That ratio split does seem a bit odd....i know a guy...you could call him "the guy" that wrote a large large check 25 years ago or whatever to save the golf team....

i doubt if he would have wanted 15% of it going to a sport other than golf.

Isn't that a check cut to the school rather than a collective?

yes, that was before all this NIL stuff.....but if a big timer wanted to write a check for the 1883 but wanted 100% going to certain sport you would think that could accomated..

 

yes i think he a few guys wrote checks for an endowment of some sort...he lives outside bemidji still and still golfs

until the NIL 1883 stuff is more tranparent as to where the money is going a lot of people will wonder how much off the top is white glasses taking?

I’m a strong believer in what the 1883 is doing and trust them completely.  It takes a ton of legal wrestling to do it right.  That takes money.  The off the top is for legit expenses.  I for one am thankful they stepped up to do a challenging work.  Keeping quiet about who gets what is to not show your cards to other teams.  Just my two cents.  BTW I wished I could pull off the white glasses but sadly I can’t.  He rocks it.

I love how a couple key individuals came together and formed a non profit to help UND athletics.

This isn't a full time job for them. They are just volunteers.

And asking for money like any non profit.

People acting like this is a UND alumni association at work.

Maybe UND should funnel some money to form another collective with full time fundraisers!

It's not going to be easy to suddenly add $500k to $million+ a year to the "donation pockets" of the UND stakeholders.

Agreed we should be lucky they are using their time and resources for it 

 

maybe they could have a ama on here

Exactly. I appreciate the 1883 collective and encourage people to contribute, but I would be surprised if they have the time to be reaching out to the big fish needed to move the needle. Almost needs to be grass roots where us as fans spread the word in hopes of reaching those big fish. I know Gage made a tweet a few weeks ago about him leading an effort if players left due to NIL. I think Gage and company could potentially reach some big fish. Need more of that!

Well, they better start working then because that has now happened.
