On the subject of Polesek's salary, with the G6 coaches getting that kind of money, how long will be before Schmidt gets something big like that offered to him and moves on?   You can bet that another good year and he's on somebody's radar.   These G6 salaries are nuts, especially for Polesek. 

That's exactly what the masses have been calling for - a high energy coach that is so good he gets opportunities to move on - not one looking for a retirement job.

It was interesting to read that NDSU's level of funding from student and state money was 26% and UNDs was significantly more than that. Is that accurate? Or is that figure based on the fact that NDSU now has a much higher athletic budget due to the cost of moving to FBS?

My goal is a high energy coach we can hang on to.   Maybe it's unrealistic but we can hope.

I think UND’s is around 50%. Any number of factors drive the difference:

1. Different Title IX compliance approaches: measuring based on interest versus a true 50/50 participation model.

2. NDSU receives around $1M from charitable gambling in the Fargo area, while UND has chosen not to pursue that funding approach for athletics.

3. NDSU has gone back to students for additional funding and has been denied. UND students have generally been somewhat more receptive to increased support.

The reality is that both North Dakota schools rely on public resources far less than the average Division I state-supported university.
