Playoffs First Round: UND @ Tennessee Tech

[CMSioux]

What UND did today will benefit the entire conference for future playoff spots. Can't help but think if Larson would have still been on the committee UND does not get in.

Challenge with Jerry running the RPO is he is not a threat if he keeps it.  He might gain 7 or 8 where Simon can house one. 
 

If that is the offense going forward, Simon being more of a running threat could create more space for Siedel who has been quiet as of late as well.  
 

Someone said it earlier but getting all the pieces back this week gives me hope the offense is due for a breakout next week

As long as they don’t run the offense with Simon like they did last year when he didn’t run enough to keep them honest.

So if he leaves do we get our money back. Just give to the NIL in general and specify football, let the coaches decide who deserves the funds. I think SS is more of a flight risk.

The 701 Award is used at the discretion of the coaches of the program you choose. Guessing the staff would be smart about who they award what and when so that a kid doesn’t leave after getting paid.

Head coach "please pay our players more so they stay here."

Definition of "slippery slope."

lol the slope has been slippery long before today. Schmidt just said something out loud that is true. He doesn’t want his guys poached and neither do I. It sure as hell beats sitting on your hands and doing nothing

I was told by someone in the know that they get 2% in spring, 2% start of fall and 96% after play in 5th game so can’t leave and take redshirt.  Something Schmidt brought with him. Same as the big programs he was with did it.

Huh? Still taking time to adjust? 

Also, do you actually believe “NIL isnt a pay 2 play”?

For those still crapping on Simon

”We’ve got all the trust and belief ln Simon.

Simon has been in these kind of games, too. No matter what he’s giving us his all.

Hes a kid that’s just going to keep fighting. I’m just happy for him and getting his opportunity.

Thanks! That’s an awesome way to do it!

You mean “official” …

HAHAHA

The NCAA is incredibly hypocritical, for sure; but trying to criticize contemporary concepts by UND’s coaching staff is ludicrous (if that was your intent).

For those that can, let’s please have as many people as possible hit the link to donate per Schmidt’s request if we liked how today felt.

 

I will hit it.  It WILL add up.  The peeps to the south have millions in theirs.

Like it or not, this is how it works now.

My intent was not to critize Schmidt in that situation. I would have responded exactly as he did....protecting my players from leaving. 

It was moreso to citizen the NCAA...on the same page as you "incredibly hypocritical."

Yeah … can’t say there’s too many NCAA fans around Grand Forks and UND …

But the NCAA is in fact the [hypocritical] intercollegiate governing body … for now.
