and some of you want to spend more?

I am actually shocked that we spent $2,405,937 on Men's Basketball.

No one is fudging numbers when there isn't a guideline on how to report them. Each individual school does it their own way. Some try to make it more accurate by digging into expenses, others lump it into a giant bucket and call it good.

My point on the facilities expense was it is an outlier when looking at the MBB budget for the Dakota 4 schools. Does UND really spend more because they report their MBB facilities expense while the other 3 schools run it through general university or athletic department line items instead of tying it to a specific sport? Take that one simple outlier out and you get a better comparison.

If schools made there EADA source report more accessible, you could start comparing things a little more close, but it is still going to be pretty vague. For example, the most recent EADA report NDSU has publicly listed was published in March, 2024 for the calendar year ending on 6/30/23, SDSU doesn't list one and USD has their most recent one available but it is only the summary, not the actual report.

i wouldn't trust anything out of ndac considering they don't/didn't want the mwc to know that they have fewer than 9500 students..... and no cupholders at the fargodump

People will continue to come up with any excuse possible instead of just holding coaches accountable.

We have a coaching problem and we have a Chaves problem. 

Not disagreeing but at the same time Grand Forks isn’t a desirable place for coaches why do you think we ended up with Stevens in softball when he wouldn’t get another job in the country most likely, and coaches have made comments about how difficult it is to recruit to UND.

Really?

Schmidt is doing great on the recruiting front for FB.

Softball is winning at a pace I have never seen before. That new on-campus home field is paying off nicely.

Hockey is rejuvenated after just one year of new leadership.

The basketball programs are struggling because of poor coaching hires, a lack of thoroughness in coaching searches and a complete lack of standards and expectations from the AD's office.

Volleyball just hired a new coach, so the jury is still out on that. But that program is currently in the sewer for the same reasons I outlined above for both basketball programs.

Our new facilities are top notch and are already helping us recruit top notch student-athletes.

We've just been lacking proper leadership in the AD's office. Which has nothing to do with geography or climate.

Look over the years since UND transitioned to Division I how many big hires have happened? Hockey are having a good year is it record setting? Football same it’s a step in the right direction but body of work too small. Sorry to p!!s on your parade but Grand Forks is not a desirable location for coaches of athletes.
