Then UND has indeed reached its pinnacle.  Be happy with what we got and stop all this list bull$%!# because they are already as interested as they will get, Summit League and Missouri Valley drive the bus, in a national value, not hockey my friend. Hockey very finite, basketball and football has always produced more in the state of ND since its inceptioT here is only 1 State of Hockey and ND is 4 or 5 on the list of 7. College sports is a money game and UND is losing.

You speak with bison tongue.

Serious question.  What if UND didn't fund hockey like it does and hits mens/womens basketball and football at highest priority like rest of nation, and North Dakota, I'm just spit ballin' as most of your host state doesn't follow the main sport of UND like basketball and football is followed.  Would this help sponsorship the more important sports at a higher level and also these sports generate a higher level of funds.

 

Hockey makes more money than pretty much every fcs football program or mid/low major bb program in the country.

That said, once fb is on better footing, I think UND/REA should invest some in bb and move some games to the revenue.  Need a court.  Can take advantage of suites and concessions and marketing potential there to generate more bb rev.  Alabama was a huge missed opportunity imo.

that kansas game was the greatest...imagine if the bama game was over there and trey was bombing those 3 in front of 13k people?

How much did NDSU get paid from Gate City to put on those little 2 x 2 patches on the uni's?   I can't comprehend that anyone is even going to see those things let alone run out and open an account there.

Former CEO and current board member of the bank is a huge bison booster.  It's more about sending them money than the exposure.
