Well, I guess if they are having financial problems, a person with some business background wouldn't be a bad idea.

Maybe Schepp could take that over. He is teaching a Finance 300/400 level course on sports finance.

They could get someone else in there to do Championships. Particularly if they lost $23K on the home playoff football game under his guidance.

Actually this position was re posted. I guess no CPA's want to work for 30,000. Wasnt the salary range for executive secretary a range up to 30,000?? So a CPA and a executive secretary are worth the same amount of money?? Where is this logic?? I wonder how many CPA's in GF are working for 30,000 a year or even bumped up to 35,000?? Any previous Administrative experience would be helpful here!!

I was a partner in a large firm. New starts fresh out of UND make more than $30,000 a year, and most of them are not yet CPA's. They are kidding themselves if they think a decent candidate will take $30,000 and not continue to look until they find a better deal...there's nothing worse than alot of turnover in the accounting department when it comes to the quality of management information...

$30k?

SALARY: $35,000 - $45,000

Many of the positions at UND are underpaid (look at the pay rankings for professors). I have interviewed for a couple of positions in years past, including an assistant AD position with RT, and the pay was not great for any of them. That is part of the reason for the constant turnover. How many assistant ADs has UND gone through in the past 5 or 10 years? Most have moved on to higher paying jobs at other colleges or universities.

I'm still waiting for Diggler to apply.

Though, I can't imagine Diggler in a suit and tie. Diggler, do you own a tie? (I should note a tie, to me, isn't a clip on)

I'd guess people have tried to tie things around his neck before, but he got away.
