September 16, 2009 IAC Meeting.

Logo: The logo controversy continues to impact Athletics. As an example, the UND swimming and diving team was scheduled to travel to Iowa City. The Iowa school was hosting a meet and the University of Illinois was attending. Due to the name/logo, Iowa would not compete against UND but Illinois was on our schedule. UND was recently contacted by Iowa and told they could not participate in an event at their school because of the logo. Until the logo issue is resolved, scheduling will continue to be a major problem.
Budget: Scott Herring, Associate AD/CFO, presented a budget report. He went through the revenues and expenses, relating the items to the pro forma and to actual revenues and expenses. Athletics finished FY09 in the black.

October 20, 2009 IAC Meeting...

.Facility Issues

Brian Faison discussed several facility issues that are taking place. The swimming pool in the Hyslop has serious issues and is in need of major renovations. The University is in the process of deciding the next steps to take. There are also issues with the Hyslop weight room floor. Nate Baukol, Director of Strength and Conditioning, has put together a plan to account for anything, shuffling of teams, etc.

Ongoing projects include a partnership with the Grand Forks Parks and Recreation Department regarding baseball and tennis facilities. The plans for the indoor practice facility for football and track are also ongoing.

Interesting.

It will be very interesting to see what the final plans are for the indoor facility and how it's going to be financed. IMO, an indoor facility is an immediate need for the athletic department and it is something that will help shape the future for several different sports on campus. It will obviously help football, but track and field, soccer, and baseball/softball would also stand to benefit.

For this reason, I hope the plan is to not cut corners and to build the highest quality facility that can be afforded. It's that important to the future of UND athletics.

UND did get authorization to spend $19.5 mill (without any appropriation) from the

2009-11 Legislative Authorizations, so there wouldn't need to be an extensive wait if the donations are availabe.

With the EERC scheduled to add on to their Hydrogen Research Center directly south of the Old Engelstad, there's less land available and the old REA may have to come down (but on who's $?)

I thought the last report we heard was that they were somewhat seriously considering converting the old REA into the practice facility.

I would imagine the school is going to submit a request for funds by the state. I can't imagine these things come cheap at all...
