Joining the Mountain West would run an $8MM - $9MM annual deficit - can we overcome that?

Just agree that you don't know what you are talking about and that you are wrong.

Thats how I interpreted their "agree to disagree" post.

Yes, NDSU planned for it. I assume they will pull it off and do well. But, I'm sorry $10 million isn't some incredible donor raise, and NDSU is in a different position than MSU and UM. And NDSU didn't have to bring UND with them/ They have more access to money than UM. They don't have to move their sports other than football. Their fans were falling off due to boredom. They were in a position where they needed to consider doing something. They can expand their seating and sell more tickets, presumably at a higher price. UM is closer to being maxed out with attendance and prices, I am told. Good for them.

Maxed out with attendance and prices? Thats according to our loser AD.

UM has ONE Conference Championship in the last SEVENTEEN YEARS. But .. we consistently sell out and always have incredible season ticket numbers.

I’d love to see an audit of that feasibility study.

Maxed out? Ha! Loserville!

Many of us read the study at the time. Brint helped me do our own study, which was done ahead of the feasibility study for UM. The UM study validated the one Brint and I did.

I said "closer" to being maxed out. Try to read and comprehend better. UM ticket prices are high already. Yes, UM could add a few more thousand, but not like 10,000. Adding 10,000 would be a big chunk of financing a move-up. And, there's the risk of losing attendance if UM loses too many games. Are you another windmill chaser and pie-in-the-sky guy?
