I must assume you are making significant financial contributions to the basketball program then.
Once the renovation was complete and the fan loyalty was taken out of the equation I dropped my Guardian Level SASO membership and four tickets and vowed to never step foot into Koch arena.
I had one lapse a couple of years ago only to see the Shox lose to Drake.Let's hope he can hit a D-1 Curve ball!

This sounds like an opportunity for a D1 school without football, who would like to have success right from the start.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

Yesterday the Board of Regents unanimously approved UNI's proposal for funding going forward, so yes, our D-1 athletic programs are safe at UNI.
I think this whole process has been about formalizing the difference in how athletics are financed at UNI vs. Iowa/Iowa State. There are only 14 athletic programs in the country completely self suficient. Iowa is one, and Iowa State will join them next year. UNI compares favorably with it's peer schools and even some BCS schools.
And no, you can't have our entire coaching staff. :D

Originally posted by Shirley SchmidtDuring their biggest ride in their program's history we have managed to split the regular season series each of the last two years with them, one of those being a couple points away from a 3-1 lead. Not to mention one of those wins was during one of our down years.
I'm also pretty sure the overall head-to-head is very close, with UNI with a slight advantage. But overall and recently during UNI's glory run, we have held decent.
I wouldn't say they have "owned" us or anything.
We are talking about Northern Iowa, not North Carolina or some other traditional powerhouse.
It's Nothern Freeking Iowa guys!
Look what they spend on their program, look at what they pay their coach we ought to be killing them every time the Shox step on the floor against them.
Holding our own?
That is not good enough for me.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

I don't know what the moose is smoking, but there is only one sport turning a hefty profit and that is men's BB. It is the golden goose that needs to be carefully nurtured to keep it healthy so all other sports can continue to either flourish, or do what is necessary to allow them to flourish. For example, volleyball is great, but the tickets are practically free, so there is no profit there. Women's BB needs to turn the corner and establish a fan base of several thousand fans. That would really help the entire program. Hopefully that will begin to take focus this year."Two dribbles and a ham sandwich" ~ Gregg Marshall
