They play football in an off campus facility that they don't own.
UNI is a good comparison with the successful football program. We are paying Farley 294k and Jake gets 500k. Even with 'nattys' they are only paying Bohl 206k and whoever the hell their basketball coach is only making 135k.
Hmmmmm. Seeing the numbers is really starting to change my views on NDSU...
Bohl gets paid a chunk of the gate on top of his base, plus he has a media deal that puts him at around $300k before he gets paid performance incentives. I do think he could ask NDSU for more but recently he has wanted his assistants to get raises, I believe his new contract guarantees that in writing that his assistants will be paid at the top 10 of the FCS. Outside of that his new deal didn't really give him much of a raise.
We play in on campus football facility that we don't fully control. But if somebody is going to build you a new facility on campus it is hard to say no. We also have two new field turf practice fields, new coaches offices and locker rooms that the school/donors all paid for. We are just about ready to break ground on a $32 million basketball facility and there is $6 million indoor track facility that we just built sitting right next to it. Clearly we are in the poor house right now and have no money.
