Departmental Updates

Internal Operations, Daniella Irle

Daniella Irle discussed a handout she distributed on the NCAA Division I Athletics Certification. The program is designed to ensure that member institutions adhere to the NCAA’s fundamental commitment to integrity in intercollegiate athletics. UND is required to complete the certification as part of the reclassification process. Much of what is being done is an extension of the compliance review previously conducted. A copy of the handout is attached to the minutes.

Athletics Department, Brian Faison

• Radio Contract: Brian Faison reported that KFGO-790 ended their relationship with UND 2 years early and will no longer carry Fighting Sioux Athletics in the Fargo-Moorhead area. This move ends a 17 year relationship with KFGO and is a direct result of NDSU demanding exclusive coverage by that station. UND received only 2 hours notice and was not given a chance to negotiate. The Athletics Department will be seeking an alternate radio partner in the Fargo market.
• An updated budget report was distributed.
• Athletics will be hosting the All Sports Awards Program on Wednesday, May 5, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom.
• Two new coaches have been hired. Dan Brown is the new assistant women’s volleyball coach. He has a great deal of experience with club volleyball and excellent recruiting contacts in the Midwest and Canada. Peter Elander has been hired as the associate head coach for women’s hockey. He just finished his duties as the head coach of the women’s Swedish Olympics team.

The meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
