Yeah, I agree about the dumbing down. One of the risks of allowing a lot of public input is that most of the public is not very creative. Then you add to that the concern of the leaders to not be too "out there" and you end up with generic stuff.
On that note, I'm facing a little blowback on the Sioux Sports site. A small minority of posters over there can't wrap their brains around something that's not 'business as usual'. I'm trying to educate them. But it's attitudes like that that could make UND end up with something boring.
