The final routines drew standing ovations from the crowd of 15,558 fans, who set a record in their own right. The Utes averaged 15,244 fans this year, a new Utah and NCAA record for attendance for a women's sport.

ZOINKS! :blink:

I've seen some gymnastics events on tv when flipping through channels and there is decent attendance for them. I'll say gymnastics could make money.

You need to total the posts of the previous 11 topics in the Women's Hockey thread to exceed the 1500+ posts in the "Cutting Women's Hockey" thread.  That should give you a little idea of this sports popularity or lack thereof on the UND campus.  Not trying to spew hate, just pointing out the math.

And there are no fewer than three full "season threads" in that tally.

"And let me tell you, the women’s hockey program and swimming and diving programs earned the title of “championship caliber.”

The UND Women's Hockey program was a "championship" level program, huh?  What championships did they win?  

Make it stop.

The author of this article needs a course in logic 101.  wow unreal

At least it was an opinion piece so that's his opinion, no matter how illogical it seems.  It really bothers me when it is supposed to be a straight news story and only one half of the argument is put forward, which is becoming more and more common these days.

Championship as defined as:

  • almost became the school’s first NCAA Division I qualifier
  • has not won a national championship, (but) they were well on their way (as most of us are surely on our way to our goal weight) 

 

At least the author got this much right:

So, let’s call this for what it is, a money issue, ...

"In fact, ever since Jocelyne and her twin sister Monique Lamoureux came to UND in 2010, UND has established itself as one of the premier women’s hockey programs"

Premier = 0 National titles, 0 Conference titles, 2 NCAA playoff appearances, 0 NCAA playoff wins, and finishing 8th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, and 4th in the WCHA since the Lammy's arrived on campus.

I guess "Premier" is a relative term!!

Easily one of the top 30 ncaa WIH programs in the country.

I'd qualify your statement to be "top 30 NCAA DI WIH programs in the country." 

There are (were) 35 DI and 62 DIII and some of those DIII are pretty good.

Since the women's team has never finished below fourth place since the twins were here.....

"A crowd wound around a downtown block in Grand Forks Friday morning for a sale by a local boutique"

 

More people stood in line for this boutique store than stood in line to attend games of that aforementioned "boutique sport." :D

I  wonder  if they feel insulted when someone calls them a  boutique?
