    UND ran a 26-man roster last year (like usual). I doubt that'll change going forward. What was unusual was it was 14-8-4 (F-D-G) not the usual 15-8-3. So Pogo and Gersich and Cam are going to stay. That means 5 known departures (1G, 2F, 2D). The goalie departure returns that category to 3 (meaning back to 15 forwards). If Tomek leaves, Thome comes. That's a 1-for-1 swap. Schlossman thinks 4F and 2D are coming. The D is a 2-for-2 swap. But bringing in 4 but only losing 2 (plus the open slot if they go back to 3 goalies) means there's a "16th" forward. I don't recall that at all this century. It makes me wonder.

    ... make the hard decisions.

    You mean, how come she hasn't written a personal check.

    Underwhelming selection. I'd heard whispers about money issues at UNO. I wonder if he wasn't a fiscally responsible option.

    Just because you aren't paying attention ...
  6. The Sicatoka
    You assume that's the only cut for NDSU. Wrong.
  7. The Sicatoka
    When NDSU took over that program it was supposed to be revenue neutral, no impact, on taxpayers. $3,500,000 later it's not so neutral.

    Like he'd run with it.

    My source just told me it's now on the public web site. http://www.undsports.com/fls/13500/Athletic Dept/BusOps/FY16 NCAA Report as Submitted 01.17.17_FINAL.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=13500

    That's not enough. FY16 WIH: Expenses: $2,132,160 Revenues: $212,180 Net: -$1,919,980 At 5%, you need more like $38.4 million. Call it $40 million by the time you get it accumulated and another year of expense growth. And honestly, 5% is pretty aggressive. I'd say 4% is more realistic which would mean more like $48-50 million.

    I'll let the person who gave the information to me decide if they want it to go beyond. Honestly, it's a simple FOIA request. I'm surprised some media jackals aren't all over it already. All you'd have to ask for is the FY16 NCAA report as submitted by UND to the NCAA*. *Yeah, I just flat out taunted every media member reading this thread. Let's see who's interested in reading the real data. **Conference distributions were about $300k. I assume that's all (BSC, NCHC, WWCHA) total. Found it by accident in the PDF.

    It's in the minutes of the last #gobc meeting.

    And you don't see I'm joking (or do you really think Notre Dame fears his wrath)?
  16. The Sicatoka
    You think I'm going to dig through 73 pages of PDF for those numbers? Uh, no. Revenues and expenses by sport are on two pages of the 73. Find the 73 page PDF and dig.

    What you want to know is (FY2016): WIH: -$1,919,980 MSD: -$266,763 WSD: -$589,140
  18. The Sicatoka
    That wasn't the change.org petition; that was that someone saw YOUR name on it and immediately jumped to your whim to avoid facing your wrath. That or the DC at Notre Dame terrible and management fired him for cause.

    No Gracen, you'd have a footlong from Subway.

    I have acquired through unnamed sources the FY2016 revenue and expense statement to the NCAA that UND filed. I've been quoting numbers from previously acquired copies of the same but for FY2014 and FY2015. I'm pleased to report that the REA expense in FY2016 has been spread across MBB, WBB, MIH, WIH, VB, and Soc. It appears 1% was charged to Soccer; nominally 33% to users of the Betty (MBB, WBB, VB), 18% to WIH, and 48% to MIH. That's nominally a $1.16 million expense not footed by MIH; it added a (real) $398k expense to WIH.

    Change.org petitions and Twitter hashtag campaigns: hugely effective since ... never.
  22. The Sicatoka
    That and $6 will get you a footlong at Subway (but only if I spot you the sales tax).

    So if Idalski can raise that kind of money it begs the question: Why hasn't he been doing it.
  24. The Sicatoka
    Yes, there are 11 NDUS institutions and many of them should be shuttered; however, that said, it should be done because they are inefficient or their missions are anachronisms in today's world or it's right for the ND taxpayer, not to save some collegiate fun and games. Close an NDUS institution and it had better be for a greater good for the State, the entire State.
  25. The Sicatoka
    Let me help folks understand how they made the choices. They made sure: - revenues and expenses (when they are in the Summit) match -- that's called "a balanced budget"; I know it's crazy-talk in some quarters - Title IX equity is met -- that's called "not losing in court" The Summit requires 85% or more funding of seven conference sports. UND wasn't doing that. They had to add scholarships to at least three sports to get to just that level. UND cut more than they had to so they were sure they could meet future obligations.
