    Given Schlossman stated "there are a few guys who we can be sure are coming" we can make some assumptions: He lists four forwards (Mismash, Kawaguchi, Adams, Jones). There weren't four spots open a forward at season's end. UND ran with 14 F last year (when usual is 15), so maybe there's one spot. Then Boeser. Now Jost. So there's three slots, but four "sure are coming"? That tells me Pogo is more than likely gone, or someone not consistently breaking the game day lineup is leaving. (He also lists three F eligible to come, Keane, Mattson, Sended, so if the departures are more than expected the contingencies are lined up.) At defense there's just one opening (Ausmus), but we know Tucker Poolman is all but gone. He lists Bast and Rieger. That math works. (He also lists Kiersted as eligible to come which tells me Chartrand might be contemplating leaving.) Now it gets interesting: Cam Johnson is coming back*. But we lose a senior (Matty Rinks) so Peter Thome is sure to come in. But, if Matej Tomek decides to leave, what does UND do? And what about the fourth goalie, Anderson? If he leaves Scheel comes. If Anderson stays does it trust its stable to be Cam, Thome, and Anderson? Or, does Adam Scheel come in and they go with four? *I guess he wants another season behind a veteran defense, ala 2015-16.

    Cam is NOT going. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/4242894-cam-johnson-returning-und-senior-season

    Some key details: So the WIH scholarships will go toward women's golf, softball, and track and field.
  5. The Sicatoka
    So UND cuts women's hockey. The State (DOT) is looking at closing close to a dozen highway maintenance offices in just SE ND. Let me put that another way: They are looking at pulling in the snow plows and shops from all the rural areas. Yes, ND can't afford to plow the rural highways.

    Well played. Well played. < tips cap >

    UND WIH lost $1.4 million dollars in FY 2015. The State of ND budget is cutting 20% across the board. Those are simple harsh facts, and realities.

    From Tom Miller's article: Wasn't there a UND president not that long ago that said something like pick a few things and do them exceptionally well at the highest level you can. (Hint: CE Kupchella)

    What are we talking about?
  11. The Sicatoka
    That's why combined they were $1,000,000 in the red last year.
  12. The Sicatoka
    My numbers say the cut about $2.3 million in operating expenses. They only had to cut $1.3 per the State. I suspect (and Faison said as much) that the difference will be reallocated to meet other needs and commitments in the department.

    Meet Fritz Pollard Jr. -- UND FB tailback, 1936 Olympics bronze medalist in the 110 hurdles.

    Starvation funding, if any.

    When you don't have the money to run from the State, you have no options.

    Think about it: He basically just fired how many coaches? If you've never fired anyone, it's just as hard to, as to be. Like I tell people, you haven't been a manager until you've: set budget, made budget, hired, fired. None of those are easy.
  17. The Sicatoka
    And that's $1 million in expense with only $70k in revenue. Dead. Red. Ink.
  18. The Sicatoka
    The State of ND, the Legislature, and Gov. Bergum's budget, mandated UND Athletics cut $1.3 million. You do what the guys who cut the checks for you tell you to do.
  19. The Sicatoka
    I feel for Eric Fabian.
  20. The Sicatoka
    The numbers are here. It costs (Op Expenses) just about $1 million for M/W S&D.
  21. The Sicatoka
    Ask the ND Revenue Department in Bismarck. Or get your checkbook out.
  22. The Sicatoka
    What I learned: UND went beyond $1.3 million to reallocate dollars to fully fund some other sports (scholarships) as a part of moving to the Summit. UND is still holding men's golf to the "survival deal".
  23. The Sicatoka
    Yup. I was wrong. (There's my once for 2017. )
  24. The Sicatoka
    Irony is a harsh mistress.
  25. The Sicatoka
    Seriously?
