    Here's where I'll be ripped to shreds by some of you: Bowling should not be an NCAA sport for that matter.
  2. The Sicatoka
    I posted these thoughts on at least two other forums. I'm going to repeat them here.

    I'll say it again: When the move to DI was made, Acting AD Phil Harmeson told a room with 21 coaches in it that about 5 of them would be gone in 5-10 years. No one has had the "gusto", (c) Gino Gasparini, to make the tough call since. That reality and a sagging State budget throw this into the lap of President Kennedy. At least the man is a man and dealing with it. Personally, make me king for a day, I'd reshape the department ...

    Shell game. You mean where information isn't available and visible and the parts are kept moving to keep observers confused? This thread has linked to two years worth of UND Athletics financials available on the internet. Struggle as I may, I'm yet to find the same for NDSU when I look. If you have a link to NDSU's numbers I'm interested.

    Remember: Scheels in GF is in Columbia Mall (in the old Target location).

    A significant portion of that is pledged but not in-hand yet. (See: my will. )

    I thought there was talk of FCS moving to 12 games; however, that would only extend an already long season*. This seems like such a divisive issue with teams that need FBS games to make budget you have to wonder what forces are in play. *Imagine a 12 game year, and being the 24th playoff team. -- potentially 17 games!

    From an OWH story on Dean Blais: Not sayin', jus' sayin'.

    Huh-who-wha? Their brand new shiny hockey barn LOST $1.5 million in the inaugural season? Makes a $1.4 million problem in the total UND Athletics budget smart a little (not a lot, a little) less.

    Filthy mitts. Hey ... YOU guys brought up Buccigross.

    C'mon man. That's flat cray-cray talk. It's only going to be at 10000 feet. At 15000 you'd have to pipe oxygen to all the seats to keep people from passing out.

    Wrong question: "If the price of a barrel of oil was where it was 3 or 4 years ago ... " is the correct question. Enrollment really hasn't changed all that much. And the HPC was needed and it wasn't $30M, more like $10M.

    When Kennedy said it's his intention to do this once in his tenure gave me hope.
  14. The Sicatoka
    You're right. It's not a business. It's a subsidized charity far too often. And with large expenses no less.

    The numbers I have say M/W S&D cost about $949k and bring in about $70k. I assume the income is camps or donations. I've been for lacrosse for a while for UND. We could raid Canada for (overage ) mens and womens teams. We could also raid the MSP and DEN metros for western players. And honestly, there are a lot of good athletes around here that are too small for DI BB or DI FB but that could play lax given time to learn (think: red shirt year). UND could do camps to replace the other income. But, UND could play in the HPC and maybe actually gate some income also.

    The Toronto Maple Leafs mission statement.
  17. The Sicatoka
    Crazy notion: Kennedy is crazy like a fox. Did he know the IAC was inept and put it on display. Why? After this does anybody want him to deal with them again? Or, for that matter, the IAC's parent the University Senate. He's just proven one body inept, and de facto maybe the other. Pretty bold for me to make that wild assumption. However, from the start he said the final call was his alone. I thought he did this as an olive branch. Who knows, it could be more than that. Remember: he is a politician. And politically he just took the teeth right out of the IAC and the University Senate.

    So there are 14 playing BSC FB in 2020 (Idaho in). Nine games. So, is the play to split (N/S? E/W?) into 7 and 7? Schedule would be ... play the 6 in your half (alternating home yearly) and then play three from the other side? How do you pick the three? Rotating? By last year's finish? Nine makes sense when you have ten, but 14? Are BSC teams having trouble filling 3 (or 4) non-BSC games every year? So many questions ...

    Much agreement. Transparency is always best.
  22. The Sicatoka
    < ding ding ding > Yup. Big roster (to balance athlete totals of FB) and fund it to the top 10% of women's rowing (to match top 10% of FB funding).
  23. The Sicatoka
    Honestly, that is the approach many schools have taken.

    Title IX is US Federal law. If you don't like it, call Cramer, or Hoeven, or Heitkamp. The NCAA? No comment, but they've been known to enforce some really "interesting" stuff ...
  25. The Sicatoka
    Got their books? I see they have gymnastics and rowing. I'm guessing it's not hard to fund top tier in those to balance football. Assume Bama is top 10% in FB spending. What's it take to be top 10% in spending on gymnastics or rowing? (Probably a rounding error in the FB budget.)
