President Kennedy Message on Athletics
The Sicatoka replied to fightingsioux4life's topic in Other Sports
So I go away for a week with Kennedy having a big win (the IAC renege) and I come back to find 20 sports still in play? Seriously? C'mon man ...- 2,150 replies

President Kennedy Message on Athletics
The Sicatoka replied to fightingsioux4life's topic in Other Sports
Who just won, and won huge? UND President Mark Kennedy. 1. He just owned the faculty. They complain when they're not involved in the decisions; but, when involved they completely renege. Based on this Kennedy no longer has to ask them anything. Why? He tried and they self-exposed as inept and unwilling. 2. He has carte blanche now regarding Athletics. He can do whatever he wants. Whatever he may have in store he now has complete and full reign.- 2,150 replies

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 ...- 2,150 replies

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.- 2,150 replies

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!

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.

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.- 2,150 replies

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.- 2,150 replies

The Sicatoka replied to fightingsioux4life's topic in Other Sports
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.- 2,150 replies

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 ...
