What is one to take away from this? NDSU has more athletic money (and or externally) than UND (and or less expenses)?

The mood here is probably about the same as the Colorado College message board..."No worries all we have to do is win the nchc tournament and we'll be in where we'll do some damage like we did to the North Dakota this season."

Sounds like GF is already trying to vote on another sales tax increase.

Class B draw better in Fargo? Who would have thought that state hockey would leave GF, ten/fifteen years ago especially when GF had just got one of the nicest hockey facilities in the country. Scheels Arena (or whatever the new NDSU basketball arena is called) would make a nice class B basketball arena.

I didn't say Kennedy wouldn't have any say. "Sounds good" is the presidents confirmation of the recommendations. Not sure about your last comment. I was probably just pointing out hypocrisy of said statements.

If you're great at reading between the lines like I am, thats basically what the Herald article stated.

I don't think Kennedy is going to make any decision. He said Faison cut a million plus from the athletic budget...and then he'll say "Sounds good. I'll be by your side when you tell everyone."

At least it'll be more interesting watching and having a reason to cheer for other teams now...

I'm not a fan of Fargo hosting the tournament seeing they host almost everything and me being a GF fanboy, but have to admit Scheels Arena is perfect arena for the high school hockey tournament and Fargo is the largest city by Far in North Dakota which means it'll basically always have very good attendance.

Went off the deep end for answering a simple question.

That's no good.

Don't believe so. Those two are also safe despite the money they lose.

They're going to keep women's hockey despite the numbers because it's one of the most watched women's sports on campus.

We obviously know that's not true. Football Mens and women's hockey Mens and women's basketball Volleyball All safe.

Is this from the same guy that basically tried to write an article saying the move to the Summit/MVFC might be a financial wash.

The numbers say it should be cut, but the administration says it wont', stock on on medicine and energy drinks.

Womens Hockey won't be cut at UND thanks to its sugar daddy in Mens Hockey.

Yeah quit taking my job.

Of course most would rather win the basketball post season conference title, just like most would want to win a hockey national championship over the conference championship. Not exactly ground breaking news. But completing the first goal along the way is not "for naught" whether any other goals are met that season. It's an accomplishment the teams can be proud of; hang their hats on; building blocks for the future. The UND football team season was not "for nothing" because they didn't win a national championship. (EWU got the conference auto bid to the playoffs. If only one team from the Big Sky got a postseason invite like Mens Basketball the football team would have been sitting at home) The hockey team also would have been sitting home the last four years if only the conference postseason champion was awarded an NCAA tournament invite. Having one team, especially a newcomer like UND, win the leagues top four sports regular season championships would be huge...the whole purpose of this topic....of course not as huge as if they all won national championships/sweet 16s.

I think everyone knows there is more than one goal for every sports program. And winning the conference is always the first. "Sorry hockey team you won the conference, but not to be a debbie downer, it's all for naught because you didn't win the national title (or the NCAA regional)."

"UND has an easy Big Sky schedule this year."

Fun game to watch. Good job boys.

I'm going to go eat dinner. I'll be back to watch the end.

This win is for the guy in the front row wearing a Sioux jersey.

Not going to be mad about fouling easy baskets right now.
