Now that is what I was looking for. Much easier. Thanks.

I get the theory. But by your own admission "the median would be closer to zero." Meaning about half the programs lose money and half made money. Or at least that is what the "amounts" would say. We will never know. And also as it has been pointed out the stats would be skewed by schools like Montana "losing money" on athletics but thanks to cutting expenses making it look like they broke even. So "it goes both ways." I get what you are saying. I think I have said my peace. Good debate. Good discussion.

Pretty sure Grand Forks can claim the most hockey championships for one city? Between Grand Forks Central/RR/UND they have 47 championships! Obviously a skewed stat, but cool none the less. Any other city come close? Including the NHL? I mean "city" not "metro" area.

New study shows old age beings at 27. I am past the point of no return!! ha http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1162052/Old-age-begins-27--scientists-claim-new-research.html

Sometimes politics are most important than how good a job you do at your job...sadly.

"Closed Session"? Between a building voted by and paid for by the taxpayers to a group elected by the people of Grand Forks? Why do people complain about how this city is run? "Hey council, we're going to need to borrow $3 Million for the turf from you guys. Got any change."??

Do you have any evidence of any of this? That most athletics departments don't lose money. Which I proved they do? You talk like a politician, saying much while saying nothing. If not I will listen to the Montana Athletic Director and articles from ESPN on people who have done the research. And it states many athletic programs lose millions a year. Some lose many millions some lose less millions and its hard to argue that the article states if you don't have football and basically are division I, the median loss is $2.8 Million. I know how nonprofits work yes. They can make profits. And So do many athletic programs like Ohio St. Yeah they "sink" it back in. Doesn't mean they don't make a "profit." Its semantics, I get it. The nonprofit Altru can pay its CEO $1 Billion if it wants. Call them profits call them whatever...its money made from operations. The main point.....if Montana has to cut $250,000 a year in expenses. I guess that means the odds of Montana building anything new for athletics....might be the same as UND building anything new for athletics. Pretty sure playing football in the Big Sky will be a money loser for UND.

Here is what I read: http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=5490686 I guess it might be still feasible to build the IPF.

I just remembering i thought I read most FCS programs lose money. And when I read Montana athletic directors letter it further stated that conclusion? I guess many programs might break even thanks to cutting expenses And isn't it all just accounting? Montana St to help keep up with Montana has "institutional support" and twice the student fees.

and what if the supreme court finds keep the name is unconstitutional? Will there be appeals?

It is pretty sad that the SBOHE is trying to undermine the people of North Dakota.

and then there will be appeal after appeal?

Is the alumni association going to have a stern talk with the uninformed fraternity members on U avenue and Columbia road with the banner hanging outside claiming "save the fighting sioux"?

In case you forgot...Despite the nickname "controversy" last year UND set a record for donations: Most athletic programs already run in the red. Maybe UND could run in the red like them and still build a IPF.

Thanks.

He has talked to the Sac St president about this issue...and says.....it pretty unlikely they would get every president to agree to kick UND out.

He gives a lil jab to the "the sky is falling crowd" about the nickname. Says even if UND keeps the nickname, over the long run, they won't have a problem filling schedules, and things will "work themselves out."

He basically said "whatever." Hopes UND resolves the nickname issue, but the conference doesn't really have a stance on the nickname.

Is there a way to see more recent posts made by a member after you click on their name and then "posts." It currently shows the five most recent. I was just wondering if there was something I missed and you can see more of the recent posts? Thanks.

And this is why the Sioux are college hockey.

Hockey City USA, BABY!

and he was getting at...he doesn't necessarily agree. He was pointing out donors probably specifically mentioned "hey I want my donation to go to the IPF."

Versus not playing the game at all? As is the current situation?

It's funny. People always seem to say this, but when you actually look at things that indicate a rival: attendance, and not people saying, this team is not really a rival. It becomes a different story. The UND game set an attendance record at the Amsoil Arena. Not only that more fans came to watch UND for the weekend series than they did against Minnesota: 13,550 vs 13535

So should Faison say "Hey I am sorry." You know what why not play every other year. Its better than nothing. Let's schedule it. Why demand something with NDSU that UND doesn't demand with any other team?
