I'm also not lobbying for WH, although it may seem to some on this board that I am, because I've been making many comments about why we will continue to have WH. And I'll add, that I do not mind that we have WH.
UND funds both Hockey teams at the highest levels with the big schools in the NCAA, top level of Div I. They share near the best building and facilities within. UND isn’t even close to that type of support for any other sport.
Hypothetical again:
If UND cut WH, I would think to stay compliant with Title IX, they would have to choose a women’s sport and fund it comparably with the best in the country. That would be funding that sport at the caliber of the top funding Universities in that particular sport, including building and facilities within. We don't have the $ to make that happen.
WH was in the plans from Day 1 with the palace and will not be chopped. It's part of the big plan for 14 more years.
