I'm saying now is not the time to relax.
Now is the time to thrive.
It's good advice.I'm sure they have no intentions of relaxing. They were quite aware in the fall when their team was potentially on the chopping block. I wouldn't think any team would lay on their laurels considering all that has happened these last few months. Good advice for all teams.

Did Softball come out and say something about the cuts?
Highly unlikely.

Dear UND Softball,
Congratulations. You survived last week.
Frankly, that means nothing. Yes. Nothing. Performance matters. If you are dregs of whichever league you may reside in, at some point you'll be examined.
Yes, frank, harsh, direct. But do not sit back and think "you've made it". You've made nothing other than a trip closer to the harsh spotlight.
Tough to hear, but still good advice.
Signed,
A UND fan and
a guy that once survived the first two rounds of layoffs at a place that did threeSo where did this come from?

That article really doesn't cover why those two sports were chosen over any other sports. The simple answer is that they were the two most expensive sports. But considering they were both much more successful than tennis, soccer and softball...I still question the choice to cut both programs.
I don't blame Kennedy for this he inherited a mess and it got worse once he got here, and he had to make a tough choice. I just want to know the other options he realistically had and what reasoning he ultimately used to make his choice.
As I understand the reason for s/d cut is after cutting WH, they needed to get title ix compliant while also cutting enough money to cover additional scholarships for the Summit League requirements. They also had to look at what other sport they could cut without cutting core sports for Big Sky which we are part of for another year. The only teams they could cut would have been softball and soccer. Cutting those two teams would have caused a title ix problem without cutting a men's sport. S/D I believe costs more than soccer and softball combined. Plus no one really knows what kind of conversations UND had with Summit. They may have expressed a desire for one sport over another? We will never know but I believe it came down to putting the most money back into the budget and staying compliant with tittle ix, and having to put money into the scholarships offered once we get to the Summit.

My main question for the evening.
Will this be challenged?
Doubtful. I believe that's the reason they enlisted a law firm schooled in Title IX
-
I don't think the consultants will talk. It will be Faison and Kennedy.
-
So we are seeing all kinds of information on WIH, anyone see anything on swim/dive?

So with this news, UND will be down to 17 sports. Unless there is another we are not aware of.
Would the AD meet with all teams that were to be cut? I would assume that's his role.
-
Any word on other sports?
-
Why would the Herald have an article out there now if they haven't been told? That would be bad on the Herald wouldn't it?

Another source and idk if this is true as he has been unreliable
we will still have women's hockey However no schollies
I would think the scholarships would be the least costly of the entire sport.

Difficult for the student-athletes and fans but was the correct move if true.
If this is true, it will make other sport(s) decisions to cut more manageable to swallow.

Regardless of what sport(s) get cut, it's hard on everyone, not just hockey players and fans.

And they wouldn't have wasted time on a Title IX consultant if they were going that direction
Agree 100%.
-
They can't cut tennis unless Big Sky approves it. Tennis is core sport to Big Sky and we are in for another year...
-
I wonder if anyone here has knowledge or experience from other universities that have cut programs?
