How much institutional support do you want to give athletics versus eliminating an academic program such as nursing at Dickinson State?

Most of the concern on this board about the budget is how it relates to the football program. As for potential, has UND's institutional subsidies decreased or increased than from when it was D2?

You pretend you know it all and you don't. Quote from SV. Seriously, this coming from you is too much. It is one thing to speculate. It is another to state speculation as fact. Being a message board warrior does not make someone an expert to every program in the country. With that, Merry Christmas to you and yours.

A capsule of rumors: 2014 and prior http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2014/11/20/7256865/baseless-speculation-to-financial-shortages-the-best-of-ncaa-division

Colorado and Colorado St. were ACHA D1 then they dropped down before coming back to D1. Oklahoma and Central Oklahoma have been more formidable than the Colorado schools. Weber St. had a relevant program in ACHA D1 for a couple of years before dropping to D2.

I don't doubt there have been discussions. We don't know at what level and how significant. It's better than talking contraction. Arizona State ACHA budget was $ 250,000 in 2014. Central Oklahoma's budget was $ 90,000 in 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/sports/hockey/in-club-hockey-league-meager-funding-doesnt-kill-appetite-for-competition.html

Some of the teams at this year’s A.C.H.A. tournament believe that with the right financing, facilities and support, they could join Penn State at hockey’s highest level. But, as Battista acknowledged, “there aren’t a lot of Terry Pegulas out there.” I wouldn't get to excited about Colorado. I haven't seen any news articles from Colorado papers regarding impending move. I can go back and produce articles regarding Iowa St., Rhode Island, and Navy looking to going NCAA D1 hockey. Battista at Penn State was trying to get a NCAA program going since the 70's. Murdoch at Iowa State was looking to go D1 about as long. This is similar to Wichita St to AAC. I have seen nothing in the Cincy paper about a move or on the AAC blog at ESPN. The sources mentioned in the blog were probably a couple assistant basketball coaches sitting by the pool drinking a beer and speculating how the conference could increase its RPI.

Ashton Bell who was MFMHL scoring leader last year and Most Valuable Player currently tops league with 26 goals and 9 assists in 17 games. Manitoba's team captain at past U18 Nationals and again has been selected to represent Canada in IIHF U18 World Championships. Malia Schneider leads CSSHL in scoring. Hailey Karbonik is 7th among defense in CSSHL scoring. Gabbie Hughes is second in points among Minnesota High School players. Hanna Olsson is 11th in points in the SDHL(W). Hanna plays in the same league as Karvinen, who is the leading scorer. Willow Slobodzian is 3rd among SFMHL defense in scoring and was awarded league top defensemen in 15-16.

Seemed strange to me also. Doesn't look like the UNI women's soccer program has had much success on the pitch throughout their MVC history.

I believe she is injured.

I will have to check on Mark Slater, Doug Beaudoin, Phil Farris. and Steve Cichy to see if they were recruited or walk-ons. There are probably others.

Syracuse tied #4 Clarkson this weekend and tied ranked Colgate earlier in the season. Mankato had a win over #3 UMD this weekend.

12/2/08 Red River beat Wahpeton 18-0 2/5/09 GF Central beat Wahpeton 15-0 I might have missed it but I did not see any discussion on this board regarding these outcomes at the time that they occurred. So I am wondering if views have changed?

Brett McMurphy ‏@McMurphyESPN 7h7 hours ago Pac-12’s Larry Scott doesn’t expect Power 5 expansion “for foreseeable future. When might it happen again? Perhaps when TV contracts are up" Pac 12 rights are up in 2024.

I have looked at the Bisonville message board and other message boards. There is some good discussion and not so good discussion. A game was played with both teams and coaches trying their best. Mistakes and good plays were made by both sides. That is what competition is about.

I was at the 2001 D2 Women's Basketball Championship game when UND lost in OT. While I felt bad for the players and staff, I did not feel cheated then and I do not feel cheated now with the football team. I have learned to appreciate the journey and understand how difficult it is to attain a championship. I have watched a lot of great teams that have not won a championship. I do not hold them in a lesser regard than teams that have. If it was easy, everyone would have a trophy. For those to young, look into the 1997 Women's Basketball Regional championship comeback and let me know if the opposing team to UND had a lack of coaching or didn't have an understanding how to win.

Think about if you would say it to the subject's face. Players, friends, families, media, and staff do read the forum. Some posters need to get a grip. There are no guaranteed outcomes. UND could have fumbled on the next play after the punt. Richmond missed some plays in the first half that could have changed the game at that moment in time. I am sure future recruits can't wait to get blasted on this forum. Put in your resumes for coaching jobs. Take up a referees whistle. Apply for the AD job.

"Well, it probably bothers other people more than it bothers me," said the Hall of Fame coach. "To survive in this business, you can't have a backwards look. You lose a game and then you have to move to the next one. You can't look back and say we could have, would have, should have. When it's over, it's over."

So Bubba calls timeout at 6 seconds. Richmond doesn't burn time out. Holder mishandles snap. Richmond calls timeout. Richmond sets up for kick on 4th down. All the second guessing in the world is going to change the result.

Click on the twitter feed. It is not an official UND twitter account. @UNDmbasketball is the twitter account.

Wisconsin was up 28-7 on Penn State tonight. Penn State won. It happens. It is time to move on. There are bigger adversities in life than a game.
