I think at some schools the majority of focus is likely on only one or two sports especially those who only prioritize the couple they care about. When Chaves is gone from UND I would expect we see an upturn in performances from our teams.

Any idea who it is?

Looking at soccers records since going Division I they have had a losing record every year except one. It’s a perennially losing program. Cut the program or invest in the facility.

Was he calling them to transfer to a specific program?

I don’t know enough about the grass surface but the facility itself looks dreadful when you drive by it. As I said the high school stadiums in town are better they should play their home games there Or just eliminate soccer altogether nobody would notice.

I agree that could be a big part of it. Up until the title 9 reports in the media I would suspect a lot of people didn’t even know there was a soccer team at und.

The high school setups for soccer are better in this town than what UND has. They would be better playing at Cushman field if UND is too lazy to build them a proper facility IMO.

Is this due to a case of people needing to step up and help more with NIL, or is it more that grand forks is a smaller community and doesn’t have as many donors as colleges in bigger cities?

Do we have any idea how UND’s NIL deals compare to rival hockey programs?

I didn’t know there was only one win in two years. If this is connected to the investigation though it could be an issue for the university. Plus I think it would be hard for a coach to recruit athletes that could win any games when you look at the shocking state of their field. Hopefully one day we are able to discuss winning about any of our teams but right now the whole athletic department is a dumpster fire.

Yeah I think you are right. So is it related to the title 9 investigation? Once again this shows why we need a change of leadership at the AD position every week there is something else with this department and it is never good.

Is this related to the title 9 thing with the girls soccer team?

He wanted her to stay but she was adamant she was leaving and didn’t see the coaching change as a reason to change the decision.

You do realize that Jax was also a part of these decision making processes? Berry was the person ultimately in charge but his staff played large roles in recruiting, and regularly made recommendations about whether or not to take a kid. The idea that everything was Berry’s decision and not a staff decision is nonsense and that is why it is still hard to understand the hire if we want recruitment to truly change

He’s been busy online. Social media coach. Let’s see what type of product he can put on the court. I’m a little skeptical simply because if this guy is so good why was there still an exodus after season and how was he not able to prevent a prominent player going to Ndsu?
