With Kupchella preparing the Strategic Plan II, they have stated that they will continue to look at DI as an option or moving more teams up to DI while keeping the others at DII. I know the university's ultimate goal would be to move the football team up to DI-AA. Current NCAA rules allow a school to move up 2 sports teams up to DI, this excludes football and men's and women's basketball. Hockey does not count towards this because there is no DII hockey championship. So UND still has the option of moving 2 sports teams up to DI. I know this rule has been talked about on here before. Would UND be looking at this as an option to silence some of the concerns of alumni who want to go DI? I don't think it would be such a bad idea, that way in the future if UND does decided to go DI in all sports those two teams would already be funded at the DI level. In a way it is just taking small steps into DI. I assume that USD is in the same boat with some alumni pushing for DI, maybe they would consider it along with us. The two U's could possibly move their swimming and diving teams up, or golf. Just an idea. What do you people think?

It is the end of march and I haven't seen or heard anything as far as construction beginning. Just wondering if anyone has heard any inside information as far as what is going on. I would think that we should be hearing something soon as far as finalized plans.

They have Bronson Field. That is their permanent field and they will be playing there for years.

Anyone else sick of these Hit-Away commercials?

He!! yeah Way to go guys. let's keep up the intensity for the Frozen Four!!!!!!!

4:37 to go guys. Run it off.

BC scores

It looks like the crowd is slowly starting to thin out there. I am sure all of the BU fans who were there cheering for the Sioux have probably started to trickle out. 5:04 to go till the Frozen 4

Now matching minors. what a suprise.

Another Greene penalty

I never expected anything like this coming into this weekend! Quite frankly I was a little nervous how the guys were going to come out.

8:30

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Five goals on 19 shots, that is impressive!

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering that also. They have used our new logo some. Probably just too lazy to change it.

Charging penalty on BC. Announcers disagree.

The officials decided to try and make it look not quite so obvious who they are rooting for.

Another 5 on 3!

Great first period, EXCEPT FOR ALL THE PENALTY CALLS!!

Killed the powerplays!!!!!!!

These penalties are coming so fast that I can't type fast enough.

Greene just got another penalty. Boarding 5 on 3

They just called coincidental minors on both sides. Still 5 on 4.
