very happy about this news. thank you Jesus!

The question is (and I don't know) can UND compete with BIG 10 and eastern schools that have huge endowments at their disposal, not to mention location more favorable to lifestyle...i guess we'll find out. JP Parise told Zach that UND was the best place to fast track to the NHL, that also was part of the allure of coming here for recruits as well. That's also in question now.

I know its a cliche but if money bought titles the Yankees would win every year, that being said we need to put the program in the best position to win and you can't do that if your not in the NCAA's or FF's

Do you wanna be the big fish in the little pond or a minnow in the ocean

i think what's gonna happen here is this is gonna be seen by players as a wage gap, "this guys making this much why am I not" and they just leave" The high ground UND should take is to get rid of compensation and just be like "if you wanna play for us you're playing for the pride and tradition"

the money equation has opened pandora's box, there's no going back now unless rule changes

yep and some programs might as well be in Division 2 after this era of college hockey

20 years ago it was the facilities you had, now its show me the money

so its coming down to the have's and the have not's

yep, the mojo is gone but that doesnt mean we cant get it back

yawn...

so are we getting an announcement on who's been hired tomorrow?

Wonder if the pressure cooker of coaching here keeps coaches from considering this place

starting to think its DJ if thats the case

Couldn’t tell if it was chaves or not with how baggy the clothes was but someone I can confirm was picked up from the airport hopefully it was Scotty Bowman
