Then why review committee?

Point is what's UND's excuse going to be when they do DI? We're doing just fine in DI, it's you that are having a hard time with it and being dii.

I don't remember the consultants saying don't go DI. Must be UND logic. What are you going to say when UND decides to go DI under the same circumstances as NDSU and SDSU. All UND would have done then is be 5 or more years behind. Great leadership!

Help me out, but didn't NDSU win the all sports ncc title their final year.

It's still a minor DI sport that few people follow, but hey if you think the world of sports revolve around hockey - great. Like when they canceled the NHL last year, did anyone notice? Most people don't care.

Poor pcm - if it was all about DI championships we start a hockey team. With only 13 true DI schools that play the sport it would be by far the easiest to win a NC.

Your forgetting about the recruiting in the last 3 years. Hey think what you want but until UND goes out and schedules some DI-AA teams it's only speculation.

Actually not true - back in 2003 we could have played the Griz 10 times and won maybe 2 times. Anything can happen in a one game deal. The Griz made the playoffs that year but lost in the first round at home. (and the Griz don't lose at home often) You can speculate all you want about how UND would do in DI-AA but that's all you can do. It seems like most UND fans use the NDSU game with the Griz as a measuring stick - well it's a short stick. Fact is DI-AA has better skill players and more speed than dii. Can a quality dii team beat a top 20 DI-AA team - sure in a one game series but game in and game out they will lose more than win.

Why?

If the ncc is looking at DI now why didn't they go a few years ago when NDSU and SDSU asked them to? What has changed?

Lets face it - 90% of siouxsport.com is hockey.

What will be more interesting will be if UND jumps to DI while running a deficit in dii.

I have no doubt that for the first couple of years we'll have some shortfall. Team Makers has already doubled their support to 1.4 million this year with 1.32 already in the bank. The support and money will be there. I think the money would be there for UND too, but womens hockey does put a large hole in the budget.

The Bison have had better over all sports programs than the sue for years. You pick fb which you have had good success in the last few years as making your point? When you move up, you move up in ALL sports, and the sue are surely lacking in some of their other sports (even for dii).

Bailed out of dii because it's going down hill, just like UND will do eventually.

Jealousy is a funny thing, it makes people say stupid things.

Oh have you been by the Tech park lately. The foundation is in and steel is going up. You need to take the blinders off sometime sicatoka!

Drove by the other day and didn't see any work being done. They have been breaking for over a year now - what's up? Are they going to do it and just talk?

I think that this year there will be a 3.00 charge for parking.
