I think they cut tennis to fund hockey, football, mbb, and wbb in that order.

UND football has a number of players from lower conferences and divisions who excelled but did nothing in a higher level.

That's a weird response, but when you're a mindreader I suppose you can assume whatever you want. I posted about gas prices in north Fargo and the factual reason they're higher. Others felt it was political. If rising gas prices affecting the GF economy is political, then you must believe it's because of politicians that the gas prices are high. But, literally everything about the GF economy boils down to political decisions.

One sport in a few conferences vs all sports at every university.

I see this as the start of a shift towards club teams not affiliated with universities, much like the rest of the world does it. There are multiple downsides, including the ability to attract students who normally wouldn't attend UND, attracting international students who bring their experience to the classroom, universities now become a sports minor league that also offers education.

Clearly, it's a very fine line. Actions by the US government has led to skyrocketing gas prices affecting the theme of this thread. Actions by the US government has caused confusion amongst universities affecting the theme of other threads.

I'm not your buddy, pal. Is it politics that gas prices are high and there are ships not bringing oil to the rest of the world? If so, then everything is politics. Tennis getting cut is politics, UAV projects with UND are politics, UND funding is politics.

UND men's basketball has around a $100,000 a year budget for paying players, 10% of ORU and STU. With UND opting in, they can directly use part of the savings to get and retain players in revenue sports.

Just filled up in north Fargo for $3.89. That's up 45 cents from last Thursday. Lots of empty ships sitting in the gulf and even more on the way, but no end in sight of the self-induced skyrocketing prices.

He has a history that the NHL clubs operating AHL teams don't really tolerate. Add in that he's sucked in any AHL games he's played and he'll never get higher than the ECHL. He could have gone to Europe for more money but again, he's got a reputation that other teams don't want to bring in.

Really informative quote from Hutter Coach Hutter on Jacobson: "We're really excited to have Mia joining the Fighting Hawk family. We think Mia will add great value to our team both on and off the floor. I think our fans are going to be very excited to see her skill and athleticism when they see her play

Not to rain on the parade, but I wouldn't plan on the Ruck twins coming to UND. There wasn't much chatter between them and UND a month ago

For UND it seems to be...

Pull up the championship game highlights on YouTube. Go grab a few bottles of alcohol and take a shot for every time Bucci yells "shot." https://youtu.be/22q5YYSi4bE?si=tTVVNGGrINAKV6Zo

If McKenna is smart, he'd put his name in for the transfer portal to keep his options open for next year. He of course could always go back to Penn St, but his drafting team may want him to go to a different school and the only way he could do that is if he enters the portal as soon as it opens.

Zellers turns 20 tomorrow. In net, I'd think Kotai,Hrabel, and Hicks are the top 3.

Clearly addressing one of the most important issues affecting the country. Lawsuits and rulings from courts that give athletes compensation and the ability to choose where they attend school and play have helped to balance the field in terms of hindering the NCAAs monopolistic tendencies. There will be a lawsuit filed in a favorable district about 30 seconds after an EO is issued. I'd imagine there will be a stay until it gets fast-tracked to the supreme court who will initially decide on the shadow docket... and we've all seen how that goes. So, add college athletes to the growing list of groups who now have less choice.

All returning All Americans not eligible for the World Jrs are automatically invited so we'll see in a couple weeks who ends up on that list. I'd imagine both Plantes will be there. Depending on who sticks around, I could see UND having Zellers and Emery. If Liver comes back, he's guaranteed. Outside chances for Spunar, Josephson, and Kernan depending on who the coach is. Would love to see Jax get a chance to coach the team and bring a few more UND guys.

What could go wrong? You've got a coach with a sub-.500 record vs D1 schools on board for another 3 years before he gets another 3 year extension for not being the worst team in the league.

I assume it's 3 points for the semis and 4 points for the final? If so - then I still have a chance to tie for the win. Let's all pray that I don't...

Did you wear it in Tampa in 2016? If you were there and wore something else, you need to bring whatever you wore that year. If you weren't there, you're not allowed to go to Vegas. Those are the rules...

There was a German kid that was being highly recruited but re-signed with his club on a professional deal for next season
