    Great first post. Calling for a QB change after the first half of the season in a 7-7 game.

    Especially in Grand Forks in November. Although most people would use the word cold.

    Yes they will provide all of the production stuff. They also will produce a weekly NDSU sports show. I don't believe it will be a basketball specific show as that's only four games worth of content each week at the most. They'll pull in football highlights and some other winter sports once the football team is done playing for the year on November 19th

    The increased costs associated with adding the AppleTV and Roku apps that many people requested.

    Cue Darrel's "I'm just moving coach discussions into one spot" Fire Pryor thread.

    I'll preface this... I in no way want football cut. I don't think women's hockey should be cut, but I won't be surprised if it is. However, if we're looking at financials, Women's hockey isn't the worst program to keep around. When was the last time football was in the black? Are another 3,000 people a game going to cover the 2.5 million dollar deficit each year? And since none of these sports are in a vacuum thanks to Title 9, you also have to add in the women's sports that must counter-act the 63 scholarships football gives out. That's 126 (Great math, right?) total scholarships just because of football. Cut football and you save at least three times the amount cutting women's hockey would.

    But UND football is allowed to lose even more until they bring in more than 10,000 fans a game? Maybe at that point, season tickets will sell for more than $90.

    I don't really see any bias in the article. Yes, he supports hockey as that's what he covers the most. However, are any of his statements untrue? The big paragraph is actually pretty factual. There's no doubt some of this will happen if it isn't already: There already are people saying WHockey holds basketball and volleyball back. There's probably more saying it's still holding football back too.

    Think how good men's basketball would be if we cut both.

    Where does Air Force stick their sports now that they're going to be a finalist for a FB-only spot in the Big12? After turning the B12 down five years ago, it's looking like they'll be headed there. Does that open the door for AF to the BigSky as a travel partner for UNC? Summit with Denver as a travel partner? Where does that leave UND?

    You also must not have read the article because even Schlossman didn't say that. But look at this... I just had to go back a few pages and a few people were advocating moving the WH budget to the football or basketball programs:

    We had both in the early 2000's when I was a student and it was great. I don't want to start a hockey vs football thread as I attend games for both teams despite living 1,000 miles away but with the current setup neither program is going to bring the national recognition. NDSU has won five straight FCS titles and ESPN still ignores them on a consistent basis. I think it comes down to who brings in the most money to help fund the other sports in the athletic department. Hockey may have hit its max but it still seems like it is bigger than football ever will be as far as funding.

    Be honest. "Addressing" the elephant in the room isn't what you want. Just use the word cut. I'd imagine you'll be sadly disappointed if the committee comes out and says "We addressed women's hockey and decided it's going to stay." You had me up until the bolded portion. At many schools, this is true but right now that's not the case at UND. And as long as hockey sells out an 11,000 seat arena double-digit times a year while football attempts to fill a 12,000 seat stadium 6-9 times a year that will continue to be the case.

    You only have about 15 seconds MAX to play a song as it has to be down when the opposing team breaks the huddle. If they don't huddle, then you have about 5-10 seconds worth of song to play. It has to be impactful in the first few seconds or it won't work.

    You realize the football team also gets FCOA? That expense is significantly higher than "paying the hockey team."
  16. southpaw
    That is something the NCHC pushed aggressively during negotiations on extending the CBSSN contract.
  17. southpaw
    Currently, the NCHC collects money from each of the schools to pay for the costs of the refs. That is something the NCHC wants to eventually take in-house so it's less of a burden on the schools. I'd imagine the money would go towards that. Additionally, there is the potential to create a new full-time position that focuses on marketing and sales. That would allow Fenton to add some new projects instead of being so focused on negotiation those contracts himself.

    Your knowledge of Schlossman's knowledge outside of hockey is extremely limited.
  19. southpaw
    I feel bad for everyone but SiouxVolley and Cratter. If only the rest of us could be more enlightened like these two. We should feel honored they're lowering themselves to our level to give us these facts.

    Technically the gap in this picture is green. That's the tough part of this design.

    Looking for four lower-bowl tickets for the Friday/Saturday series January 20 & 21st. My girlfriend and one of my friends will be joining me and a friend for their first trip to the Ralph and good 'ol Grand Forks.

    What will he accomplish by December 31st? Does a solid OOC record really mean that much? UND's only chance to be legit this year is to win the BigSky tournament, which unfortunately doesn't start before December 31st.
  23. southpaw
    Agreed, let's cut all sports and positions started after 2004. Goodbye women's hockey. See you later Matt Schill, the digital content director, we don't need no stinking highlights, UND Insider or Through These Doors. Plus several other important positions. What's that? We were able to increase pay after the oil boom? Get those raises out of here. Time to go back to salary levels of 2004.

    It's a university-wide rebrand. Outside of the Midwest more people recognize the name Omaha vs UNO.

    So you have a lot of dislike for the interim president because of the logo but none towards the new president? Plan executed perfectly.
