Ask (recently released from NDSU WBB and daughter of an all-time great NDSU player) Sarah Jacobson that question.
She, unprompted, in a chat with Jack Michaels, brought up 'resources' being applied (or not) to NDSU WBB. There's a link somewhere in the Summit WBB thread.
NDSU doesn’t care about WBB especially after Amy Ruley left. It’s football and only football at the cow palace. Kinda sounds familiar at another school.

Budget cuts absolutely do and should matter to people. It was a tough situation and I'm sure everyone has opinions on a "better way" they could have been done.
People see the governor cutting budgets for all universities and colleges but what makes people mad is seeing how NDSU handled it without cutting athletics compared to UND axing sport after sport even though UND had more sports than NDSU especially one costing millions of dollars without a huge crowd or a lot of revenue.

Kennedy needs to go for many reasons but not for threats from a donor.
he will keep doing stupid things and leave on his own, maybe take a job in Florida
I agree. I think he needs to resign on what has happened recently, but for KEM to come out and say they are withholding funds to the primary user of “her” arena is not the way to go about it. 2030 when UND takes over the arena is she going to go out with pride or while kicking and screaming the whole way out.

In 1994 a Central team that had two Panzers and O'Connell on it (all 4 year UND players) lost to Fargo South in the title game when the South goalie stood on his head. Anything is possible but it seems unlikely that anyone comes with 4-5 goals of Central because overall, the level of hockey has declined in ND. Back then the RR's, GPR, and South's were always a threat.....not so much now.
Don’t mention that game. We had a great team that year and should have won the title. I still hate Fargo South to this day.

I think it’s time for Kennedy to move on. We are starting to fix the money problems and then he does this.

It appears we have more special teams type talent and depth for 2019. Not only multiple kickers and punters, but the jimmies and the joes running down the field. That alone will make us better.
Our kicking especially on kickoffs were atrocious, the ball never got close to the end zone, so I’m glad to hear we got more depth.

No question. When I played for a certain coach at Central back in the late 80's/early 90's, he said some stuff to us in the locker room and on the ice that would make your head spin. We never thought anything of it. Sadly, most of us would bust up laughing as soon as he left the room. It's just not like that anymore. It goes beyond "knowing your audience."
Was it Chuck Ness?

Any idea where it’s at now?

That must have sent a message to Wyoming. NDSUs subsequent victories at Kansas, KSU, Colorado, Iowa State and Iowa were helpful in reminding Wyoming fans their win over NDSU was impressive. It was a big win for the Cowboys. They brag about it to this day.
PS. Ferris State is a respected D1 hockey school. Sioux Falls College is not.
First you never played Colorado it was Colorado State. Second you lost to Wyoming in 2008 where the Bison went 6-5 so no one at Wyoming is talking about a meaningless game 11 years ago. And third yes we lost to the U of Sioux Falls, just like SDSU lost to DIII Wisconsin-Lacrosse, but go ahead and talk them up while bashing us.

So what you're saying is that getting a win over Wyoming is nothing special because it is easy to do?
Cowboys finished 4-8 just in case he pumps his chest about playing a tough MWC team, kind of like how they played a tough DII Ferris State team while being DI.

No. Their wins were in the Big 10. A bigger deal than Wyo for sure even though it was the Gophers. The Dakota Big 3, as you call them, all beat the Gophers. The Bison beat them several times. Of course NDSUs FBS win streak is unparalleled in FCS history Their wins are impressive indeed.
Those of you that agree UND is not going FBS have a good grasp of reality. They arent and they won’t. As I said it’s more likely to go non scholarship or drop the sport. As Omaha has found out the hockey and BB teams get better when football is dropped.
Wrong!! SDSU never beat a Big 10 team, their lone FBS win was in 2015 vs Kansas. And before you pump up Kansas, they finished 2015 0-12.

Ummmm better product = better recruits/players ... those recruits/players want bells and whistles(something nicer) for them to come.. unfortunately building something comes first then the REALLY good recruits follow and we start winning those recruiting battles .. IMO
New stadiums/arenas don’t always equal a better product. Like UND 1983 said the SHAC, I would say Target Field, and the Xcel Energy Center. Our football team got better in a stadium built in 1929, our hockey team won 5 national titles in a building built in the 70’s. We have a fine basketball arena, that is hardly the problem with both the men’s and women’s team.

How about Elizabeth Warren on the UND side of the wampum and of course tHe iconic Buffalo on the other?
Why, she has nothing to do with us being the North Dakota Fighting Hawks. How about a Hawk on one side and Buffalo sh*t on the other.

A crazed Bison fan whom I have debated on many different forums over the years. Definitely one of my toughest opponents.
He was big into the Dakota 3 talk, which like him has disappeared.

Lol. OK. Except the new NCHC was started after the big ten got sick of the Augies in their league. They separated themselves from the D2s. I guess they didn’t consider those endowment numbers that places UND firmly in the lower echelons with Idaho After Denver which has 711 million, 3 times UNDs size, there wasn’t one hockey school except UND. Denver has no football.
None of the schools listed with endowments the size of UNDs has a full slate of D1 sports including hockey, FBS football and basketball. None of the schools are FBS. Idaho gave it run And failed. Idaho doesn’t have hockey.
When it comes to football obviously “The AC” is by far the best on that list. They don’t have to fund hockey which makes any FBS invite they may receive easier to contemplate but still out of reach today.
Before moving into the FCS WAC or inviting yourselves into the MAC seriously consider the OOC schedule. Who is going to come to the Alerus? How much can you pay them? Besides all the schools in the “new” conferences are FCS now. Why not just play those same schools in this division? The idea they are going to form some type of FBS conference begs the question why?
After 10 years and the big win a narrow victory over lowly Wyoming a few years ago and on the wrong end of blowouts galore from all levels what are the realistic chances of success for UND in the FBS? How successful have they been to date?
There aren’t enough resources and UND isn’t compelling enough now to recruit successfully and hire top notch coaches that can be successful in the FCS.
None of this FBS talk makes much sense or has a realistic purpose especially considering the weakness of the UND business model. It couldn’t handle the costs of the Big Sky.
A lot of schools UNDs budget size that have hockey don’t have football at all. Most of the others are in D2. Money is the reason and UND has the same costs or more because of travel.
One of the MVFC schools may get an FBS invite of some kind someday but they aren’t going to change the entire landscape of college athletics to make it happen.
I stand by my original claim: UND is more likely to play non scholarship football or move back to D2 than move to the FBS.
Do you compare our FBS win to say that of SDSU or USD who have just one FBS win? Also who says we are going to the FBS, no one on this board has said we are going to FBS any time soon except SiouxVolley. We are far from that. If you want to talk about your team going to the FBS take it to Bisonville. Also if you think we are going to the PFL or the NSIC you had one too many bad Bison burgers.
