    They aren't because everyone decided long ago that it was going to be UND/Mark Kennedy. But they didn't put up the resistance that people claimed they would. I think we're all essentially on the same page. The REA didn't come up with the idea but they didn't have much of a reason to be opposed to it and there were benefits in it happening for them. There are upsides to unfortunate decisions but numbers are what they are. Correct. The agreement between UND and the REA is based on ticket sales. If UND is using less resources at the REA and giving them some significant weekends availability to make more revenue, than the conversation about UND keeping a larger portion of the ticket sales becomes much more palatable for both sides.

    The bigger dispute was that the REA wanted the vacated space for their own use, while UND rightfully insisted they needed to retain it to upgrade a women's sport facilities (soccer) to prevent Title IX issues.

    Note exactly going out on a limb on this but: Kennedy will go down for his interview and within a few days put out a release that states "after careful consideration, he has decided to withdraw his name as the job isn't a good fit and he wants to continue with the momentum and great things that are happening at UND".

    Build on it. Could have easily let that one get away.

    If they asked him to apply, which appears to be the case, I don't think they'd hold leaving UND after 20 months again him.

    Geno should shoot 30 times a game. Not sure what his hesitation is this year, doesn't seem to have the killer instinct he showed in the past.

    Looks like having an actual identity to get behind and market can be beneficial. Who would have thought? UND named Learfield's 2017-18 Property of the Year

    He moved quicker than Kelley did on the nickname, no wonder he's in high demand.

    UCF publicly releasing the names of their 8 semi-finalists and Kennedy having to put out an announcement is also a great example of why ND took a positive step and changed the law so that only the top 3 finalists have to be publicly released for certain positions.

    There's a big difference between him actively looking for a new a job and a search firm reaching out, asking him to apply and him accepting that invitation. It sounds like it was the latter and I think he'd be crazy not too look at it if approached. The outgoing president, who had been there 26 years, was making over $500K/year. The fact that he made the top 8 says a lot about what the perception of him is. Kennedy had no choice but to send out an announcement as the 8 semifinalists were publicly announced today and it looks like he has pretty decent company on the finalist list:

    Well, she winked at someone, not sure I blame her either.

    Was not an ideal move: But the explanation might be worse. That move might work against half of the 8 teams in the tournament but Canada is definitely not one of them.

    Here's all the Olympic connections listed by UND: Philip K. Johnson, team doctor, USA Hockey Jason Switzer, athletic trainer, U.S. Ski and Snowboarding Team Joe Polo, athlete, USA Curling Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, athlete, USA Hockey Monique Lamoureux-Morando, athlete, USA Hockey Andy Parr, production engineer, NBC Sports Ludvig Hoff, athlete, Norway Men’s Hockey Chay Genoway , athlete, Hockey Canada Michelle Karvinen, athlete, Finland Women’s Hockey Emma Nuutinen, athlete, Finland Women’s Hockey Susana Tapani, Finland Women’s Hockey Johanna Fallman, Sweden Women’s Hockey

    There was that one time they tied for 2nd in the WCHA though!
  16. jdub27
    I get the point, but the whole argument to keep the team seemed to be centered around the fact that there were Olympians on it. It definitely wasn't centered on results, revenues or costs.
  17. jdub27
    Assuming it would be allowed (which I don't believe it would be), probably not great since their home attendance was between 500-1,500.
  18. jdub27
    To a point, no, they don't. But the time/money/effort spent on the nickname battle was a not a net positive for the University in anyway. Those resources can finally but put to better use and the University is working/has moved forward with a common identity to help with branding and marketing for both athletics and the University as a whole.

    If Brian Jones had 1/3 of the resources the hockey program had, this might be a better comparison. Instead, the basketball team has one of the lowest budgets in the nation, not highest. It is what it is.

    I'm still laughing about this two days later and how there are some people that are now very conflicted (or at least should be).
  21. jdub27
    Oops.

    They are dumpster fire with no relief in sight and I don't use that lightly. They drew a whopping 399 fans (announced attendance, not actual) for a game last week, though somehow claimed almost 1,000 more than that for their next game 2 days later. Their 5 D1 wins are over teams with the follwing RPI's (out of 349): 346, 286, 327, 302, 314. Zero chance they buy their coach out of the last year of her contract, so it will be at least one season of terrible basketball in Fargo. Can't imagine they'd extend her, time will tell how long it will take a new coach to fix the mess two bad hires have made. I don't think recruiting has gone all that well but it doesn't seem like it takes a ton of time to see big improvements in WBB.

    Is he getting a scholarship? Might explain the strange timing on the signing. Possibly 4 for 5 type situation unless something opens up.
  24. jdub27
    I think he thought the defender would actually, I don't know, defend? There's no reason that guy should have even got a shot off. There is literally nothing more delaying that fighting back to tie it up and then giving up a goal the next shift. That needs to stop. Flat out must win tonight. Team still controls their own destiny, but running out of time.

    Listen to the players talk sometime. If you don't think Berry was the main recruiter or heavily involved in a lot of them, pull your head out of the sand. Not saying Hak wasn't involved but giving Berry no credit is ridiculous. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/3747389-und-mens-hockey-brad-berry-takes-reins
