It makes total sense to those who can add. If Team A has revenues of 100 and team B has revenues of 20 and Team A spends 80 and Team B spends 40, Team A is not stealing from Team B. I support the football team 100% but they need to do a little lifting as well. I realize it is a bit of a catch 22 situation in that they need money to win and they need to win to bring in more money. If you look at the attendance for the first two games last year which followed the playoff season they were trending well until the season went off the rails. What I don't like is ill informed people speculating that UND is diverting money from football to the hockey program.

It's not "my" math. It is just math. You are dangerously close, although I am guessing it is by accident, to figuring it out....maybe grab a calculator. I am guessing somewhere in one of these threads some idiot speculated that UND hockey was stealing money from UND football. Just because a couple idiots choose to believe that doesn't make it true. The people who make the decisions at UND decided it would be beneficial to the football program for the Ralph to handle ticket sales or it wouldn't have happened.

Wow! I guess it is true what they say. Figures Lie and Liars figure. That is some pretty fuzzy math on display. And by the way, I attend about the same percentage of football games as I do hockey. A total of 291,692 fans attended Hockey and Football games last year when you combine the attendance. 239,692(82%) of those fans were in the seats at The Ralph and 52,129(18%) of those fans were in the seats of The Alerus.

whoa, whoa, whoa...Hold on there. don't bring facts into this.

You are too dumb for words sometimes.

As a cautionary tale to others with bad logos.

Not to pile on, but you left out Cross Country, Golf, and Tennis.

As far as North Dakota producing girls capable of playing a division 1 sport, Hockey currently lags behind Basketball, Volleyball, Softball, and Track. Probably more in line with Gymnastics and Soccer.

And Dave is a UND grad.

Ever notice how people who say right thing to do and right side of history are usually 100% wrong and are just trying to get someone else's money

Maybe our next coaching hire can check 3 or 4 boxes in one hire!

Get lost or just miss your exit?

I don't even know why I respond, but UND's Fighting Sioux logo was nationally recognizable.....in other news we landed on the moon.

Where would one be headed if they are gong through Brookings?

Vermillion, yes. Sioux Falls is a nice city with lots to do. Similar to Fargo. Brookings is like a smaller Grand Forks. Great college town.

As I said before. for me I look at the floor or ice or turf initially when their is a new design and after that I don't really pay attention. As far as the Sioux logo vs. The hawk logo, big difference in recognition there and with the non ice sports the Hawk logo will likely not ever have national recognition just due to us being a small fish in the big NCAA pond in those sports.

Sad, but true. I watched the University of North Dakota Softball team play on ESPN in the NCAA tourney a few days ago.

Seeing the actual layout when finished actually makes me like this even better than the interlocking UND at center court. If we have highlights that make ESPN or National Sports coverage(like Geno breaking some kids ankles) it lets people know who we are right away. Putting the logo at center court would not accomplish that and having the full name "Fighting Hawks" with the logo on the ends also helps with identity. Looks good!

Football ticket sales minus expenses = X Revenue directed toward football program from REA is likely >X and if you have to ask whether a private(or somewhat private) entity is more capable of responsibly handling a budget vs. a government run entity I don't know how to explain it, but in a nutshell one of them has to actually meet a budget and be fiscally responsible and the other one doesn't.

Tear down those statues and change the state nickname

envy is not a good look. I am pretty sure you don't know her personally. It seems she has continued her Father's charitable ways and has helped give away more money to charity than most here will make in a lifetime.

yeah with some guys named Boeser and Carpenter(undrafted)...all had 1 more goal than some guy named Kyle Connor(not sure what happened to him)
