UNDvince97-01

The Ralph is a for-profit business. Why would they want to host WH games and lose money when they could have much larger events that attract thousands from around the region to come to Grand Forks and ultimately have a large impact on the commerce in town? Grand Forks as a business community would benefit more if we didnt have WH.

No. No they would not. Why would they say that?

That's fine. We just disagree. Would have to just wait and see on that I guess. I believe there would be a 3-5 days of potential "backlash" in the media and would then fade away. But from people that matter in the big scheme of things? That I'm not so sure about. From a negative impact on monetary donations standpoint on annual giving or major gifts? Zero to little impact in my opinion. There is no big donor to that program. I don't believe Ralph was ever staunch on having Womens Hockey either. Another assumption as far as I know and can see it. Sue Jeno and.....?

Cant confirm that. Not sure. Could be talent, could be academics.

Maybe the kid has been or still is recruiting UND? Not 100% sure on that. I think if you connect the dots on him though it makes sense that we aren't recruiting him any more. Can things change? Sure. Recruiting is the most fluid part of college football. Just sharing the info I have come across.

We are not in on JaQuere Williams any more. It has been quite a while now actually.

There is zero trend of sexism or bias regarding WH here. Just results and numbers. Those are the trends. Hard for some people to objectively see that.

Right.....you're just being contrarian and bomb throwing again.

Uff seriously? Yeah that's what he meant. He doesn't like Canadians and Europeans. Or womens sports. Jeez. What an off-base, out of context comment. Cmon Cratter.

Despite late FBS offers, Larson is a UND lock.

There was more backlash from baseball than there would ever be for womens hockey. Guaranteed. Way more people cared about baseball being cut. There was a history and a ton of alums who care.

Backlash from who though? Another presumptuous fallacy.

LOL. What? Is this mythical person going to do it on an annual basis for as long as necessary? Old MacDonald doesn't have enough money for that, sorry.

Because he was given bad information, just like Ed Schafer.

I think there's potential that swimming and diving might get a shot in the arm because of the Summit. This is purely conjecture, but who knows if that was a caveat for joining the Summit maybe? Womens soccer is fully funded on schollies (12 I believe) but is a drop in the bucket budget-wise compared to WH. I cant recall the total budgets for soccer and womens S&D combined, but Id imagine WH is more. You probably know my answer.

Understood. But it's so bad in the red with no ROI is my point.

The Ralph loses money on Womens Hockey. They'd be more profitable without it. With our Olympian twin sisters, who are/were great, we didn't even make the final 4 did we? Correct me if I' wrong. That was the peak. There is zero chance of revenue potential. How would you offset 2 million dollars of operating budget when you are bringing in around $20,000 or so in revenues? Title IX is not an issue for cutting womens hockey. Fallacy. It can be done. I promise. Who are these big contributors? There are none. Not even Marvin Windows. Who else?

Our DC Eric Schmidt.

Just want to state this again...

Hence, UND is, has been and always will be the "flagship" university in the state of North Dakota. By most all measures.

The Citadel always seems to play well against SEC competition. They beat South Carolina 2 years ago I believe.

I believe hes going to Maine.

You trying to "one-up" Bison Dan or what? Good job bud. Thumbs up.

Dan, what's it like being................... ....you?

Yes that is correct. I'm aware of the gindorff commitment. He's 40 minutes down the road from me. Then they offered Zeke Ott this week as a TE. Ndsu offered him.
