UNDvince97-01

Ok. We are not recruiting him though.

Casey Bradley and Craig Bohl are polar opposites as human beings. That's no contest, Gus is a great guy.

Hopefully geography comes into play for McDonald and having 7 BSC schools within 1000 miles of Delta. Shorter trips for his family members on road games in comparison to Maine and Buffalo.

I guess we disagree.

Here's the link and full blog post to where that info came from: http://siouxfb.areavoices.com/2016/12/13/the-fcs-coaching-salary-market/

Im an idiot. Sorry disregard. Stopped reading. My bad.

Meh...Cole is overrated. Just awesome stuff.

No way....you were wrong?....on siouxsports?....get outta here!!

Gawd for dumb. This thread does NOT make SiouxSports.com great again.

In due time, you're gonna look like 1 of the 2 following the 2012 election... Nate Silver... or... Dick Morris.

Attendance numbers may indeed be similar. But what are the expense and budget numbers for UND Womens Hockey? Whats the ROI? Whats the potential of the program? It peaked with the Lamoureaux girls in my opinion. UND stopped ticketing for womens hockey games. However, I'm not sure what they do for volleyball.

Sorry I'm late to the party on this one, my apologies. Court? Screenshot? Help me out please?

Just off the top of my head, Drake and Valpo and the Pioneer League in general. However, I'm not sure of anyone else outside of that. Northeast, Patriot, MEAC, Southern?

Here's where the biggest frustration lies... Put any of us dummies discussing this thread in a room together for a week and we can resolve it......EASILY....for the betterment of the UND Athletics Department for the long-term by eliminating womens hockey and reallocating resources etc... We can all agree on that. But UND sits there and hides behind Title IX publicly. Essentially we are being lied to. It's an absolute failure in vision and leadership yet again.

I just asked the question so I understood your intent based on your history on the topic here. Thanks for clarifying. It would be "more expensive to tier" in another sport long term? Help me out as I cannot think of another womens sport more expensive than womens hockey.

60 division 1 mens ice hockey programs in the NCAA. 35 division 1 womens ice hockey programs in the NCAA. AMAZINGLY......25 institutions are way out of whack with their Title IX compliance. Or they are much more smarter than us.... Or they choose to be compliant in other ways.

Yet another myth.

Just so I'm clear on the intent of your message, are you citing as fact, that UND legally was not capable to cut womens hockey because of Title IX compliance? No way around it?

There's a lot to both. To the first point about the potential of womens hockey: It is my opinion that has already been proven. We have since ceased ticketing for home games for womens hockey. I think that speaks volumes about the general program interest and financial potential. The peak has come and gone. To the 2nd point: No you will ever read or see anyone from REA publicly state that on the record. But it's true. Just have to take it at face value I guess. From a business standpoint, there is no incentive for the REA to house, staff and administer that program. It is a black hole for them - and that is fact. Again, womens hockey expense is north of 2 million on an annual basis (everyone can just ignore the "cooked books" number of 1.4 like myself and others here have always said). The fear-mongering fallacy of Title IX compliance being the sole purpose and reason why we cannot cut womens hockey obviously has won out. Congrats to Daniella Irle and Sue Jeno. It could have (fact) and should have (opinion) been cut, but it wasn't.

I 100% agree and said the same thing prior to the UND-Poly game. SDSU was awful on the perimeter with technique, assignment and pursuit angle. Specifically their corners just sat there and stayed blocked and didn't restrict the alley at all. Terrible D against the option that day by SDSU. They are better than that.

Am I the only one who is fascinated/amazed/amused/shocked by the fact that Faison appears to have avoided any public criticism by the media for any of this? Both for Schafer and Kennedy? Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, IAC included, is impressed with his "leadership" on any of this. How is this possible? This is HIS mess as much as it is anyone else's, from many different angles. I saw a quote from the SWA in Schlossman's article, but nothing from the AD. Was he out of the country? Might as well be. Why isn't the AD held accountable by the Herald and otherwise in the media? I do not understand it.

So they couldn't go 8-3, 7-4 or even 6-5 (WIU) with all the 'quality losses'... Got it.

In one word...No.
