Can we get rid of this spammer? ^^^^^^^^^

Has it? I seem to remember around 60 guys staying back for summer workouts back in the 'olden days'. That's great if numbers have surpassed that.

Guess you got me there. I have fixed and qualified it accordingly...

Think "old Big 8"... EDIT: ...within the last 100 years...

And The Big Sky Conference told ndsu no when it was a pretty good athletics program.....twice. I'm not saying anything in this thread is imminent....only that things can change....fast.

Got it. Thanks.

Wait, what?...Duluth and Omaha? Which relaxed standards would they have a chance at meeting over UND for affiliate membership? I'm asking an honest question.

"Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous...."

Ahh yes.....yet another thread poisoned with UND fans arguing with each other and bashing 'niche sport college hockey' and 'JV FCS Football'.... Great debate UND "fans". Congrats!

Wrong thread.

I'd say that's pretty damn good for an OLB like Disterhaupt. What was your vertical in college again?...

37" I believe.

Folks.... In related news, womens hockey will not be ticketed next year.

Yeah.... I'm really glad our AD ignored the September 15th, 2015 email....thank gawd....good stuff there.... Hope we see more of that in the future from our leaders.

Miller only noted that Baker sat out last year after transferring in and will be eligible this season. I don't think that means Baker is or isn't going to be here next season. Bringing in Kinsey definitely gives me reason to be concerned about Baker.

Oh c'mon.....you really don't?... It's ok to laugh at yourself from time to time. I do it a lot. Off topic: I golfed Golden Eagle on Saturday!

Even you have to see the irony in this comment, no?...

It also should be noted that the 40 mens participants, mens coaching salaries and 5.5 mens scholarship cut were not taken into consideration for the future. So the numbers in the article are obsolete and UND's already excessive Title IX compliance numbers will increase even more next year.

This is your opinion and in no way a fact of any kind. And I respect that. Myself and many others have respectfully tried to tell you that you dont know that for sure. Provide a source for that and I will stand corrected. Truth is, you could inevitably be right with your guess as to what will or will not happen. There's also a possibility you are wrong and that it is offered to UND to get them into the B1G Hockey Conference. Again, as myself and others have stated, if there's nothing to gain financially or otherwise, then by all means stay in the NCHC.

UND does have to follow Title IX. To what extent is the subjective question? Where are we at now for the 3 prong system? Is it more than we need to be regarding compliance? How do we compare to our regional peer institutions and their compliance figures? Some of these complaints and problems exist because we are exceedingly Title IX compliant when we don't have to be. We will be even more compliant than we already are now after cutting 40 more mens participants and 6 mens scholarships. Could we have/should we have cut a womens sport? This false assumption that we cannot cut a certain womens sport because of Title IX is false and borderline fear mongering. We could allocate all or some of their scholarships and/or participants to the other womens sports and still be laughing about our compliance. This is where the beef lies with the athletics department and their Title IX bullies.

Oh cmon, all I'm saying is that I was unsuccessful finding where it says the B1G "would never offer guaranteed affiliate membership to UND". Maybe you can help us out by showing where you found that. I would be more than happy to read it and then admit you were right.

Can you help me understand how you know this to be true?...

Or is ASU the NCHC replacement for UND when they go to B1G hockey?

And I agree. If we get revenue of some sort and the scheduling we would want, this would be the biggest concession for UND hockey fanbase in a quid pro quo scenario. I'd still point to the BTN here, but your point is valid. However, don't sell short the pride of UND hockey fans to travel to those campuses and venues. The interest in that could grow, just as our interest in games with Miami, SCSU and UNO has.

Good point. However, not that long ago UND fans weren't too excited about Miami, UNO or SCSU either. Even Duluth and maybe Denver have escalated over the last few years.
