star2city Members 4.2k Posted December 12, 2005 Some interesting stats: partipication in men's lacrosse in growing fast, but because of Title IX issues, few DI men's teams have been added. Growth of NCAA College Lacrosse Growth of Lacrosse Puts a Pinch on College Game Because Lacrosse is relatively easy to pick up on, athletic ability, not lacrosse skills, are what's in demand: lacrosse is the fastest-growing game in the U.S. at every level.

great sport...growing sport... why did und ever add hockey in 1946? are you glad they did?

part of my "fenton" plan is getting as many sports under one umbrella...I think at one point we had nchc, wcha, big sky...now we have nchc, summit, and mvfc. trying to get a core of schools together instead of all these alphabet conferences and affilliate schools... kinda like when it was just the ncc and wcha... just summit would be even better.

assuming that other summit schools would add it--6 or 7

i know what you did there....part of my reasoning on women's bowling is can you imagine the beefers ndac would send up here to play us...."up next for ndsu...darlene "the dumptruck" jenkins!" (over the speakers at red ray lanes)

drop tennis

Should UND drop a sport and add men's lacrosse if it was offered by the Summit League (and which sport should/would we drop?)

I and lot of others on here want lacrosse at UND...gonna do another siouxfan97 poll

ten home games at 10 bucks a ticket times 100 fans per...10k...parking, tailgating, concessions....we got this!

its just a red slash...

i don't get it..what is that?

so tennis is not funded?

few more hours of work...can't wait to listen. i wanna hear "summit hockey" "st thomas" "FBS" "lacrosse" "bowling"

ill listen this eve...yeah i'm giving him time...that's the reason i always chirp "where's fenton" on here.....i think he reads my posts and says...that guy is awesome!

in all honesty the reason i don't pay too much attention to women's sports is bc of death of title 9....we will soon only have "soccer" if you know what i mean so only one locker room will be needed.

I know these "ideas" are far fetched but show me one idea/thing that the Summit League has done in the last 10 years or so to try to grow their brand (and don't say the tourney in SF please)! haha

i'll agree with you if they can't find space in REA...likethe women do...field is there

i guess he doesn't miss in warmups!!!!!!!

can't find a few sq feet in the bowels of REA?

"we want hong"

few hundred more than tennis imo

Ok so this is want from Fenton...or bust. Use the promise/plan of FBS Football and NCHC membership to lockup the Summit and bring in some new blood (Missouri State and Northern Iowa). Summit 2.1 UND, NDAC, USD, SDAC, St Thomas, Omaha, KC, Denver, Oral Roberts, Western Illinois, Missouri State, and Northern Iowa Men's Sports Football, Hockey, Basketball, Soccer, Lacrosse, T&F, Cross Country, Baseball, Golf, and Wrestling. FBS Football UND, NDAC, USD, SDAC, St Thomas, Western Illinois, Northern Iowa, and Missouri State Hockey UND, Omaha, Denver, St. Thomas, Northern Iowa, Missouri State...2 or 3 or 4 more affiliates (no Miami) Basketball All 12 Soccer Denver, KC, Omaha, Oral Roberts, St Thomas, Western Illinois---UND... Lacrosse Denver...hope a lot more join including Missouri State (club team) T&F enough already have it CC enough already have it Baseball NDSU, Omaha, Oral Roberts, St Thomas, SDSU, Western Illinois, Missouri State (drop UNC) Golf enough have it (adding in Missouri State and NIU) Wrestling NDAC, SDAC, Northern Iowa, ---get a couple more to add...UND? USD?? Omaha??? Yes, the hardest part would be getting Northern Iowa and Missouri State from the MVC. But FBS Football could be the draw plus an open invitation to D1 hockey (if the facilities are good) could get them to jump (and the MVC is/has been getting raided every few years). Yes, getting Denver to leave Big East Lacrosse would be hard/impossible but Fenton could say...here is the number for the commish of AHA...bye. Yes, getting NDSU, SDSU, and NIU to leave the "Big 12" wrestling conference sounds tough but the real name should be the "Affiliate Conference"...bc only Iowa State, OK State and West Virginia are the only Big 12 schools in the mix...plus with everything going on with the big 12 who knows what their plan is for wrassling...

u make it sound this is earth shattering stuff if it happened...dropping swimming and diving (which needs 3 affiliates) and tennis (which has 2 affiliates) and adding wrestling and lacrosse to the summit mix?

long story short...if fenton doesn't think outside the box we will have spent 20 plus years for the ncc2.1
