  1. yep...too many games. nice idea but waaay too many games.
  2. True...but if the Summit League waits too long to figure out that a 5 day tourney in Sioux Falls, SD isn't the greatest way to crowning a post season champ the commish might have the Presidents of Augie and SCSU on lines 2 and 3...just saying.
  3. i'll take 2k in a 3k arena versus 4k in a 12 or 15k arena any day
  4. The men drew 30k not 40k So you are using REGULAR season attendance figures (didn't look em up but how many of those games were on a Thursday eve?) instead of factoring in POST SEASON loser go home games on the weekend? So even if you halve my numbers across the board you would still get .....30K
  5. like it...but need more beef!
  6. probably a good question for schloss about NIL but it's here and we have a hard time coming up with corporate money already for our "other" sports.... we seem to be losing good recruits for other schools in the last couple of years so i do wonder if money is one of them?
  7. me too but nothing about him really impressed me...seemed to play in slow motion but maybe coming off an injurty that is to be expected. will be interesting to see where he ends up?
  8. lives in fisher, mn then?
  9. yes...the NIL is a huuuuge problem for UND last year, this year, and going forward unless Kris is gonna setup a NIL Group...rydell's and the shake shack on 32nd can only give so much to UND athletics...now they have to pay the hockey players more than Michigan and Ohio State can/could? big problem for UND took a few years but big10 hockey is on the upswing...top 2 and 4 of top 11 playing in front of 500 people at a neutral site in pouskiskee is small time.... yes denver could win it this year but minny has sooooo much skill........but does humpty dumpty get them over the wall this year...i think he might.
  10. still waiting for your estimates? come on...
  11. but (hehe) with my numbers it looks like they could draw 40-60k just for the men's if it was moved on campus (especially if fargo, und, oral roberts and usd/sdsu used larger venues like the fargodome, rea, BOK arena or the denny... plus instead of one big sponsor (sanford)...each on campus site would have their own...fargo-gate city? gf-altru usd/sdsu-sanford vermillion-donny's burger shack? oral roberts-Williams Companies ....maybe that makes more money for the sumitt than just one big one (and of course smaller ones too) in sioux falls.
  12. NIL changed everything....UND can't simply afford to say to a recruti.." hey we're big bad UND". It's not 1999 anymore... I would much rather have Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State come to REA than St Cloud tech and omaha and cc...call me weird. Unlike the NCHC the Big10 quickly reversed course and brought their post season to campus instead of playing in front of 500 people in Joe Louis Arena.... Did you watch the Minny Michigan game....those two teams are light years ahead of us and alot of the other ncha teams....
  13. do we still have a sign that says "speed kills" in the tunnel? if not we need one
  14. i'd rather send a letter to the commish of the big10 stating why UND needs affiliate membership....
  15. that's the problem...summit loses oral roberts and or kc we get augie and scsu and then we have the ncc2.1 and then you gotta wonder what these last 20 years were for if that happens (hence my mean d2 reference bc there are a lot of und fans that still are pissed that Morningside doesn't come here anymore)
  16. what is he/she (at scsu you never know) waiting for ffs... https://tommiesports.com/feature/lee-and-penny-anderson-arena
  17. that would only happen if the top seed hosted a two game tourney...the big 10 model guarantees a host team in the semi's and finals...if minny lost to msu then the highest remaining seed between osu, mich, and mich state would've hosted the championship game and it would've been packed to the roof (especailly if it was michigan v michigan state at yost)
  18. assuming the und drives to duluth and scsu? fly the rest? would western drive to miami and fly everywhere else?
  19. pluses and minuses to everything...since they could be anywhere depnding on who wins and which school...but it gives you more opportunities to go if you want (all of them too if you want) have you voted yet?
  20. im ok with that...only problem is if the home team loses the semi...you get a lot of empty seats for the championship (maybe)...the big 10 assures you of a full house...semi's between ohio state and michigan and minny v msu...if minny would lose that game the highest remaining seed would host (and a sellout!) the tourney championship..on campus!
  21. is this using numbers instead of names a new thing? i'm here alot and kinda know numbers but it's confusing?
  22. what's sad about that is they would probably get the nod over Bemidji even with BSU's long history in men's hockey.....location...location...location
  23. would you be in favor of the top two seeds in he nchc getting first round byes so they don't have to play a best of 3? or is the revenue worth it? or is a little weekend rest good for the 2 teams? only the top seed (minny) got a bye bc of the odd amount of teams in the big10
  24. it's an olympic sports thing (basketball mostly)...kind of a relic of d2 days
