ccm NIT start this weekend could be some info or movements coming out of that.

this 78 Grad thing has provided zero benefit to this board in any way, and frankly has spurred some really terrible unprovable stuff that frankly we dont need. Maybe time for a vacation.

The next time GF team bounces out and gets sent to Eagles, will be the last time a State tourney game will ever be played at Eagles.

Cut men's basketball or the bigger elephant in the room..... ND doesn't need two D1-jv football teams, especially in this new NIL era. Why invest in nothing but feeder programs for the bigger schools?

Bingo

Rumors guesses rumors.... lot of sticks being added to the fire but little facts it seems also need to remember the timeframe of the coaching tenure, the years of uncertainty and changes in how business was conducted during the covid behavioral manipulation era, certainly had similar changes and adaptations in the coaching recruiting world..... could it be that selective memory is going into these general assumptions? Who knows, id love to say just move on but it is important to learn from the past.

Thats a heck of an irresponsible "IF", I kind of view the behavior of dropping these "IF" accusations on a rumor as just as pathetic as the social media posts of the daughter.

The daughters behavior and attitudes displayed on social media are reprehensible, comes of as entitled rich girl wanna be and frankly is everything I don't want associated with UND. In all the years I have never experienced any attitude or entitlement from Brad in the community or in interactions, makes you wonder how or where the behaviors were learned. Disgusting. Embarrassing.

What they have here at UND far exceeds the levels due or value the program brings to the University. Complete waste of resources that could be better served by an additional parking lot for the REA.

At least 4 heads at NDHSAA literally would explode at even hearing the concept..... after they looked up the word "hockey" in the dictionary, to find out what it was.

Absolutely did not, and unless it's just a pile of cash, I can't for the life of me figure out why, but hats off to him for giving it a go. Now comes the MOST DIFFICULT thing for a hockey organization to do, shutting the EFF up about they way "they did it back in the day" and listening to the Director they felt the need to hire.

The numbers at the youth level exiting bantams and into these programs seem to indicate a "holding serve" level of participation going into next season, with a possibility for some of them to be more competitive regionally. Most are going to be in the net (-2/+2) player participation unless something drastic changes. In comparison to the declining numbers of some of the traditional "big city" programs due largely to demographic shifts. i.e South as discussed, but also in Bismarck with Bismarck High/St. Mary's and to a degree Century going into the next year or two as well..... and also like the Fargo Davies projections... large numbers at Legacy High. Combined numbers would be similar if not less than the Fargo North-South numbers it appears, with the major differences both Bis programs have goalie stables as opposed to the South situation, but the similarities are interesting. Fargo at least appears to be taking a balanced approach to the issue of participation vs competativeness Bismarck has unwaveringly sided on the opportunity side... .....and then there's Minot who has spinelessly caved to the competitive faction and invented numbers fuzzier than moldy bread to justify the capitulation.

It was a good article, it also point out the assumption of the numbers of sophomores, indicating 10 of the 15 could potentially still play bantams. If that was the case, and also acknowledging the Jr gold option in Fargo, a Co-op is much more likely of a resolution for a period of time.

Fargo North - South Boys hockey... I thought this was a kinda no brainer but the numbers in this article point to a tougher decision... https://www.inforum.com/sports/prep/potential-boys-hockey-co-op-between-fargo-north-fargo-south-weighed?fbclid=IwY2xjawJtz8lleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHvAF8IXoBgOj9PATpXocfvsWiRHG8qXZeUBDGem22c_VAI8jCXSH4lQ499qu_aem_JHt40_6b1IQYSrgAVTsfwA
