I'd be worried, but it's an article about college womens hockey. How many people are actually going to read it. Not meaning to be a slam on the womens hockey program, but its reality.

So what you're saying is someone needs to have an "accident" at Memorial Stadium. I'll get Paully and Fat Tony to check it out!

The answer is nobody. I guess someone can prove me wrong, but I don't think there is any college football stadium in the country that has a hotel, 3+ restaurants/bars, and a waterpark all attached?!!

With all the Title IX talk, You would think that someone would maybe look into how NDSU is doing with their compliance!

Why would they do that? The NCAA has no beef with NHL franchises with NA imagery or nicknames.

You mean like the Grand Forks Central "Maroon and Gray"

It wasn't directed at you. Just giving my opinion on a new football stadium happening at UND. Agreed. Nothing will happen in the new future. Unless we get a big donor, I don't see it happening ever in my opinion. When you have a stadium that has worked now for 15+ years and is only just as old, there is not really a lot of urgency to move out and build a new one.

A new on campus stadium was a long shot 3 years ago before all of these budget issues. If you think that building a 100+ million dollar stadium is a priority for UND right now, you are insane!!

Lunchtime drinking game: Every time theses words are mentioned: little girls dreams - 1 drink Olympians - 2 drinks #neverendthefight - 2 drinks Title IV - 2 drinks Lamoureaux - 3 drinks 1.9 Million dollar cost - Finish the case (should be safe here)

Yes the way the players found out that the program was being cut would have been handled a lot better. They could have notified them right away in the morning, made a statement, and then say there would be a press conference later in the day. That being said, it doesn't change the fact that the program will still be cut. Sure it was a crappy way to find out. But that's life sometimes. It's not always fair. Everything in your life doesn't always go according to plan and happen they way they should. Welcome to the real world.

You're right!! Why didn't anyone else think of that!! I think you are on too something!!

Horizon schools adding D1 hockey? Never gonna happen. UND getting an invite to join the Horizon League? Never gonna happen.

Seriously guys, take your lovers quarrel to PM!!

Can you imagine instead of Jones bringing in recruits and taking them to a packed out Ralph for a hockey game, he brings them to a packed out Ralph for a UND basketball game against NDSU?!! Much more effective!

The Lammy twins are big girls. I think they can take some criticism. I doubt they read this message board, so you can be rest assured that their feelings are't being hurt.

Right. But that was back in October. When UND announced that they were moving to the Summit/MVFC, that changed everything. Meaning that sports previously stated that were off the table (including womens hockey) would be vulnerable again. I guess I figured since people on message boards could see that womens hockey was vulnerable, I assumed that the head coach of the program could see it as well. My bad to assume that.

They will cut mens hockey at UND before Schloss admits that womens hockey wasn't propular at UND.

I don't know ho USA hockey is going to do this. Potentially you could have a team with both NHL guys that have been in the league for years playing with 19-20 year old kids who are jsut a couple years removed from high school or juniors!! Will definitely be an interesting dynamic!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4245071-womens-hockey-cut-mishandled-students-say Anthony Rice, a UND freshman, said he understood the university’s budgets were tight, but thought the loss of the team had happened too abruptly. “They didn’t expect to see it coming and there was no forewarning,” Talk of sports being cut has been going on for almost a year. Even when initial cuts were done last summer, I think everyone knew there would be more. One thing that really bugs me about the womens hockey team especially being cut is how completely oblivious they were to the potential of their program being cut. At very least in January when Kennedy announced that more sports were to be cut in March, Idalski needed to bring this to his players and tell them that losing womens hockey at UND was a possibility. They narrowly survived the initial cuts last summer, and were top of the list for these cuts. Judging by the shock from the players, he obviously didn't share that info with the players. Idalski knew that there was a good chance womens hockey would be cut. Not preparing his players for that scenario is is fault.

Hashtags, "protests", social media outrage.....all those things don't pay the bills.
