Sale of Ray Richards golf course to be delayed http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4462515-sale-ray-richards-golf-course-be-delayed

To even out the Divisions and avoid realignment, the NHL needs to add a team in Houston or Kansas City. Another option would be to move Arizona to one of those cities to join the Central and add Seattle to the Pacific to replace Arizona.

I wouldn't say we are starting in a whole. Last year was down year mostly caused by a freakish amount of injuries. This team can still build off of 2016. They know that they have the potential to have a season like that again. Not like it was 10 years ago. Many of the players from that Big Sky Championship team are playing this year. this team has the potential to be a playoff team this year (and every year for that matter). No need to let one season make them think otherwise.

And in a crazy attempt to promote their re branding, they had the audacity to put it at midcourt!!

Purdue Ft Wayne unveiled their new updated logo. SME was the design firm. Presented with no comment!

How much of this information is public? Is there records out there that would show how much net profit the REA generated each year and how much it gave to UND? If those numbers are not the same, then the REA is making money off of their giff, which I don't think is right.

So REA Inc then. Someone is making money off the arena? I don't think they are operating in the red.

Soy you think donors should make money off of what the recipient used their donation for?

There will be more people at the the Thursday game than if it was 2 days later during Labor Day weekend Not everyone is going to Vegas Not everyone hunts

It all comes down to the question of should a donor be making money off of their donation. Ideally, The Ralph would would pay its bills for all operating costs of the arena and any profit beyond that should go to UND. That would be "acting in the best interest of UND" and ensure that the building was being maintained, and that UND would benefit from the profit the arena generates. Sholud the Engelstad Foundation be profiting from a "gift"? In my opinion, I don't think so. And that is why Kennedy made his statement that the deal signed in 2001 was to benefit the donor. He said it because he is right.

Well, you know you are now going to provide proof of all this stuff. Pictured or it never happened!!

If the NCAA wasn't get the best of the best that aspire to play in the NHL, they should model their game after the NHL as much as possible. 5 minute 3 on 3 followed by a shootout. I don't understand why leagues are so against this. "Every prominent North American professional and junior league uses three-on-three overtimes in the regular season, including the NHL, the American Hockey League and the ECHL."

They are right. It is actually higher than that!!

Lifetime Fitness is moving into the JCPenny location at Southdale. I think you will see more and more non-retail business moving into malls.

People need to remember that womens hockey wasn't cut because attendance was low, they weren't a successful program, or that Kennedy just doesn't think women should have nice things. The reason womens hockey was cut is because of the mandated budget cuts and the fact that womens hockey was the highest cost/athelete sport at UND that cost them 1.9 million year. Add the fact that the hockey program had no affiliation to the primary athletic conference UND was going to be in and that is your reason. Anything other than that is irrelevant to the situation.

The US Judicial system ladies and gentlemen. Did you expect anything else?!!

Some also need to remember that there wasn't really another option. What was UND supposed to do, save womens hockey and cut 5-6 other sports? No way you can do that. UND was fortunate to only cut the amount of programs they did. Womens hockey being cut resulted in less.

So what would be considered a win for Kennedy and acceptable? 100% of football ticket sales and 60% of everything else? I think that Kennedy shouldn't have accepted anything less than that.

Latest update. Looks like we will know the new deal in a week. Key take from the article, there is a new agreement. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4460225-new-usage-agreement-being-negotiated-between-und-ralph-engelstad-arena

Anyone else find it odd that the neither of the Lamoureux twins have tweeted about this lawsuit? Seems like they would be all over this story!

The suit says the hockey program was "the most prominent and popular sport" among women's athletic programs at the Grand Forks college. A little bit misquoted, but even claiming that it was the most prominent and popular sport among womens athletic programs is a stretch. Womens basketball and volleyball were much more popular. Attendance numbers don't lie.

It looks legit. And really, that's all that matters right!1 I doubt someone is going to question the authenticity of the jersy hanging in your man cave!!

Well, Looking at the signatures that I can make out (that have a number by them) the signature under the "O" looks like Jason Ulmer with #9 by it. Also the signature by the 3rd feather from the top of the Sioux head looks like #2 Curtis Murphy. So you might have made a pretty good find.

Let's just say by some miracle that they actually win the lawsuit against the NDUS. Does the NDUS have the authority to tell UND what programs their athletic teams can and cannot sponsor?

I don't think that it's too much for schools in the NATIONAL Collegiate Hockey Conference to understand that the conference is not a regional conference (like Hockey East). I don't think Miami and WMU would look to go to say the WCHA because of travel reasons.
