I am sick and tired of hearing that WH is off the table. The numbers scream for it to be at least considered for cutting. Otherwise, this whole process is a joke.

I was including WH in my proposed cuts. As for men's golf, I am skeptical if they can continue to self-fund. I predict they will fold in a few years. I suppose we could go all the way down to 14.

True. But this is an excellent opportunity to reduce our athletic offerings from 20 to 16, thereby freeing up some resources to reinvest into our core programs (MH, FB, WBB, MBB). This is the perfect time to do this. If we wait until financial times are more prosperous, it will be harder to justify cutting any sport for any reason.

Actually, McFeely has been very harsh with NDSU over the years. It got to the point where Craig Bohl refused to come on with him because of some things he said on the radio.

I think the fear is that UND hockey will become a good-old boys club and accessible only to certain families and/or individuals. We need to continue building the next generation of fans and the more exposure they get to the team, the better.

That tragic day in Dallas in 1963 changed security procedures for the President forever. You'll never see a President ride in an open convertible ever again.

I got the call at work yesterday. He is offering discounted tickets and hotel rooms. I am supposed to get an e-mail on this so I can look it over and I will talk to him again on Monday.

The Winnipeg game vs. Clarkson a few years ago was fun. We should have more games in Canada, if for no other reason to annoy the CHL hockey snobs up there.

Grilled? About what? Taking players away from the CHL?

The truth is, a lot of collegiate and professional athletes would be best served not getting into pi$$ing matches with fans on social media. Let your play on the ice do the talking.

Shantel Rivard, is that you?

I am still baffled how UND lost to Michigan State AT HOME earlier this season. The Spartans are truly putrid.

Yuck, I hope not.

That would be better than nothing. A win and a loss on the road to a solid WMU team wouldn't hurt us in the PWR much.

I agree with you. But some people will insist that it's "just part of the game".

Big difference between driving 300 miles to Minneapolis and dropping a big wad of money on hotel and game tickets vs. getting off the couch on Saturday to watch Bubba and the boys at the Alerus Center. Your original comment sounded like a subtle shot at those of us who are not going this year. I asked a simple question. All I wanted was a simple response. Alas, I did not get it.

Let me guess, Federal regulations are forcing them to create this position.

For once I agree with you. Well said.

I think it is 9, with Men's and Women's Basketball being required.

Not sure where you pulled that comment out of, but I guess I would rather not know.

Too bad they aren't ever #1 in any rankings that really matter. #suckedfor50years

Why don't we just permanently abolish some academic departments and/or colleges and focus on the remaining units to make them stronger? Will it really ruin our reputation if we offer 150 majors instead of 200?

I hope you are not questioning the loyalty of fans who choose not to go to this tournament. It's more about prioritizing financial resources and leisure time than not supporting the team.
