    So, when will it no longer be considered bad timing/poor taste to announce an extension and raises for Jones and his staff?

    The harsh reality for the women's hockey supporters is that there is no way UND could have made that level of cost cutting without cutting women's hockey. Any other combination of teams/sports would not have been able to save the athletic dept as much as including women's hockey could. UND needs to maintain enough sports, Faison said 16, to remain NCAA compliant. Softball, soccer, tennis are not nearly as expensive combined as WIH was. The depth of cost cutting UND made yesterday clears the way for the other programs to be supported at a championship level, and should allow UND to pay the football and basketball staffs at competitive levels and allow them to keep their staff in place for more than a year at a time. i still think the dropping of baseball last year was a set-up to clear Title IX compliance to drop women's hockey this year. Sad to see baseball had to take the hit, especially now that UND is heading to the Summit, but that might be why the team was cut a year ago.

    Thinking back to a post gfhockey made yesterday -that a neighbor of a S & D coach had said that sport was being cut makes me think that 1. gfhockey's info was good and 2. At least the coaches knew before today' press conference. If they did know, there was the opportunity for them to tell their players, if they felt it was appropriate so, if Idalski knew, like the S&D coach did, was he really out of town "recruiting"?

    Or... baseball and men's golf were sacrificed last year to clear the Title IX path to drop women's hockey now.
  6. zonadub
    Or a black eye for the ND budget?
  7. zonadub
    More than a baseball team

    Where is the outrage on behalf of the s/d teams? They are just as impacted as the wh team, yet they are getting no ink.

    Funding other sports at a championship level. Raises for coaching staffs, especially assistants?
  10. zonadub
    Make it a club team

    Not that I'm aware of. I just don't see any other reason to justify that $2 MM a year money pit.
  12. zonadub
    Yeah, my point was not that I think the B1G is going to add women's hockey, just that if UND women's hockey is saved, it should be because both teams are going to the B1G
  13. zonadub
    The only thing that should keep WIH on the roster is if the B1G is starting a women's conference and having a women's team is a requirement of inviting UND to the B1G hockey conference.
  14. zonadub
    Or the implementation of the cuts are delayed, starting with the 2018-19 school year. Unless it is only women's hockey.

    Looks like soccer is not being cut Citowicki joins soccer staff http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=211536593

    As they say... if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it make a noise?

    UND joins the MVFC in 2020
  18. zonadub
    Isn't that without any costs associated with using the REA? iirc, all the costs from the REA are charged against men's hockey. That would make the cost of women' ice hockey closer to $2 MM.
  19. zonadub
    If the REA costs are allocated properly, how do you justify keeping the WIH money pit while eliminating 4 other sports and potentially 100 athletes?

    Prefer Big Sky now. Would prefer Big Sky then. however, if UND is in the Summit, prefer that NDSU is still there and... don't think NDSU is going anywhere. doubt they get an invitation (other than the rumor of UNI support, who else would want to travel to Fargo). plus, the Summit (NCC 2.0) is actually looking like a stable and competitive conference.
  21. zonadub
    Here's an off-the-wall thought... What about Omaha? They have Creighton's market and the best RPI in the Summit. Didn't you (Sioux Volley) say that Belmont would be a front-runner if the MVC had an opening?
  22. zonadub
    Shouldn't head coach compensation also be reflective of the staff and team's community and campus involvement? It seems that football has raised the bar on this since Coach Schweigert has lead the program. How does the bb staff and team stack up in involvement, both in the community and on campus, including support of the other UND athletic teams? Asking cuz I don't know.
  23. zonadub
    Since Jones & Co earned a substantial raise following the success of the MBB team (at least according to the current sentiment on this forum), the budget cuts should go beyond the original amount. Say at least an extra $100K, making it prudent to cut $1.4 to 1.5 MM. Another thought after reading the article... conference considerations and bringing a Title IX consultant in probably means that S & D will survive. Does the Title IX concern mean that another men's team is being considered, since UND is already over-weighted toward women's sports? Or is it to insure that dropping WIH does not bring Title IX scrutiny?
  24. zonadub
    If UND can abandon the Big Sky, they can certainly justify dropping WIH.

    Would think that the cheerleaders would make the trip... It's their opportunity to be on national tv, as well.
