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.

So here's something to ponder. To cut any sports now they can't be any sports that are core to Big Sky....so seems soccer is safe with new hire....that would leave men's golf, swim/dive, WH and softball. Per Big Sky core sports it includes women's golf and men and women's tennis. So say WH gone...they will want to cut deeper. Do they cut all the remaining sports...they avoid any issues with Big Sky then. They don't want to jeopardize any potential conference championships for the next year. Or....do thy jump to Summit early....
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

As they say...

I'm sure this has been discussed, but when does the MVC schedule start? I assume after the 2019 season?
UND joins the MVFC in 2020

If UND WHKY was consistently winning conference/tournament championships and making trips to the NCAA tournament, you could at least make a case for them. But 0 regular season or conference tournament championships and 2 NCAA tournament appearances in 13 years (0 wins) is definitely not justifying taking a 1.5 million dollar hit every year to keep the program around.
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.

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?

So let me guess. In the remote chance that NDSU moved to the MVC, I assume the new group-think here would be that the Summit would not be a good fit for UND anymore right?
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.

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?
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.

Living southeast of Tucson, our 'local' news coverage is the Tucson market. Brian Jones may have met his match in Sean Miller. He gets some of the nation's best talent but can't win the big games. The Wildcats have really struggled in the NCAA tournament since Miller took over. Have not been a Jones fan in the past, but he has put it together this year and I do think he can out coach Miller. Arizona may have too much talent for the Hawks to overcome, but I think Jones can keep the Hawks in the game.

I'm hoping either Womens hockey is cut or Idalski is fired. I'd settle for one at the moment. With the great year basically every major sport at UND is having it really shows Idalski's inadequacy.
Especially considering his piece of the AD budget

Don't think it was the Summit that took so long. They would have taken UND anytime over that last 5 years. It was the lack of a football home in the MVFC that took so long.

Yes. The only real option for SDSU would be the MVC and a non-Wichita MVC is not really a step up. WSU leaves and expect UNI and Illinois State, and possibly Indiana State to begin searching for a new league. Amazing as it sounds, with the addition of UND the Summit is more stable right now than the MVC.
Thank you for your insights jacksfan29

I'll answer from an outside perspective.
Even if they had the money NDSU has no place to go. They will not join as an Independent. The Sun Belt is now a regional conference who like their current footprint. Much like Idaho, NDSU is way outside of that footprint. The MWC wants nothing to do with FCS move ups. They want UTEP, Rice or UT San Antonio. Even NMSU have a better shot at the MWC than does NDSU. They would be 5th in line for the MAC. James Madison, Youngstown, UNI, Illinois State would be the top 4 FCS schools the MAC would show interest in.
JMU and YSU have both discussed FBS in the past. UNI has ties to the MAC, plus the MAC is still a BB conference first and UNI is a BB school. Illinois State have mentioned FBS before though budget issues in Illinois will hold them back.
No matter what you read on BV, NDSU has no conference to move to. End of story. Your rival to the south is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Would you say the same about SDSU?

So this is a stupid question, but I gotta ask...
does UND joining the Summit/MVFC make NDSU more or less likely to seek FBS status?
-
Well, there was the year that U Florida won both FBS and men's basketball notional championships (2006-2007?) Don't know how their women's teams did, though.

Don't take me the wrong way here, I'm hoping MBB & WBB win the Big Sky and we get the four conference titles like mentioned, that would be great, but we're still the reigning MH NC! A Great past 11 months if this works out in BB this weekend.
You are technically correct.
should have said during 2016-17 school year
-
Agreed!
merely meeting the mandated $1.3 MM cut does not do anything to increase funding resources for those teams that remain (that Kennedy wants to be competitive)

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
