Yeah, Hak's teams never had to win games at the end of the season just to make the tourney like they did this year.

That's a lot of students. The elimination of swimming and diving will be a much bigger and more important loss to the university than the elimination of women's hockey.

I'll admit when the nickname retirement was first announced, I believe around 2010, I said to my friends that I would never donate to the university if the nickname was changed. That didn't last long.

"Quick, they're announcing sports cuts today. Let's get on the ice."

I also found that language to be puzzling. Maybe just an additional excuse to throw out there.

For the vast majority of them, I'd feel comfortable calling it "probable" rather than "possible."

I believe I've seen it reported that Alumni Foundation revenue has gone up every year since the nickname was retired (not saying donations went up because it was retired, just that they haven't gone down).

SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS per student athlete to keep WIH! I can't repeat that number often enough.

Swimming and diving could have, but you don't care about them. Dickinson has had track and field Olympians, so outside of academic qualifications, no reason UND can't do the same. Also, regarding the WIH Olympians, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound?

Only men's hockey makes money right now. Sports cut in the last 15-20 years now include men's wrestling, men's baseball, men's swimming and diving, women's hockey, and women's swimming and diving. Men's golf will be cut next year, in all likelihood. President Kennedy just did what the last 2 full-time presidents were too afraid to do. He did what was necessary to put UND on the right track for the future.

He'd been in a room full of criers for the past hour, so he was probably a little shaken. Couldn't have been easy.

Roughly $60,000 per athlete per year. That's what WIH cost UND.

Agreed. Schloss doesn't care about them and it doesn't satisfy the war on women narrative I guess.

Tough deal for the students, coaches, and staff affected, but it had to be done. Nothing UND can do about the WCHA or one of the WCHA members leaking the story. The players affected will complain on social media for a while, the same as the baseball players did, and I can't really blame them. It's disappointing to see the sexism card played immediately, but not unexpected. Great to see UND has a real president again!!

Men's golf is on its death bed. That'll bring us to 16. Started with 21, cut men's baseball, men's golf, men's S&D, women's S&D, and women's hockey. Last prior sport cut was men's wrestling 15+ years ago.

That's laughable. He should be ashamed.

That really s*cks if O'Brien is done and that cheap shot is the reason.

Tell that to the baseball team. They were the last to find out.

Nice of Idalski to guilt trip his current players into not representing their country. Gotta keep the twins happy.
