UNDBIZ

After last season, I think I might prefer a D2 grad transfer over someone who couldn't cut it in FBS.

Also: "major"

FYP.

Source? You keep saying Ralph cared about WIH when there is no record of it.

Seeing as it's incredibly unlikely Kennedy will cut the sport completely, this is looking like the best option. Cut their current budget in half and then use legitimate accounting to attribute a portion of the REA costs to WIH to cut off the Title IX complaints before they start. Cut the coaching staff budget by at least half and the recruiting budget by 75%. Focus recruiting on North Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

HD > SD

Not an expert, but there are other teams that can be given access to those facilities if it's necessary to satisfy Title IX.

UND has more tuition and fee revenue than ndsu, so....

Can't remember if it had been brought up here or not, but SFI says Clive Georges will not be back for 2017.

I believe they're privately funded for 2 years. Will need to secure an endowment ($2 million?) if they want to continue after that.

No. The Title IX fearmongers in the AD say keep WIH. REA would like to have more available dates for concerts and other events that actually bring in revenue.

Strange, reason for concern?

Schlossman and the Herald would certainly make a stink of it. Wouldn't affect the writing of checks to UND though.

Doesn't he have family ties to UND? Should work in our favor.

Schlossman would be very loud on Twitter and in the Herald. Will WIH be cut? Probably not. Should WIH be cut? Yes.

There is no potential for media exposure with WIH. Nobody cares about WIH, regardless of olympians. Source? You keep saying this with nothing to back it. WIH doesn't make enough money to cover the cost of selling and collecting tickets. WIH. Assuming those programs combined cost the same as WIH, roster size of S&D and Soccer combined = more students = more money for UND.

UND (#9) is currently 13-4-2 against teams not in the PairWise top 4. Unfortunately we're 1-6-1 against those top 4 teams. Then you look at a team like Penn State (#5). They're currently 0-0-0 against teams in the top 10 and 2-3-1 against teams between 11 and 16. They're 1-0-1 against teams between 16 and 30 and 13-1-0 against teams ranked 30 or worse. Just thought this was interesting.

If the season ended today, 1 conference would get three #1 seeds. Crazy.

And UND is at 20 (9M/11W)

Jacobs actually seems to have most everything right in this article (NDSU did make cuts to operating last year, just not as much as UND). Unusual for news in ND.

The "20% chop" is a 6.9% chop at UND and a 12.2% chop at NDSU, thanks to Schafer's foresight.

I'm hoping we get 1 or 2 PWO OLs we hadn't heard about.... Also, 2 classes without a RB seems like not great planning, unless Griebel is expected to eventually fill that role.

But they didn't. They chose to place THE UNIVERSITY of North Dakota in Grand Forks. Fargo was given no higher ed institution for 7 more years and didn't get a University for another 70 years after that, and then only by referendum. North Dakota, as a territory and state, had one large university for 77 years.

In a single game, any of those.
