    With NO facility costs attributed to WIH and giving no credit to FB for Champions Club donations associated with FB season tickets or apparel licensing revenue or media contract revenue or sponsorship revenue, yes FB has "lost" the most money the past few years. Like jdub said, one needs to remember football has 4 times the student athletes of the other major programs and it's a sport the community and alumni actually care about.

    When discussing UND fearing potential litigation, one must remember UND had quite possibly the worst attorney in the state in Julie Evans as its lead general counsel since July 2000 (position eliminated in the last couple years). She likely feared (rightfully, with how terrible she was) any litigation being brought against UND and is rumored to have been constantly in Kupchella's and Kelley's ears to push them in a direction away from any potential litigation.

    Unfortunately it would be the courts enforcing it after UND gets sued. From the Facebook post when UND announced the baseball and men's golf cuts in April: Based on what I can find, Jen Rice went to UND, complained and threatened to sue for no D1 WIH, then transferred to Concordia. She seems very proud of herself for getting the wrestling team cut. She can add the baseball and, eventually, men's golf skins to her wall too. @UNDvince97-01

    I switched a couple within each division (up and down), but these would be relatively even from a competitive standpoint. Nicely done. Edit: Ideal scenario, drop the bottom 8 and add the other Dakotas.

    Well we just found $550,000+ per year for upgrades that could benefit all sports still located in Hyslop. And one of the Betty sports could take over some of the WIH space in the REA.

    So bowling and Tennis likely wouldn't work due to small rosters. S&D sounds like an option though. $850K is a lot less than $1.4M according to my calculator.

    I believe it opened as UND -2.5. Not sure where it is now.

    I agree with you and think it's ridiculous.

    Won't that hurt the BSC teams in national ranking systems?
  11. UNDBIZ
    I believe jdub was implying our "national rank" in spending for a women's sport must be similar to a men's sport. We're top 10 in MIH so we need to be top 6 in WIH, or something like that. NDSU funds football very well, for an FCS school, but if the comparison is made to FBS schools, they are still pretty low on the totem pole. They're probably mid-level of all D1 for football, so they just need to fund one women's sport at a mid-level compared to how other schools fund that one women's sport. Not sure how valid it is, but that's how I read jdub's post.

    Perhaps they are able to compare their football spending to FBS schools, in which case they don't spend much.

    I believe it rhymes with Garvin Dindows.

    Looking at SUU this year, it seems they prefer to run the ball and their D is mediocre against the run. UND 24-13

    Start giving WBB those perks too.....? Seems like a winner.

    Hmm, I must not have communicated correctly in prior post. I agree with gundy. There are 24 seeds, top 8 get a bye to round 2, of the bottom 16 the committee takes into account geography and bid amount (as gundy alluded to, they claim not to look at bids until things are regionalized, but get real). They don't regionalize like hockey with #s 9, 10, 11, and 12 each in a separate region. It is almost strictly based on geography. They heavily factor geography and bid amounts in order to lose as little money as possible.

    Why do we comply with every tier of Title IX when other schools just pick one to comply with?
  18. UNDBIZ
    No, that looks right to me.
  19. UNDBIZ
    Not necessarily. Irle may have replied with "WIH is very prestigious and has Olympians. They're not going to play in a high school rink."
  20. UNDBIZ
    So is there anything to this? Has REA suggested WIH move out? Or just speculation? Not attacking, actually interested.
  21. UNDBIZ
    Correct. I believe they make an effort to ensure the #9 and #10 teams don't face each other (or the #23 vs #24) in round 1, but I don't think it's guaranteed. Being #9 does not guarantee you home field for the 1st round either, which is quite ridiculous IMO. I should say it's not necessarily the 8 highest bids, as geography plays a fairly large role. Nope

    I'd just like to preface this by saying the committee should not have had the coaches/athletes present like this. This was an ego stroking measure for Kenville, plain and simple. I don't blame Kennedy for asking the IAC to look into athletics (IT'S THEIR PURPOSE). He had been on the job for 2 months and shouldn't have been expected to already know the IAC was lead by an idiot. I do think Kennedy should have shown some leadership by putting a stop to it before the coaches had to beg for their sports. With that said, it's apparent the Herald was going to pitch a fit regardless of how the process went. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4134713-tom-miller-meeting-needs-matter#.V_21lF9oMYk.twitter

    2016 Attendance

    UNDBIZ replied to nodak651's topic in Football

    Last year when homecoming was October 10th and the team was 4-1 with wins over FBS Wyoming and FBS killer Portland St? Hardly seems comparable to this year.
