Could Orleans be an option too? Maybe they give UNLV a better deal if they are looking for a major tennant for example.

Icon Architects designed an arena soccer arena that was just built in San Diego. Perfect for D1 hockey. https://www.martinmech.com/blog/2019/10/7/arena-califino Nvm. Looks like it's being built too far away.. in Oceanside

nobody is getting paid 1 million to play hockey at georgia. if anyone cared THAT much, they would already have a ncaa hockey program.

No, but if they cut the annual pay of their coaching staff by $700,000 and cut their recruiting budget in half do you think they would expect the same results?

I mentioned earlier that, when evaluating Bubba as a head coach, that budget and other constraints should be considered when doing so. Bubba is doing pretty damn well given the budget that he is dealt with, and if he's replaced, I think it's near impossible that we fill out the staff with equal or better talent than we currently have with an equal budget. It's impressive that Bubba has done as well as he has when guys like Holinka and Freund are paid less than pretty much every position coach at NDSU. https://infogram.com/college-1hd12yxl0vmqw6k

Without much help from that article, that's what I gather. What a poorly worded sentence... "Hovland dismissed the case “without prejudice,” meaning another suit could be filed in the future, but the attorney representing the former players left the door open for potential further action down the line."

How can I watch this game? Is BTN+ available with any streaming services or is it only available directly through purchasing a BTN+ subscription?

Here is a recent podcast with him where he discusses his history with the NCHC and his move to the Summit League. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LRY7EDcWbc His Summit League Presser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xfrw3W0FZA

This. Thank you.

I like a qb who doesn't think he knows better than the coaches thank you.

All sports to the MVC. It doesn't matter if that conference is losing it's luster - it would still be a no brainer move for them and they would accept an MVC offer without a second thought, especially if such a move can be made without any detriment to their CCHA hockey program. Now, lets say UST hockey is presented with that same MVC offer, with the only difference being that their hockey program plays in the best hockey conference in the country, the Summit League, rather than the CCHA. Accepting that MVC offer now becomes incredibly difficult, because in doing so, they would simultaneously be required to make a conscious decision that actively damages their hockey program, as the Summit isn't offering hockey affiliation to a school that's exiting the conference. Now they would also have to deal with pissed off donors and the bad pr among a bunch of other headaches that would result, and at a time when by which they should also have a new arena with seats to fill. We both agree that the MVC isn't what it used to be, and I think the situation I described above would easily be enough to tip the scales, especially if it allowed administrators to just stick with the status quo. Also, to be clear, there aren't really enough hockey conference options for there to be a majority of anything, as it's literally only the single sport CCHA and whatever conference UND/SCSU/Duluth is in.

What scenerio are you referring to? Is anyone advocating for Augie to be added to either the Summit or anything hockey related? If the answer is no, then I don't see what your worry is? They provide zero strategic value to either conference. I don't really see how St. Thomas getting involved in a hypothetical Summit Hockey conference "would go against most of what the NCHC was founded on". UST has money, will build a new hockey venue within the next couple years, and they have a passionate fan base that could greatly improve the conference tournament in terms of both ticket sales and atmosphere. UST strives for excellence in everything they do, and I fail to see how they are anything like the small-minded leach schools that we left behind in the WCHA, they sure as heck provide more value than a school like ASU would. What's in it for non-Summit hockey schools? Well, having a presence in the single best hockey recruiting hotbed in the country doesn't hurt, and UST would become, by far, the second closest road trip for Miami and WMU. If moves aren't made now, UST could very well be gone within 5 years, which would be a shame given that their presence in the Twin Cities is of paramount importance to anyone who cares about improving the perception, profile, and desirability of the Summit league, long term (think other Dakota schools). In addition to the benefits of UST that I already mentioned, a bonus for DU and CC is that a Twin Cities presence would also help with recruiting to the overall student body - see the decision making process behind why the MVC is targeting for expansion the schools that they are, for reference. SCSU and UMD would benefit in this regard as well, as they wouldn't otherwise be playing games in the Twin Cities for any other sport. Most importantly, nothing HAS to be done, especially until funding is in place or shovels are in the ground, but know this, If nothing is done in an effort to "lock" UST or a school like Omaha into the Summit league, and we fail to improve the stability and desirability of the conference soon, please accept that there is nobody standing in line to replace the schools that leave, and we sure as heck will be guaranteed to end up with additions like Augi or worse. Regarding UMKC, one rumor doesn't mean they are adding hockey... we have all seen how unreliable reports of new hockey programs are, and it would be even more unlikely that they add the sport without support from conference members and investment in a new arena. Even then, they would at least have a new arena in a former NHL city.

Love the info everyone. Thank you. So does anyone know the % breakdown of the fields UND generates the most research in, perhaps now vs some point in the past? It will be interesting to see how much of an impact our relationship with the space force creates. Also the EERC developments with that pipeline are interesting as well. NVM.. the nsf link breaks down the info in a bunch of different ways.

RIP. I never understood why sports have any relevence whatsover when it comes to research alliances, such as that in the BigTen. Like is there some type of synergy I'm missing or something? Why does sports affiliation affect this stuff? I gotta be missing something here... pls help. @FSSD What does nsf stand for and can you post a link if possible? Is it possible to look up historical data?

Union to Okelly is that only one I can think of. Wonder if it is connected to the new union?

This is the longest construction process ever lol. Thanks to both of you for updates

What don't you like about the walkways? The one from the new college of business to merrifield looks pretty good imo. However, I think that new Merrifield entrance is Akin to someone polishing an antique coin... kinda worried it will destroy the character and aesthetics of one of the most photographed and iconic buildings on campus.

Given the budget and scope, that would make a lot of sense. They are apparently planning a new east side entrance to Merrifield... not sure what I think about it.. kinda thinking/hoping it's one of those things that looks better in person... https://campus.und.edu/facilities-management/_files/docs/architectural-vocabulary.pdf

First impression is that I was wrong.

Has this been mentioned yet anywhere on Sioux Sports? http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2021/12/a-special-session-to-remember/ For example, several Space initiatives that UND leaders have talked about for years were funded by the Special Session. So, watch for new facilities such as a UND Satellite Operations Center, UND Satellite Design and Engineering Lab, and UND Satellite Fabrication and Assembly Lab (including a spotless “Clean Room”) to start to take shape. A $50 million appropriation from the Special Session launched a project that – in conjunction with up to $29 million from philanthropic sources – will upgrade Merrifield and Twamley halls, turning both buildings into hubs of state-of-the-art, 21st Century learning.

I think I read NDSU is going to be reclassified back to R1. Anyone know how UND stands in that regard, or where total research value for the year is released?
