That article mentioned that the papers were profitable, but not profitable enough to make it worthwhile for the owners to manage. Serious question: rather than just shutting the papers down, why don't the owners just sell the paper to the employees and make it employee owned? Is this because the employees wouldn't be able to pay as much as the owner would get for selling off all of the assets?

Not exactly the same situation... UND football was in a tail spin. But either way, what has that gotten us? Mediocre results. Don't really see how that helps your argument.

That wasn't exactly the point. Did you read the comment I responded to? Completely different context. And yeah, he'd be a great hire as a position coach. This is pretty much the same argument that could have been made for Paul Rudolph when he was hired.. "So when Dosch was named HC at NSU any guesses who else was a finalist that he beat out for the position? Hint...........he just lead a team to a 16-0 season."

That supposed to make Dosch a better coach somehow? The guy has a losing overall head coaching record. Don't see how his mediocre, at best, experience really makes him look any better as a candidate. Rather take a young guy with more potential any day (see Freund) than a "safe" pick like this dude. You really want a guy who was just fired from a D2 school to be our coordinator?

Has this been posted anywhere yet? New Sacred Heart arena plans: https://jlgice.com/projects/sacred-heart-university-ice-arena/?category=collegiate&ref=jlgarchitects Looks similar to CC's new rink.

New fresh talented DC has a bad enough defense that the team goes 6-5?

Ughh... Gonna be quiet and not derail this thread haha

If UND get's >50% the ticket revenue, sure. Otherwise, no.

Living in the cities, this kind of surprises me that grand forks plows the alleys. St. Paul alleys are plowed by private contractors, with households from each block pitching in to pay for it. They city council now wants the city to takeover alley plowing. When I lived on an alley in Grand Forks, almost ten years ago now, I don't remember this being an issue. I also don't remember if the city of GF plowed our alley or if it was a private contractor. Did this change recently?

New arena to be built in Kansas city area. Doubt UMKC is interested though.

Could also see people who plan on going to the game listing tickets at prices like this, and if the tickets sell, hoorah!

Which is a sellout. College hockey gets tons of fans that attend the frozen four each year, no matter who is actually playing. That really isn't the case with FCS football right now. If the game was in a destination city, it would be easier for people who want to go to drag their family or friends along, and Nashville is a much more central location. The FCS championship, ideally, should be a huge annual party for ALL fans of FCS football. Also, you don't think NDSU fans would sell this place out? You gotta know they would... and a school like JMU would see better attendance as well. UND hockey just sold out the predators arena for a non conf game, largely due to the location. What would the hockey ticket sales look like if that game was in Frisco?

Gotcha. Not sure what the big deal is that it's a soccer stadium. People who go seem to love the location and stadium. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Scratch that... I just google to see if Nashville has a stadium. It looks like they are working on a new MLS stadium that will be slightly larger than Frisco's. Frisco has my vote until this thing get's built. I think you would see a lot more FCS fans, from non championship teams, attend the game if it was in a city like this. Also more of a central location to most FCS teams. Capacity 27.5k

Capicity refused in 2016 due to construction, correct?

This guy had pretty much the opposite philosophy as Baukol, it seems. Good article. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1739903-how-to-build-a-bully-inside-the-stanford-football-strength-program

Not the most accurate for FCS teams when they don't even bother to update the status of committed players. https://247sports.com/player/quincy-vaughn-46084437/ https://247sports.com/player/samuel-salih-fort-46056222/

For comparison, how many do ND and MN have?

Shouldnt we have had a wac team at home this year, as well?

San Diego could be fun, although it has less potential than some some of the other options. Pechanga Arena in San Diego has 12.9K hockey capacity. Arena hosts an AHL team.

It really baffles me how bad the message boards are at most p5 schools. We are REALLY lucky with Sioux Sports. I've found a rivals board and 247, but those really aren't that great, and many have paid, restricted viewing sections. Many p5 schools will have like a basketball section, football, and and often not even a specific area for non revenue sports. It's just odd that there is more message board chatter here for sports like womens volleyball and basketball than there is for PSU's hockey team, when there is enough interest to fill their barn with 6k people every game.

Does Penn State have an active message board for hockey? The only one I can think of is thankyouterry.com, but I think the guy who ran it shut it down. With PSU selling out there arena every night, it's pretty crazy that their main message boards don't really have much hockey talk. I wan't to read about their thoughts on the game, but maybe nobody there cares.

Seattle will be a flop. People travel partly for good weather imo.

Booked for 8!

How many does each level there seat?
