The Sicatoka Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 NDSU best title IX defense would be to open its books and show every women's sports is basically funded at the top of its conference and has facilities on par with the men's teams. Yes, but that doesn't resolve opportunities: 129 v. 282. Quote

And how exactly does that defend not providing equal opportunities? Congrats on that I guess but you still haven't explained the reason for the disparity in the number of opportunities provided. And not sure what facilities the softball team's are on par with but I have been told that those are towards the top of the priority list for some upgrades so not a big deal if true. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 NDSU football wasn't fully funded because players left the team for various reasons. There are men's sports that are getting short changed scholarships but they aren't football or basketball or wrestling(which has its own endowment). NDSU best Title IX defense would be to open its books and show every women's sports is basically funded at the top of its conference and has facilities on par with the men's teams.When players !eave or get kicked off, normally their scholarships get distributed among those getting partials or walk ons. To not have a football team fully funded says there is a problem somewhere. Title IX is the place to look. By not funding football totally, that "shows" women's sports are not exclusively shortchanged when the books are opened. Why NDSU does not have an equestrian team like SDSU, which uses the gals to clean out the barns, is beyond comprehension. Quote

They share facilities for the most part, how could they not have "as-good" of facilities? Stupid argument. Quote

One would think if that was an issue it would have come in the last Title IX lawsuit or the NCAA DI certification process or at some point in the last 30-40 years. NDSU must not be that worried about if, it they were they could clearly add a women's tennis program with relative ease. The softball team wanted the bubble, it was their #1 request. I think the game day facility will be addressed once the SHAC is done. Quote

Not necessarily, especially if they think it would be more beneficial to use in recruiting. NDSU has had a few classes suffer heavy attrition. Equestrian is going to be discontinued by the NCAA, the school did look at it initially from what I can remember but it is no longer even an option. Quote
bison73 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 NDSU MBB/WBB didn't this past season and won't next either. Theres a reason for that and you know what it is. Which I am sure the NCAA isnt going to mind considering the construction going on. Geez Quote

SiouxVolley Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 You are wrong. Which make the remainder of your post moot. Scholarships are redistributed the next semester if you have a class program, even if a kid only gets a partial for one semester. But were talking class programs here, so never mind. Quote
FargoBison Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Done or paid for? I would guess they would look into it when the SHAC is done. It would be the only thing left that needs attention from a facility standpoint. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 If anyone else is as concerned about this issue as I am, here are the e-mail addresses for both Faison and Kelley. Be polite, be respectful, but also be clear about why this is so important to the future of UND athletics: brian.faison@athletics.und.edu robert.kelley@email.und.edu 1 Quote

But were talking class programs here, so never mind. Again you have no clue what you are talking about. When a kid leaves school for reasons other than graduation his scholarship is not immediately available. Quote

Equestrian is going to be discontinued by the NCAA, the school did look at it initially from what I can remember but it is no longer even an option.Equestrian may lose its NCAA status, but Baylor, Kansas St, Auburn, Georgia, and other land grants will count it still towards Title IX. Equestrian normally has up to 75 gals competing. That is a lot of Title IX slots. SDSU will be in big trouble if they drop equestrian. Miami has a synchronized skating team competing against club teams, but its recognized as varsity sport with scholarships and by Title IX, but not the NCAA. The NCAA may recognize an NDSU women's rowing team that uses the north Fargo sewage lagoons though. That always an option, other than hockey. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Again you have no clue what you are talking about. When a kid leaves school for reasons other than graduation his scholarship is not immediately available.Bison brain density showing again. When a 5th yr player graduates in the fall semester, or anyone leaves in the fall, scholarships in the spring become available. They can be used for spring JC or FBS transfers or a one time scholarship for a walk on or partial. So your saying NDSU doesn't reward walkons or partials that have done well? Quote

Got it? Those were your words not mine. You kept trying to move the goal posts and are still trying. Quit digging before the hole gets any bigger. Sad when all you can conjure up is sad personal attacks. when you get caught. In regards to your most recent post do you have the NCAA determination on how those scholarships are handled? Quote
