cberkas Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Colorado St is adding women's lax. The bizon might have a sport with which to join the Mountain West as lakes wants, and take a big step in solving their Title IX issues. Fresno and San Diego St have it too, but I guess bison board policy prohibits air travel unless its to Indiana or Oklahoma. ConcordiaSP is adding it too, but at a DII level. Lacrosse is expensive.

SiouxVolley Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Lacrosse is expensive. NDSU has money oozing out their orifices, according to bison trolls here. But the department has a habit of underestimating the cost of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 They have a strong women's club hockey team, so clearly there is interest and ability there. They'd be admitted to the WCHA easily. Despite the outcry, that seems more likely than lacrosse does. At the moment, I don't see anything being added until students start showing more "interest". Or at least that's my personal opinion.

SiouxVolley Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Denver's lacrosse expenses are $2,028,585. In the 2013 lacrosse season Denver had $1 higher in revenue over it's $2.03 million expenses. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-05-23/notre-dame-brings-lacrosse-s-lowest-revenue-into-ncaa-semifinals Here's a map that shows how much college's spend od D1 lacrosse. http://diycollegerankings.com/much-colleges-spend-d1-mens-lacrosse-programs-2/7471/ Denver bought a world class coach from Princeton for a price, is a Big East member in that sport, and has expensive tuition and room and board. A public like Albany spends a third of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A public like Albany spends a third of that. And look where Albany is located, lacrosse is in the East. If you're outside of the East you will be spending $1 million to $2 million and most likely loosing money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 But do we want them in the WCHA? Would bring in unbalanced scheduling that is needed in the WCHA to get more teams in the NCAA tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 But do we want them in the WCHA? Who cares? It's women's hockey. One more cheap bus trip on the schedule can only help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 How much money did the Sioux football program make for the University last year? I think I heard it was the first year in a while where they were positive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkster Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 How? It sure wasn't at the gate. I agree, it's hard for an FCS team to break even when they sell out the stadium. Considering how low attendance has been in recent years, there is no way FB made money last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, those prices would turn off pretty much everyone, which mean very few sales, which means very little profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume that since UND rents the Alerus Center and doesn't own it nor run the concession stands, there is some sort of concessions profit sharing. I'm sure its a nice add-on but I doubt the it is big enough to significantly move the needle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
