Anyway: Idaski recruiting = more WH. What is he supposed to do? Assume that the program is going to be cut and just sit and do nothing? When you are a job and you are hearing rumors that they are cutting your department, do you stay home from work? No, you go to work like usual until something gets announced. I doubt Idalski or any of the coaches know what Kennedy is going to announce. So until then, go about your business like usual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 If WH was getting cut tomorrow, they wouldn't have him go out. The coaches that are involved in cuts usually know before the public announcements. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Not sure if this has already been posted or not, but in a radio interview with Mike McNamara yesterday, Tom Miller stated that in his opinion, there was a pretty good chance women's hockey would indeed be cut, possibly as early as today. If you are interested in hearing the entire interview, which also included Virg Foss, you can find a link to it on Miller's twitter feed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This will be an interesting UND sports week for the long haul. I really think that if the B1Gh is going to happen in the near future, it is to be addressed now, if not now, that rumor disappears for a long time.

That article was dated 3/24, so last Friday, which mean he probably left earlier in the week. Considering the fact UND has brought in a consulting firm for this whole thing, I would imagine this are pretty tight lipped. Also, there probably was no decision made as of early last week, so rather than throw up red flags, just continue doing what you're doing. If WH gets cut, he will be looking for a job and will still need recruits...so whether or not those recruits will be for UND or a school to be named at a later date for him remains to be seen. If he can recruit on someone else's dime he will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be running UND athletics like a high school. Either keep the program and do what it takes to bring home championships or cut it and reallocate those resources to MBB, WBB, FB and VB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Miller: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4241770-miller-und-should-make-cuts-basketball-support-mind#.WNqPPEYGAok.twitter "And, really, that's perfect timing. If UND is going to shake things up, it should cut deep with the future in mind. UND shouldn't make this historic cut by trimming the bare minimum, allowing programs to be funded at poor levels and going about its business with the status quo." This right here. If we make the bare minimum in cuts to make budget, there may be a point down the road where we need to cut additional sports. I say cut more than what is needed to boost programs like mens basketball/football/volleyball/etc up. Many of us agree that cutting WHKY is going to make the biggest dent in the budget as far as cost savings. But UND should think proactively and cut 2-3 more sports so that the remaining sports can increase their budgets to pay their coaches appropriately in comparison to other schools in our future conferences (Summit/MVFC). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
