If we didn't cut that or any sports that we are required to keep right now for both Summit and Big Sky, cuts are made academically. You make it sound like certain cuts in academia would be a bad thing for UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he supposed to just stop working because he hasn't received an extension? I'm guessing that Idalski wasn't totally oblivious to what was going on around him if some people on this board were thinking it was a strong possibility it could be cut. I think if my contract was up and there was silence on the renewal, I would be addressing it with my superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many social justice warriors we'll hear from. The numbers tell the story of this cut. It is entirely jusitified and necessary. Still, there will be anti-empricial data folks trying to paint a different picture in arguing that the financial/attendance common sense should've been ignored (well, it's already happening).

But now that we have a practice facility built big enough for FB and have invested real money into it, it is too late to cut FB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 20 minutes ago, Old Time Hockey said: Funny that small colleges can fund a women's hockey program, but MIGHTY UND cannot. As an alumn, I am embarrassed right now. Funny that large colleges like Michigan and Notre Dame choose not to fund women's hockey but UND is supposed to with next to zero fan support. 209 fans to a playoff game. 209. You should be embarrassed about that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksioux Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I hope Kennedy is studied up on the numbers and is prepared for this press conference. The numbers, if forcefully argued, can effectively defend the decision. He needs to not only explain how this decision alleviates the budget concern, but also why it the best (if not "only) decision to make. He needs to address other options that were considered and why they would not have worked, or why they would have been detrimental to more athletes, etc. He can't take an approach of not commenting on other sports that were considered. He needs to go full frontal on accounting issues in this presser. If he's not prepared on the numbers and does not perform well in this presser, things could get a little ugly for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tangolou Posted March 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2017 This is by far the best decision made at UND in the last 20 years! Somebody made a decision based on numbers and facts instead of feelings. I asked a lot of people today what they thought should be cut at UND and they all said Women's Hockey. It was painfully obvious to anyone with objectivity that this needed to be done. 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't be Kennedy. That'll be the consultant that they hired. Gay-ron-teed. Kennedy will make the initial statement; Faison will make some words about "informed teams"; consultants will explain the numbers. Takers on that prediction?

You could be right, but I would prefer it if Kennedy showed some level of command with the numbers and demonstrates that he was involved and invested in this decision. But if there is a consultant who provides some of the accounting details and Title IX concerns, that would be good as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
