After all this is really about money isn't it? If it's only about money then we need to get rid of football. Let's find some cheaper sports for men to play. Maybe badminton. Or bowling. No what this is really about is a woman's sport that was losing a lot of money. I hope they win that lawsuit and it wouldn't shock me if they did. It would shock the hell out of me if it did. It's about money and Title IX. Both are constants. Both work together in an athletic department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get that many people to want tickets then reinstate the program. Well, that's not quite as lofty of a goal as you might think! If you subtract the number of 2016-2017 season-ticket holders from that 5,000 figure, you only need 4,980 more and we're good-to-go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck replacing the lost champions club memberships and apparel sales. Good luck replacing the 100 student members of the team and their friends who no longer enroll. Good luck getting the football alumni and football fan alumni to continue donating to the school. Good luck. But Olympians............

He's stating UND wasn't in compliance with Title IX becuase they aren't meeting one of the prongs. They are only required to meet one and they already meet two. UND hired a firm who specializes specifically in TItle IX before they made any moves. I'm going to go with the firm who specializes in that over an activist lawyer who's expertise is employement/labor law. Read up on the guy, he seems like a real treat. Or check his Twitter bio, where he claims to be a "Radical Oakland activist, enemy of capital, civil rights lawyer and grandfather of three." Or him defending his client who was beating someone with a bike lock by completely ignoring video evidence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The community supports men's hockey and it wasn't for the lack of funding for the women's team. Volleyball had more fans/attendance and ticket revenue than WIH. Wishing it to happen doesn't make it so. Mentioning 15 years, compare Clarkson to UND in women’s hockey for the first 15. It’s the same window of time.

jdub27 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Kelowna, British Columbia Brandon, Manitoba Eden Prairie, MN Lakeville, MN Winnipeg, Manitoba Orivesi, Finland Mankato, MN Strathmore, Alberta Penticon, British Columbia Excelsior, MN St. Louis, MN Just want to point out where the people filing the lawsuit against the NDUS (or basically the state of North Dakota) reside, trying to force them to subsidize $2 million plus dollars per year so 25 girls not from North Dakota can play hockey. Ironically enough, there was actually 1 player from ND on the team at the time and she's not listed in the lawsuit even though she was a freshman at the time the program was cut. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The threat of a lawsuit was a driving influence to create the program. It proved unviable and unsustainable so it was dropped.

The Sicatoka Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hayduke, in my perfect world we’d only play sports that were revenue benign to UNDs budget. But we can’t per the NCAA. We must play some revenue losers. And the Feds say you must meet Title IX. So, you have to play and make budget and make Title IX. If you’re an expensive sport you’d better provide revenue to keep your cost and cost per participant down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same guy that got the former UMD women’s coach a bunch of money. I have to admit that Ineqs shocked by the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
