I'm not a lawyer, but firm of Baker Donelson sure is, and they just so happen to be experts in Title IX litigation. Which is why UND hired them to help oversee the process. I would guess there would have been a nice path to baseball and/or men's S&D returning if it wasn't done in the way it was.

I highly doubt that Kennedy, being a fairly smart businessman himself (regardless of what your personal opinions of him are), decided on a whim to forge his own path on this. But there are still people who think the WIH program wasn't actually losing over a million dollars/year before they were assessed any sort of facility charges to their bottom line. Point is, you can't argue with people that have their own version of the truth. 

Und womens program was funded on par with the big schools but we never had the results

Anyone who didn't pick up on the clue when they publicly announced that they had hired Baker Donelson and even explained in the media what their specialty was had their head buried in the sand. I remember when it was announced I said to my buddy "well, it looks like they are going to cut women's hockey."

Seems to be a fire storm on the facebook page "all things fighting sioux" one commentator said this and is it true?

The proposed cuts by the department did not include Women's hockey nor did it included Women's swimming and diving.
Kennedy changed what Faison proposed.
I was there, everything you have been parroting in this thread is what you read in the papers and not the real story. What Faison and Irle originally proposed, cut UND down to the minimum sports for D1, and would have saved more money. This was supposed to have come out in a press conference on Monday, Kennedy stopped that and changed it to Wednesday. That's why the hockey recruit was in town. They weren't on the chopping block until Kennedy played politics.

But didn't Schaffer pretty much do it?

UND doesn’t need women’s hockey and women’s hockey doesn’t need UND 

when und drop the program there was only 35 teams now there is 42 

Very few of D1 schools have attendance to women’s hockey 

Idalski never recruited anyone from the state of North Dakota 

currently there are 7 North Dakota girls playing D1 3 of them have been named all conference or 1st team

i have $5 if anyone can name the 7 ND girls who used UND as a carrot inspiring them to pursue there dream 

A lot of People on this board don’t like women’s hockey 

living in the the twin cities and asking fathers of potential D1 girls if UND would bring back hockey would they pursue it they all said no like when your girlfriend cheats would you take them back 

let the other schools who are committed to having both men’s and women’s hockey programs continue to grow the sport for them 

Been 2 weeks I will give the answers to the ND 7 players in division 1 Hockey 

1. Britta Curl  F Bismarck -Plays at Wisconsin Currently headed to Beijing to play with USA-Wanted to go to UND but never got recruited till Wisconsin came after her

https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/britta--curl/9888

2. Kennedy Blair G Bismarck - UND Redshirt, 4 years at Mercyhurst after UND cut the program full time starter at Mercyhurst and transfer graduate last year to Wisconsin  and did win  Multiple CHA Awards-Now in her 6th year, 2nd with Wisconsin winning a National Title Last year. Covid year gets an extra Yr of playing  

https://uwbadgers.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/kennedy-blair/9885

 

3. Lucy Morgan G -Mandan- ST. Lawrence University  This one surprises me but I now  remember when she  upset #2 Fargo North South in the state tournament shots were 55-8 against and Mandan won,  she was named 1st team ECAC and Goalie of the year Last year. Currently she is ranked 4th in the NCAA Division 1 in the nation

https://saintsathletics.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/lucy-morgan/13003

4. Greyson Meyers F - Fargo North South-Plays for Bemidji Plays 2nd line has 6 goals and 9 assists

https://www.bsubeavers.com/whockey/roster/2018-19/12192/graysen-myers/

5 Anna Promersberger F-Shattuck-St Mary's - Alternate Captain for Penn State plays between 2-3rd line 

https://gopsusports.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/anna-promersberger/11768

6. Abby Promersberger sister F Fargo North South-Freshman at St Thomas University-which really took over UND sport making it the 8th team in the WCHA 2nd Line 5 Goals 7 assists

https://tommiesports.com/sports/whockey/roster/abby-promersberger/7354

7. Avery Meyers-Sister F- Fargo North South -University of New Hampshire 3rd-4th Line 4 goals and 2 assist

https://unhwildcats.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/avery-myers/8848

8. Quinn Kuntz G Grand Forks- plays at The Ohio state- has 2 games is the 4th Goalie

9. Katelyn Arman-F Fargo North South University of Maine

https://goblackbears.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster/katelyn-arman/9052

So there is 9 players on Division 1 Hockey teams from North Dakota hats off for them beating the odds. 

If there are any more please share 

IMHO- I bet UND Hockey was a big influence on all these girls growing up that was the carrot, In the next 5-7 years I wonder how many North Dakota Girls will make a Division 1 squad-

My daughter was recruited by Bemidji St, St Cloud St, and Mankato. She loved Concordia and committed to them. A week later Idalski starts recruiting her. I told him she committed already elsewhere yet still called me 3 other times. Of course I didn’t answer. My daughter could not stand the man
