Popular Post UND-1 Posted April 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2017 They are going to start a twitter campaign. Bunch of hashtags. Followed by a Title IX misinformation campaign with no facts to back it up. At no time will you hear them mention dollar figures or budget. 22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneksioux Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 In the lamoreaux twins world, money must grow on trees. How do I get accepted into this world!? Also where was all of this support when the women's team was losing $2mil plus per year? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jdub27 Posted April 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2017 It seems like the main argument for keeping WIH is that UND and the state of North Dakota should be the ones subsidizing various country's Olympic squads to the tune of $2 million per year. UND needs to make sure these numbers are out in front of this argument because if the USA Hockey incident is any indication, it seems logical that misinformation and exclusion of relevant facts is going to be the heart of the campaign. Quote How rare is it to be able to turn on your TV every four years and watch Olympic athletes compete that also represent your University? And at the low, low cost of only $8 million every Olympic cycle! Though remember, if you ever make a decision they don't agree with, they will use the platform you helped them build to smear the University! 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link is on the GF Herald. Here's the link to anyone who hasn't read it. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/4244678-lamoureux-twins-send-und-president-letter-prepare-fight-womens-hockey#.WOJvBbxOeqU.twitter I think this issue is going to go on for awhile. Their claim that UND cutting women's hockey is detrimental girls/women's hockey. What is detrimental to women's hockey is the USA and Canada spanking teams 7, 8, or 9-0. USA and Canada dominating the Olympics doesn't look good at the Olympics. If the women's national team wants to save women's hockey at UND I won't stop them, maybe they get the WCHA to pay UND for a team it worked for USA Hockey. The twins and their teammates better find around $31 million to fund the hockey team along with the other sports needed for Tilte XI. (I used $31 million because $2 million only cover a season. So they might as well do the ASU way of starting hockey.) Edit: Why does it seem like people only care about how many Olympians UND has and not winning National Titles? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't found a way to work around it for Major Juniors, but you can bet that it will be a different story for something they deem politically correct.

UND-1 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Sick of how they keep relating UND and USA Hockey as if they are one in the same. The "Olympian" line they and Schlossman keep spewing means absolutely nothing to the University of North Dakota and it's athletic department. Nothing. If it did they would get more than 200 people for a playoff game and pull in more than 25K in revenue. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post geaux_sioux Posted April 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm getting so sick of these two. I realize that their inability to see limitations in their life is what has allowed them to work their way to the pinnacle of their sport but they are so out of touch with this issue that's its laughable. It's pretty simple, the sport is brutal to watch and nobody shows up to the games which equals a $2.5 million tab that UND is supposed to just pick up every year. Not any more. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Sure we could save women's hockey. It would just take 31,000 people donating $1,000 each to generate that $31,000,000 endowment noted above. But the harder part is finding funding for the corresponding men's sport so UND doesn't have Title IX issues. Double edged sword, that one is. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
