UNDBIZ Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 It must be nice to have Ohio St and Michigan carrying your water to the tune of $22 million per year from media deals. 4 Quote

They should fund hockey at all costs at that school!" "UND just saved womens hockey - THOSE IDIOTS! Where are they gonna find $60 million to fund it?" 1 Quote

Maybe they are sitting there when UND made the announcement and thought "Man I wish Minnesota would cut the women's hockey team too." or they thought "Wait you can do that? Get Coyle on the phone." 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Minnesota has enough problems of its own...like making sure Tom McGinnis gets the school and nickname correct when handing out NCAA hockey trophies. 2 Quote

Sidebar: I saw the rules about booting you off if no one takes the "volunteer your seat" offer yesterday. If they boot you, if they get you there 1-2 hours late (versus original arrival time) they owe you 2x the price of your ticket. If they boot you, and if they get you there more than 2 hours late (versus original arrival time) they owe you at least 4x the price of your ticket! Quote

We'll never have a men's team for that very reason. NDSU Women's Club Hockey team did just finish 2nd in the country in the women's division 2 championships. Quote
