Nevermind, ha. Just did a wikipedia check and according to TV views, the top 5 in USA in order is 1) W Ice Hockey 2) W Ice Hockey 3) W Ice Hockey 4) W Ice Hockey 5) W Ice hockey.

Soccer and hockey are very close in number of views.

And what's this?  Schloss got his name on an article with actual facts and numbers in it.  People posting on his blog and twitter must be having an effect.

Question:

If football had been cut, how fast would have Chipman drove down to Grand Forks to complain?

Wow.  That's surprising.  The Idaho Statesman said they intend to pursue baseball in Boise'state new minor league stadium.

Always thought Boise would be a perfect place for college hockey, if there was a true western conference.

Can you assure me that you'll ensure it never happens, or can I insure against that? 

Then again, that's asking a lot as they're set in their ways over there.

Yes folks, they want a 60 million dollar endowment so Kennedy can line his pockets. (What someone actually thinks on the GF Herald Facebook page)

I swear some people and what they come up with.  When Lakes makes more sense something is wrong here.

I am still amazed at the faux outrage over UND dropping WH.  Every day I find myself wondering why these random people suddenly care.  

Not a word about Swimming and Diving ever, though.  The program that actually won something.

Baseball couldn't swing what they needed. 

It looks like men's golf won't make it either. 

And for those saying $60 million is too much: You want to live of the interest.
Right now, 4% rate of return (interest) is safe. You don't want to eat into the $60 million principle. 

$60M * 4% = $2.4 million annual budget <-- that's what WIH had been running 

$60 million might be low. 

Stuff. Costs. Money.

I'll put myself in the box for that one, but I don't have to like it.

Does the $60 million also bring back S&D?
