Popular Post UND-FB-FAN Posted April 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2017 If anyone suggested a different DI university should drop football in order to preserve women's ice hockey, they would be laughed out of the room without an ounce of serious consideration. It is embarrassing that folks think UND and the people of North Dakota should somehow be held to different standards. UND is a "hockey school"? Well that pseudo-title sure didn't improve UND's WIH program's attendance or success, so I too think that descriptor is demeaning and embarrassing. People need to move on. UND and President Kennedy made the correct decision. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post North Dakota Posted April 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2017 Why doesn't Mr. Chipman send a check for the $60M? He's supposedly worth $500M. Put your money where your mouth is or shut it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Personally, I'd handle Chipman as a businessman --> Thanks for your interest; here are the numbers; would you like to invest in this. Be aware, without further investments this venture will close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shawn-O Posted April 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2017 Chipman's daughter was on the team so I'm going to cut him some slack here. I really doubt he would have weighed in on the matter otherwise. I admire Kennedy more by the day for having made this call, knowing what was coming and who he might piss off. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More broadly, when is the exaltation of victimhood going to stop? That's what today's Humanities professors have been exclaiming for years with their cultural Marxism religion they borrowed from the U of Stuttgart. WIH players still have ample opps in the Marxist / femiNazi bastion that is Minnesota. Next they will demand a pro league paid for by taxpayers. It's those Stuttgart scholars who started the nonsense that only people in the majority groups (i.E. Male, white, Christian) can be racist because they were born privileged. Now whole universities have staff full of that nonsense. Women, Muslims, and people of any shade of color can't be racist because they are not members of a privileged class. So WIH is without question a victim of racist and gender privilege according to them. Someone that claims it is transsexual or Islamic has to be right because they were so underprivileged and always had aggressions against them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new building is actually helping alot by opening up the old one to other departments allowing the old outdated buildings to be taken off line/demolished. Deferred maintance were racking up on those buildings, probably at a lower cost per year of WIH tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are describing is the "bread and circuses" that precluded the fall of Rome.
