NDSU has 8 sports for both men's and women's, and somehow they are compliant when we basically have identical sports except we have hockey and they have wrestling. Correction, at NDSU they have 'wrasslin'. 4 Quote

Ironic, they leave and Minny wins national titles. I don't think they went to Minnesota for anything except exposure. They used their freshman years to get on the Olympic team and after they achieved that they transferred here. I have no problem with them being upset about the program closing as hockey is their life and they have every right to use their freedom of speech. It sucks for them but it was absolutely the right call. 1 Quote

My response was and remains: Show me a workable* budget that retains women's hockey. *Meeting fiscal, conference, NCAA, and Federal Title IX requirements. 1 Quote

A raw number of sports is not a credible measure. Opportunities (roster slots for M/F) is what's looked at in comparison to the general student body M/F ratio. And that's merely one of a plethora of checklist items. FB has 100 on the roster. That's why there's the need for VB, soccer, and softball. Quote

That was the main reason they went to Minnesota their freshman year in my opinion to ensure they would get the exposure to make the team. That being said, that shouldn't be a reason why a program that loses millions of dollars yearly stay in place. It is a dumb argument Quote

Once she was gone they were interested in coming back home to play. 2 Quote

NDSU has 8 sports for both men's and women's, and somehow they are compliant when we basically have identical sports except we have hockey and they have wrestling. I have no doubt the NDSU is in Title IX compliance. They just choose a different path to meet Title IX. Compliance to Title IX can take many different forms. The path that NDSU takes has positives and negatives. One of the disadvantages is that you really don't have control over what sports you offer. If there is enough interest in returned surveys that NDSU distributes annually. Then NDSU will need to take action to provide an opportunity. Now does that mean a scholarship sport. I am not sure. But, given NDSU's approach to Title IX and the aggressive nature of women's hockey. I can see a path to NDSU looking at college women's hockey.
