UND1983 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Ever heard of Title IX, Senator? Or budgets? 1 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 When did I miss that UND was not in Title IX compliance for not having WIH? Wasn't there a federal body that investigated the matter for 6 months? Or was I dreaming that? Quote

And all of a sudden the game is more intense and exciting. Crazy how that works. Also, there were actually fans at that game. That helps. Quote

It's women against women and they're wearing pads so why no checking, makes no sense. What makes ice hockey such a great sport is both the speed and physicality and with no checking there's a void there. Every time I watch a women's game I anticipate a check coming up against the boards and then nothing happens... Quote

UND1983 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Let's stop and think about how hollow their argument is to bring back women's hockey. If she misses that shootout goal and Canada wins, none of this is happening right now. No crusading, no Ellen, no stupid tweets from our elected officials. Besides the fact that Olympic hockey once every four years has absolutely nothing to do with UND. 2 Quote

Is she running on a platform to force UND to add back women's hockey? Why doesn't she force NDSU to add women's sports like Title IX says? They could rent Scheel's arena much cheaper. The cost night be equivalent to Mankato's or Bemidji's programs. The WCHA would take them in seconds. Quote
UNDColorado Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Again, like other have said, give it another week or so and you will hear crickets. The Lammy twins maybe have one more olympics left in them. The SJW crowd and dim witted politicians will find some other crusade to latch onto shortly which will be equally annoying but at least it won't be attached to UND (hopefully). 4 Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Mods, this thread is drifting into political ideological bloviating. And we all know that never ends well. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Feel free to rip/support Heitkamp's stance on this particular issue. Other political discussion, including comments about Heitkamp's political motivations here, should be avoided. - Moderators. 1 Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 A rebuttal to the Mike Jacobs piece: https://www.sayanythingblog.com/entry/womens-hockey-program-und-died-supporting/ If anything ever gets reinstated at UND, it should be something that actually makes a difference in life, not a sport. Think music therapy; I have seen firsthand what that can do for a patient in the hospital. So many people lost their jobs at UND, I'm sick and tired of women's hockey coming up over and over. 1 Quote

Since UND does not account for those dollars as part of the revenues by sport, it makes all the programs look bad. Port loves calling out other people for bending a story to fit their narrative, but has no problem doing it himself. Quote
