BobIwabuchiFan Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I'm wondering with the move to the Summit, what would it take for UND to bring back the baseball team other than a $20 million endowment? Quote
jdub27 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 A $20 million endowment and money to fund another women's sport. 1 Quote

If UND only provides a locker room and academic support, etc then they would only have to do that for an added Women's team, no? Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted July 19, 2018 Author Posted July 19, 2018 So there is no way in H#ll that baseball is going to be a sport again at UND other than intramural? Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I'll put better odds in UND adding Men's soccer over reinstating baseball. I'd also argue if the Summit really wanted UND to have baseball they could have said something, or you know... added them when UND still had it and was looking for members? 1 Quote
SiouxVolley Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 UND should mandate a domed stadium as a gift to bring back baseball. Ridiculous to have a sport where you have so few home games. 2 Quote

Expand UND baseball in the summer months outside would work, but the NCAA doesn’t want to move the season. The Pro draft is in early June and most players get positions in summer leagues.
