Probably one of the cheaper sports that can be offered. Soccer seems like a drain on UND's very finite resources with limited (if any) upside. It's not like UND is swimming in financial resources.

UND also doesn't have a facility for locker rooms or coaches offices like they do for women's soccer. Doesn't have the money to build them either. Quote

Even if there was space that could be renovated, that money would be much better spent on a basketball practice facility. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Posted March 27, 2023 I know these "ideas" are far fetched but show me one idea/thing that the Summit League has done in the last 10 years or so to try to grow their brand (and don't say the tourney in SF please)! haha Quote

Agreed. But you have faith in Fenton don't you?! Give him time... he's going to improve the league and I have no doubt about that. Have you listened to his entire interview on that Hot Mic podcast? You would enjoy it if you haven't. Edit: Well, they did finally get UND to join Also UMKC coming back and Oral Roberts as well, and Denver. Lucked out in having IUPUI and IPFW exit. Pretty much lucked into a huge improvement in conference membership. Not that it was necessarily by design. The league is in a good spot for growth though. And I know you don't like the SF BB tourney, but it's an event that sets the Summit League apart from other Low Major conferences, and revenue wise, it probably does well or better than the MVC if you combine Mens and Women. Similar Revs, probably way higher expenses in St. Louis. 1 Quote
