With the instant success of many of these new D1 programs, and the overflowing D1 level talent with not enough teams to support them all, and now even more talent flowing in to displace even more D1 level kids, how many new D1 program could we see pop up over the next 5 years? 
 

And honest question, is or should NDSU be considering it? If they were agressive enough and wanted to dominate UND at  yet another sport, I’d be willing to bet they could have a consistently stronger hockey program in place within 5 years if they wanted to. The money, the media, the fan support, the airport, and the Scheels rink already in place (until they build their own)…it could easily be done. What better time than now while UND athletics are on their knees in legitimately every single sport, even hockey. I’d unfortunately have to put my money on NDSU over UND for long term success of a hockey program due to being able to win essentially every aspect. Like it or not, crazy talk isn’t so crazy now days since things have changed so fast and I’d be surprised if there isn’t at least a little consideration happening

The NDSU FB power structure will fight that tooth and nail.

but the death of FCS football and the lack of an FBS invite (that will never come imo)...they might pivot and at least look at it....a sport you can actually win varsity natty's and not jv natty's.

They don't seem very concerned about it.

i think they are...attendance is down...their fanbase is bored with incarnate word and wofford (and sodak and nodak too).....and i don't think a call is coming from the mwc or the mac....

Since football and basketball seem to basically be off the table for growth at NDSU, I would like them to look into hockey. I don't see FBS ever happening, and basketball as a low major is done. It seems impossible to retain players. So not sure whether it is worth pumping more funding into that when the results are going to be the same. Regular trips to Frisco and a plausible but unlikely chance at being a low seed in March Madness.

I don't think you'd ever see NDSU be consistently better than UND in hockey. Maybe stretches here and there. I do think a base of support would emerge pretty quickly.

That is just for the job opening that they essentially already have the replacement hired. @The Sicatoka nailed it with a couple of the requirements pointing to a specific person. I’m hoping they go with a broader search for the other assistant opening. Maybe after the ncaa tourney is over to get some more applicants.
