Future of UNO athletics


UNO Rules

Recommended Posts

Great Article that should be of interest to you sioux fans. Article state that UNO's athletic budget is the biggest in D2 just ahead of UND. Article also states that this would rank UNO in the top 40 of D1AA. I would assume that the Sioux would also be in the top 40. UNO has truly had a great year in the NCC. Just looking for some feedback from Sioux fans. Best of luck.

UNO Rules

When discussing UND athletic budget, it should be considered that there are really two "budgets": UND's and the REA's. The REA''s is likely $4 to $5 million and is financed largely by hockey ticket sales. (The budgets can not be added together, as some $'s transferred from the REA's to UND's would be counted twice.) But in effect, UND's total budget is much larger than UNO's or most IAAs (and even some smaller IA schools, like La Tech.)

I guess I didn't realize how few mens sports UN-Omaha offers.

From UNOMavericks.com:

Mens: baseball, BB, FB, hockey, wrestling

Womens: BB, CC, golf, soccer, softball, swim & dive, tennis, track, volleyball

For comparison, North Dakota:

Mens: baseball, BB, FB, hockey, swim & dive, CC, track, golf

Womens: BB, CC, golf, soccer, softball, swim & dive, tennis, track, volleyball, hockey

Upon further reflextion, wonder if this article wasn't really a sign / signal (what have you) of UNO seriously considering DI/IAA options for their institution. Consider: (a) UNO's geography and urban base may allow some opportunities soon, that may not be available to other current or former NCC schools, (b) a new AD hired (surprised most everyone),
