Serious question.  What if UND didn't fund hockey like it does and hits mens/womens basketball and football at highest priority like rest of nation, and North Dakota, I'm just spit ballin' as most of your host state doesn't follow the main sport of UND like basketball and football is followed.  Would this help sponsorship the more important sports at a higher level and also these sports generate a higher level of funds.

Then UND has indeed reached its pinnacle.  Be happy with what we got and stop all this list bull$%!# because they are already as interested as they will get, Summit League and Missouri Valley drive the bus, in a national value, not hockey my friend. Hockey very finite, basketball and football has always produced more in the state of ND since its inceptioT here is only 1 State of Hockey and ND is 4 or 5 on the list of 7. College sports is a money game and UND is losing.

I've been incredibly critical of UND's leadership, but Chavez has done some really important things the past few years. To start, no, you have to continue to fund hockey at a high level. There's nuance to this. One of the things that was done last year is UND's Football budget increased while UND's hockey budget decreased. Entering the 2026 sports Calander year, both of those programs are on the rise (or in hockey's case, back as a premier program). Key is to continue to increase Football's budget. Cutting both M / W Tennis was another very smart move by the department. In this era of D1 sports, you should not have more than the minimum (still +1 for FCS level). Opening up funds to be distributed to other programs. 

Feels like Football is now getting properly placed with funding or moving in the right direction (along with facilities). Up until essentially last year, it's always felt like Hockey, then everything else. Now it's, hockey + football and everything else. Everyone will have different opinions. I would like to see for example the M-Tennis budget getting funneled into Football while W-Tennis getting funneled into W-Basketball. 

Keep hockey steady, keep increasing Football with minor improvements to M-W BBall.

This is what the road to mediocrity is paved with.
