Looking back on an article from 2021, there are soccer field lines on the field. I wonder if they decided against it since 2021. In my opinion, playing at Memorial Field seems like a much better place than playing in front of the REA. Unless they asked the soccfer coaches and they said they would rather play on grass. Soccer is always preferred on grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen4sioux Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 20 hours ago, The Sicatoka said: That and the open locker room space. The locker room space WAS the Title IX compliance. The space could and should have been used to expand The Hockey Academy / hockey facilities, but the accomodations had to made for compliance. Zero real or rational justification for wasting that prime space on what should be a club sport at best at UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 My use of "That" was in reference to Title IX compliance. And if you don't think that (Title IX) is important, I'm not sure what I can say to you. It's only Federal law . <-- I don't have to agree with every law and how it's implemented but you still have to follow them ... and/or work to get them changed. And as far as "having the sport", that's on the NCAA. They mandate number of men's and women's sports to be considered DI. Again you don't have to like or agree* with it, but you have to follow the rules. *I'm on record more than once that "sport sponsorship" minimums for division levels is ridiculous --> Play what you and your fan base can and will support, nothing more, nothing less, while staying in compliance with Federal law.

There are three basic parts of Title IX as it applies to athletics: Participation: Title IX requires that women and men be provided equitable opportunities to participate in sports. Title IX does not require institutions to offer identical sports but an equal opportunity to play; Scholarships: Title IX requires that female and male student-athletes receive athletics scholarship dollars proportional to their participation; and Other benefits: Title IX requires the equal treatment of female and male student-athletes in the provisions of: (a) equipment and supplies; (b) scheduling of games and practice times; (c) travel and daily allowance/per diem; (d) access to tutoring; (e) coaching, (f) locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities; (g) medical and training facilities and services; (h) housing and dining facilities and services; (i) publicity and promotions; (j) support services and (k) recruitment of student-athletes.

The fact it is close to what would be better used as additional parking i.e. the soccer field...... was just coincidence. I think a majority of the time title IX has some done very important things, however sometimes the need to be in compliance overrides the best interests of all people involved.

With first pic on overpass (pointed too far the the right), one can see the footings to the left.
