GeauxSioux Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The official UND DI transition webpage. I just found it. (Haven't read it.) Thanks, but are you sure UND is moving to Division I? I'm sure there are still some people that think Kupchella is bluffing. Hold'em (AKA JBB) for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksioux Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I was disappointed with these excerpts: The North Central Conference has been dwindling to the point that it will soon have to be recast. Other NCC schools have actively been considering a move to Division I. Some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aff Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Who wrote that thing? Is that an informational page or something written by the same guy that did some of Lenin's work about the proletariat? Seriously: # Our strategic plan calls for UND to be moved securely into the top 100 colleges and universities by all measures. This would logically include athletics, which we have long considered a co-curricular set of activities for our student-athletes. # There may well be some positive increase in visibility—even though we have long been, and still are, a national Division I power in hockey. Any increase in visibility will help illuminate the academic and research excellence already established at UND. Seriously, it sounds like a cheer leader wrote that. My favorite part of the whole thing is that while there is amazing confidence in everything, not a single solid number is given for anything. Even the part about "How many scholarships will this require?", is responded to with a paragraph with out a single number. Whats the problem here, just say it, don't tell me about how "Many Division I schools aren't fully funded". What do other schools have to do with the question "HOW MANY SCHOLARSHIPS WILL UND FUND". Nothing. And what is the measure of "Top 100" in athletics? Thats really an interesting phrase, since you can't possibly count football as being in the top 100 while in DI-AA. If thats the goal, shouldn't UND be going D-IA in football? Seriously, thats a terrible page. All they need to complete it is a pop up asking for donations to the athletic department.

ScottM Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 You will visit this site and learn many divine truths, you and your dog, 'SU lovin' friends. Linky "They think we are retarded - they are retarded." "After we finish defeating all of those animals we will disclose that with facts and figures." "They are not in Najaf. They are nowhere. They are on the moon. They are snakes in the desert..." As an aside, I think many of those comments could be used to reflect the NC$$ too ...

southpaw Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 pretty positive there isnt a womens sport that is 1AA. 1AA/CS is only football. i'd imagine he knows that... but saying iaa is a lot easier than saying division 1 schools that play d1aa (wait, no fcs) football i think that most people posting in this thread know that the 1aa title means all sports but football are fully d1.

I-A schools average only 80 scholarships for men when they give out 85 for football only? Is that suppose to be Div. I-AA or is it a collection of all DI schools, no matter their football designation? Also are DI-AA non scholarship programs involved in the Average Expense category?
