UNDLeafsGuy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Many years ago I heard that UND does NOT get a share of the revenue from the National Tournament because of the fact that we are Division I in hockey only. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? If in fact UND does not get revenue, isn't that alone enough reason to make the move to D-I in other sports?

No way, that $$$ which only comes when we are in the F4 pales in comparison to the scholarship $$$ that is needed to compete in D1 every year.

You are 100% correct in the fact that und as a D-II school does not receive a dime of the revenue from NCAA events(except maybe a percentage of the concession sales). To me that is a crock of horse bleep. As far that being a reason to go D-1 is not a very good reason. To fund a Divison 1 athletic department you are talking some major $$$. My father-in-law is a big time sioux booster and according to him und would need to generate an additional $1M - $2M revenue each year. What und would get back from the NCAA in hockey revenue does not make the sole reason to go D-1 much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Whistler Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 My understanding is that the DII and DIII schools (CC) get their expenses covered. I consider the NCAA policy hostile and abusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Time Hockey Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The NCAA descriminates DIV II and DIV III schools. I feel UND should lead the charge for all other lower division schools and should sue them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
