What's up with all the secrecy in Sioux land? Little or no reporting on the fb team (progress, injuries). If WDAZ accounced a job was offered great but to who? The sports media in gf is so cowered by UND that's it not funny.

Thank you for your concern. UND has taken note and will seek to pacify you at their earliest convenience.

I don't believe hockey experience, or lack there of, is a major player in the search for UND's new AD. College athletics, in my experience and opinion, does not change that much from football to basketball to volleyball to hockey. Sure the sports couldn't be more different but the management and administration of the programs are the same.

That being said, not all programs get the same attention from administration, nor should they. I think UND administration should pay more attention to their "non-revenue" sports but the fact remains the hockeys, basketballs and football will receive the majority of the attention.

A good AD would understand all of this as it is common sense within college athletics.

Limiting the search to applicants who have experience with NCAA hockey would limit the field to candidates from only about 50 some schools, the majority of which would come from University's that have nothing in common with UND or Division I institutions.

I don't believe it was ever insinuated that the search be limited in such a way, but it may have warranted being a "preferred" qualification--just as coaching experience was. But it's now a moot point. Bringing it up at all was simply my none-too-subtle way of backing a Rob Bollinger candidacy...
