I still cant believe they are trying to make hockey a thing, my bro/wife in their st thomas alum survey voted NO to hockey, it'd be nice to see the final numbers, but they didn't release that, they "made a decision based off of that" but I call BS, they have a loud 10% minority that begged for stupid hockey
That 10 % must make up the majority of the big donors.

What they want, they get.

There is no way that the alumni didnt overwhelmingly approve Hockey lol. I mean its possible, but what was the poll question??:
"ok, so we have unlimited money... do you think we should do something cool with it, or nah?"
I wouldnt be surprised if your relatives were the only "no" votes lol
it was pretty generic, but if you're a new D1 member, shouldn't you want to allocate all possible dollars to a better Basketball/Football program? just seems odd.

Especially when Minnesota is saturated with hockey teams and sharing a media market with the Gophers.

Yeah, the more vague a poll question is, the more it is aimed to elicit a specific response.
I agree with you though, if the poll question was "If you could choose one athletic program to have national success, which would you prefer that program to be? Hockey, Basketball, or Football?"- people aint gonna pick hockey.
the more specific a question, the more accurate the responses become.
EXAMPLE: Many people here think this is the only question to be asked in regards to going FBS "dOnT yOu lIkE wInNiNg cHaMpIoNsHiPs?!?!" of course I like winning championships, but thats not the only question that should be asked.
What should be asked:
Do you think the Bison could compete on the field in the FBS?
Do you believe that going 9-2, 10-1 or 11-0 in the FBS provide larger benefits than going 9-2, 10-1 or 11-0 in the FCS?
Do you believe the FCS is a relevant college football brand nationally?
Do you believe there is more to be achieved in the FCS for NDSU?
If so, what specific goals do you believe are yet to be achieved in the FCS for NDSU?
Do you believe we are in a league of our peers, who value athletics at a high level as NDSU does?
Do you believe there is better media exposure for bowl games when compared to the FCS playoffs?
Does another Championship for NDSU provide any new or unique exposure and/or institutional gain that wasn't already achieved with the last 8 national championships?
If yes- what are they?
If not, why are you currently in a subdivision that provides no additional value for winning an additional championship?
Re: St. Thomas to DI-approved
Wanting to be in the FBS and getting a conference to invite you are different things.
