    It's happening.......I just figured it out.

    The money for phase II of the IPF has been whispered to be committed. The reason it hasn't been announced is they are going to announce it in conjuction with NDSU accepting a fb only invite to the Mountain West.

    Guaranteed to happen or your money back!

    That's a pretty cool scoop. You should let Brett McMurphy or Matt Brown know. Or better yet, Matt Larsen.
    I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

    You couldnt have figured it out. You must have gotten the text.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I wouldn't cite our endowment as being capable of much. It is laughably small.

    But yes, we can make things work i would think.

    Last time I looked, and admittedly it was four years ago, not all of UND's women's sports have all the scholarships filled. I believe only WBB and WVB are max'd. They could add balancing scholarships (grants-in-aid in NCAA-speak) to soccer, tennis, softball, ITF, OTF, CC, golf. Is that enough to balance 22 add'l for FBS? I don't know that right now either.

    Update: Joining the Summit UND had to fund women's sports at 85% scholarships allowed minimum per the league I believe.

S&D is fairly cheap now that West Fargo built a big swimming facility. I think it would have everything a DI program needs except for platform diving. Major issue now is that it's already shared by three high school programs(WF, Sheyenne, Horace). Those two sports are likely preferred because they have ready-made homes(Summit). The other choices of rugby, wrestling, lacrosse, etc. all have the problems of extremely few other programs around us. And equestrian is f--ing expensive to run. It would be our own version of UND women's hockey.



    *there have been years where some women's sports like basketball didn't use all the scholarships(coughdumbcough), but the money was always there
    Tennis isn't cheap because you largely recruit internationally. Would much rather see us add Women's Wrestling, Womens Rugby, Women's Lacrosse, or Women's Gymnastics. We would have an instant home in the Big 12 for Gymnastics and likely wrestling when it is added. Plus, let's be honest...we have a pretty good recruiting base in the upper Midwest for tough corn fed women. We would be a force in Rugby.
