You may think that hockey at UND is dumb but it’s history is long and it makes sense for them. They just aren’t going to be able to compete with NDSU in football consistently because of it. Also, college hockey has as much national appeal as FCS football.
Our non-football sports are “successful” relative to two of the lowest ranked conferences in the nation? I guess I don’t think we should be hanging our hat on that. My point still remains, football is far more succesful than our other sports and until we balance that out we aren’t going to find an attractive conference and without a conference move in football we are going to continue to stagnate as a program.
Mens basketball
Softball
Track and field
Baseball
All are the most competitive nationally that they’ve ever been during the past 10 years. Arguably all because they’ve seen huge influx of money from donors, in no small part due to the success of the football team. Yes, we’re not done growing them and ideally they’d all be top 100 programs year in/out. But I hardly think this is a UND situation where all the resources go to one sport and then the rest of the athletic department is literally in the bottom quarter in almost every sport nationally.
We’ve pretty much upgraded all facilities to be near state of the art. It’s on them to continue to grow and have success. The stage is set for all non-football sports. We can’t just buy a top 50 basketball program.
I get it Scottie. All these boring posts. And not from your favorite bot.
Well Prayer Bot says let’s go with #2 then. Kinda like liberty. But more like…
NOTRE FUCKING DAME.
There is no other way. NDSU AND THE BISON have NO natural RIVALS.
Except for them.
If we all pray for this. That would be enough to get it done. Enough faith to move this little molehill.
INDEPENDANCE OR BUST. TM
UND is our ONLY RIVAL. TM
F-UND. BISON TO FBS. TM

Blip bloop. (That’s like a malfunction noise.)
