NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Look at what UND spends on hockey. Wheres the money going to come from? Then you have title 9 issues you are going to have match for a womens sport. Wheres that money going to come from? Now look at the current budget restrictions and cuts. It would be political suicide to add lets say mens and womens hockey while job openings arent being filled, people are taking early retirement, department responsibilities are being consolidated etc etc etc.
You know UND just did something similar as a committee actually recommended that they NOT cut any sports and asked for MORE money while they are being directed to cut 1.3 million.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
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.

FBS football and increase our coaching salaries in FB and BB also need a IPF and a new FB stadium before adding fricking hockey.
I think the biggest thing is to continue to increase budgets in all of our sports.
If we want to be a competitive mid major in basketball , we need to spend like a competitive mid major. That means paying our head coaches closer to a million bucks like they do at UNI and giving them bigger recruiting budgets and resources. Sick of coaches leaving for better opportunities and fans being happy about it.The Shac is nice by the Summit League standards but if we want to really wow recruits, we need to blow them away. One basketball player can make a world of difference. And being in a smaller conference and in a remote part of the country... We need that wow factor. As nice as the Shac is now it's still not going to blow them away. More money needs to go into it.
Same with football. The dome is nice but an IPF will impress them. But if you want to blow them away take it up a notch. Same with our locker rooms. The lockers now are functional. Standard upgrades will be nice but we want blow their minds type awesome. Sick of coaches leaving for money. If we pay big time it will be a career job not a stepping stone.
Once we get to that level we can talk hockey IMO

I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

I'd burn my diploma if NDSU ever added hockey.
I want nothing to do with this expensive niche sport.

Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.
I believe you meant, Women's Hockey is a financial drain. Consider this, if NDSU football goes FBS, we will have ZERO sports on campus capable of winning a national championship. Let me repeat, NDSU will no longer be able to win a national Championship. That's a tough pill to swallow for an institution and alumni base that is accustomed to it. For that reason alone I hope we look at Hockey someday.
Football at FBS: Boise State type status which would be awesome.
M&W Basketball: Ceiling is probably a Sweet 16
Softball: Ceilling is probably a Super Regional but since we have done that perhaps a College World Series
Wrestling is the one sport where we are likely to see an individual national championship.
Rest of the Olympics? Very unlikely
Lastly, imagine the epic anguish and butthurt from GF if NDSU ever made it to a Frozen Four in a year when UND didn't.
