You also fail to mention that Baylor's campus is under 100 miles away and Texas A&M's campus is 200 miles away. A little closer than the 600 and 1100 miles away that UND and Denver were from Green Bay.
    My bad on the Division 1 schools. I was actually referring to BCS type schools. You know, the BIG BOYS that fools like Virg Foss like to brag about. The ones that formed their own conference to stop slumming with the LITTLE GUYS.

    And yeah, I shouldn't have said sold out about the Women's regional. Still they had 3 TIMES the attendance for a WOMEN'S BASKETBALL game as for the hockey regional final. I thought hockey was SO POPULAR and UND travels SO WELL? Maybe UND does but NOBODY ELSE DOES apparently.

    Seriously, 3,900 plus for a game that decides a trip to the Frozen Four?

    BEMIDJI STATE is a relevant hockey school. The facts speak for themselves.

    We don't need hockey at NDSU. We have a club hockey team. It's fine if UND wants to be Division 1 in hockey and keep their club teams in football and basketball. I'm actually in favor of that.

    Mine Canadien friend! You've really got their breezers in a bunch! Why does the frozen four wait two weeks to commence, eh?
    NCAA D1 Hockey:
    60 teams

    The most popular sport in THE LAND!

    "Oh Canada, our home and native..."
    30 affiliated with D1 football (15 FBS and 15 FCS)
    30 affiliated with D2, D3, or no football
    You're so jealous!
    Let's fight for 0.6 seconds or 5 OTs!

Its $6 Million YEARLY because women's hockey will require the same amount like it or not.
    Hockey will survive without Dean Blais. There are a ton of young coaches who would kill for the opportunity . Money helps but its not a cure all.

    I doon't see what these fellers from the States are so upset aboot! Everybody knows that Canadian sports like Hockey and Lacrosse are the way to go!

    but on a serious note, my friends at UND were insisting that they don't wait two weeks because of the FINAL FOUR but because the Frozen Four is soo intense that they need two weeks to get physically and mentally ready. LOL

    I agree its not relevant outside the midwest. But its huge here and would raise our profile. Our main recruiting area is midwest. Minnesota and Wisconsin know UND. We get a lot of kids from there.

    If it hurts our other sports, mainly football and basketball, im against it. If we can raise the money and dominate other sports im 100% in support of it.

    WAIT???? No NCAA hockey? Obviously espn is a second rate service for not having an entire page devoted to the WCHA, even UND more specifically on espn.com. What a joke! Fox Sports Canada is so much more reliable when it comes to sports!

    Hold on a second? ok.....uh huh,no! You are so wrong! hockey is clearly the biggest sport ever! yeah! Everyone can name more UND hockey players and Minnesota Wild players than they can name TEAMS in any other sport! Yeah! You Bisonvillers are so crazy! To think that hockey is considered irrelevant in American society!?!? Oh goodness, just thinking aboot that gets my breezers in a bunch! That basketball and football business is never going to catch on!

    With who Gabe? Who would it "raise our profile" with? Answer that and you've answered why it really doesn't matter to add the sport.
    Go Bison.

    We live in the midwest, right? We recruit athletes and students in the midwest, right? The WCHA and Big Ten (in future) get a lot of press in the midwest. The Sioux are on TV more than anybody. We would improve exposure in the midwest. How would this not increase our profile?
