And while it is women's basketball and that attendance is impressive, I don't think that 11,500 sells out the American Airline Center where the game was played (home of the Dallas Mavericks, it seats 21,000+). 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.
