Unless we can raise a f&$! load of money, its a terrible idea. But in a perfect world if we could raise a f&!# load of money, and by a f&!# load I mean enough to increase funding to all sports………….. .

An homage to Forge Marlin, Nice!

I also notice that the last word didn't need to be auto corrected. An homage to Izzy, I presume.

Even auto correct didn't think tits belonged on the list. It's such a friendly word. Almost sounds like a snack. New Nabisco tits!

I like hockey, fun sport to watch live but here are the issues.

1. Women's hockey: Garbage sport that nobody wants to watch and is extremely expensive. Title 9 basically means it has to be added. You know the top dogs in hockey will want to do full cost of attendance, that means you are paying that out to the women as well. Making it even more expensive then it currently is.

2. UND: Hockey is their everything, they have a beautiful arena, tremendous history and are in a premier conference. All the hockey and casual hockey fans around here support them and the only way to turn them is to win at a high level. NDSU playing in the WCHA and hosting games at Scheels will look second rate in comparison. Maybe if you are MSUM being that is ok but that is not ok for me. Being a hockey power in this region would cost barrels of money and it would have to come from somewhere even with a few wealthy donors backing the program.

3. Flexibility: We add hockey and we are devoting all this money and resources there. I think those resources are better served enhancing the sports we have, I would much rather be great at what we offer athletically without hockey instead of mediocre across the board with hockey. Lets the G5 and upper FCS merges, football will need more resources to compete....you want to hamstring the program with a hockey ball and chain it has to drag around?

I will say again I like hockey and there was a time when I wanted NDSU to add it but that time has come and gone. Back when the WCHA was the premiere conference I thought it was a doable idea if they would let us in. But so much in college hockey has changed and it isn't really enticing to be a start-up unless you have big money backing you and a top conference that wants you.

Basketball should be our niche after football, let the others have hockey.

Very nice post. NDSU would only get in the WCHA, which is practically all D2 teams playing up. It won't be acceptable to be in a lower level league compared to UN_.
