Re: REPORT: North Dakota cutting women's hockey
I am really curious how UND thinks they'll be able to pass Title IX cutting two womens programs but only cutting one mens program. There are a few different ways you can be in compliance, but with a roughly 50/50 mix of men and women in the student body and a football program that takes up a lot of resources/roster spots on the male side of things it's hard for me to see how they make this work legally.
I see that UND's golf program was saved thanks to private donations from similar cuts, and with the support the teams hockey program has, I wonder if someone would step forward to support the womens hockey team.
Of course, at this point, even if the program is saved, Its hard to see how it overcomes the damage of today's news, especially with how the team was(n't) informed.
