Crookston and St Cloud - dropping football?

[Twincitiesmav]

Yup, taking our talents to the North Star! After talking of cuts and Augie moving on and then that part I couldnt have read fast enough to find out what he was talking about. Moving up in standings, makes sense now. Although, time will tell what all comes from all this change and millions of dollars. Of all sports, football is the most difficult to really range as their are so many factors and players.

Laker, to your point of the conference, I cant believe your want to cast Duluth to the depths like that. Last report they offered the same as Crookston at 18, I believe, but don't know how long ago that was.

Duluth only offers 18?

MSU-Moorhead	16	20

Oof, I was off. This was from that St. Cloud times article from way further back than I thought. But, the basically to go with my comment of splitting based on scholarships, Minot is the cut line for an 8-team league (though this is dated)

Going off of this, if you read into the subtle hints of who else might be looking at the cut, you would think maybe Moorhead and Concordia maybe? They never said it was for sure and I believe we have been told Moorhead has increased their funding so...anyways, just a reference .

I know Winona is at 36 now, MSU looking at 32 and hoping to get to 36. It would be interesting to see an updated version.

SCSU was still at 18. Due to the T9 lawsuit, they weren't allowed to increase the number of scholarships even if they had the wherewithal.

??????UMD was at 22 in 2018 according to the Duluth paper.

Did they have to drop two scholarships due to T9?

Probably. IDK if they ever offered 20. Doesn't matter, I guess ...now they're at zero scholarships ;)

There's a hearing planned Feb. 25 in Tunheim's Minneapolis courtroom about the motion to place the university in civil contempt of the court's permanent injunction.

In the university's appeal of the August ruling, a date has not been set yet for oral arguments in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Interesting and rather unbelievable. Where is the money supposed to come from for to pay those so-called damages? To answer my own question, presumably from the money that would have been spent to continue the football program.

You got it! The plaintiffs and their attorneys want to destroy men's athletics at SCSU. I'm willing to bet that not one member school has a lilly white Title IX record ... be grateful. this isn't happening to your athletic departments.

Could not agree more.
