The first response of the University of North Dakota administration to the need for budget realignment was to cut sports, not academics. Story here. The faculty had just demanded more transparency about sports subsidies, here.
Cutting these mens sports at UO would save about $4M a year, depending on how you apportion the Ducks unallocated expenses.
And if UO tore down that tacky PK Park, we could get the Em’s back to a rebuilt Civic Stadium.
