The decision of the University of North Dakota to preserve sports was a solid win, albeit one with a lot of work ahead.  One thing that was vital was the advance warning Head Coach Chris Maiello provided.  In conversations with other Olympic sports organizations there is a growing fear that the Spring of 2017 could be a frightful one for our sports.

In order ahead of this crisis, we began conducting threat assessments for all Division I programs, including those that have been eliminated recently.  THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN STARTLING.  Of the top twelve teams identified as being at risk, three have already been eliminated.
