Basketball will always be the Red Headed Step Child at UND whenever it's compared to hockey and football. There's only so many resources to go around I just don't see them ever sitting at the big table with the others. I'm not bashing them, just pointing out the reality of the situation.

We can't win with those numbers.

Noticed the slow loading last night already.

I've got no interest in playing them either. Their fans are total jerks and that's putting nicely.

This is why I'm not a fan of playing poor teams like Long Island and St. Thomas OOC. I know, we need the wins but iron also sharpens iron and I'd prefer playing better teams instead of someone that would struggle in D2.

Minneapolis: 1945 (S), 1952 (S), and 1956 (S). 1945 is supposed to be 1948. The only Olympic events held in 1945 were the hand grenade toss and sniper shooting.

Score anyone?

Maybe it's time to follow St. Cloud and substitute hockey for football.

I can't say that Long Island U and St. Thomas are exactly marque attractions. I know, I know, let's get some wins, but I'm not a fan of this type of scheduling.

If we're going to fork out $23 million to move I'd rather spend it getting to a better conference than the MAC. That's pretty much slum territory.

What has Bill Chaves done in the last week?

That's becoming the problem, money is making things move rapidly. It's going to take extreme amounts of money to do anything in regards to moving up and things get dumber all the time. NDSU and Sac State probably guarantees that no one moves up on the cheap. Look at Memphis offered the Big 12 $200 million for an invite. True they got turned down but still it's money that's being offered. But you are right that the NCAA is letter others make their own rules.

There's only 6-8 quality FCS schools left at best and even the good conferences like MVFC and the Big Sky have a huge variation between the great ones on top and the also-rans at the bottom. I don't see much sense in merging anything. It's going to be the best ones moving up at some point, if they can.

The sad thing is if we want to move up we'll need them to succeed. If they all flat on their collective faces we won't be going FBS. It's not what I like but it's the reality of the situation. Let them iron out the kinks and show what works.

Boy I hope the Vikings never get this desperate again but then it's the Vikings. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/vikings-interested-underwhelming-qb-reunion-214010854.html

They come here because they're miserable and they want to spread the misery. As I said a couple weeks ago their ex players are worse than their fans.

I think there's a limit as to how many gaming licenses are available in GF. I'm sure that heavily regulated as much as liquor licenses. That's why there's such a battle to get those spots.
