Clarke Caswell (2024 Seattle 5th rounder, unsigned, WHL, Swift Current Broncos, Brandon, MB native) would be someone North Dakota should at least call to see if he's interested in playing in the NCAA given the rule changes. Of course becomes moot if he signs with Seattle.

leverage? then do summit hockey 4 core 3 affilates... balanced scheduling.... streaming rights.........again.

No way a first year coach wins a national title at UND

Grand Forks’ Ethan Thomas keeps breaking records!

He's probably going to sign with whoever drafts him. It also looks like he played with a pro team in Czechia

I wonder if we are recruiting Adam Benak? Been missing for awhile assuming he is injured.

the summit and the mvfc are not comparable...one is a all sports conf and the other is parking spot for Midwestern football teams from 3 different all sports conference... summit, mvc, and horizon I don't think you know what your talking about.

I heard Augustana is willing to pay UND to come to Grand Forks for this exhibition game because they had so much fun the first go around.

The only leverage we have right now is our football programs. If want the summit to get stronger we use football to make the whole league stronger. I really believe this is what Fenton is doing or at least hopeful. The Missouri valley won't let us in for our other sports. Well then take our football programs out and weaken their football conference.

exactly...^^^^^^^^^^ the weaker the mvc is the more the summit is worth.... streaming rights....

There won't be any better teams in the Summit than there are in the MVFC and no more money either. Leave me out of your pipe dream.

Play Bemidji for the October exhibition.

You take out the Dakota schools how good is the MVFC ? They can use a football league to strengthen the core sports namely basketball by Bringing in the Texas schools from the WAC that want to strengthen their football programs. Or use it as leverage to bring other strong schools into the summit.

First for Schmaltz today too!

It didn’t used to be a problem. We could just get back to moping the floor with them

Not scared of them, just don’t see any benefit to playing them every fricken year. Play them once every two or three years max.

Dirty little secret....big companies love regulations...even pushing for them! Increases the barriers of entry for new players/competition.

There is no real money in FCS.

money

Would someone tell me why anyone would want Summit football? We're in the MVFC, which is way better than the Summit ever will be. If we aren't happy with the MV we should have stayed in the BSC.

Kind of reminds me of all the environmental regulation statements that companies require you to have when you supply them product. Really nothing but fluff, but the optics make them look better or feel better about themselves. A lot of extra work for a statement that holds very little weight.

Heard another thing on one of the CHN blogs. Carle talked about how the BC guys with the program were all teasing Zeev two years ago when he was going to Denver alone and they were going to win all these titles together at BC.

Under the table payments probably still happen too. Not sure how often it would happen in hockey but it most certainly is still the case in football
