  1. But Gophers and Badgers both fall under the broad headings of "vermin" and "varmints".
  2. {puts on moderator hat} I'm tired of seeing copy/paste of posts from other forums. It stops. Now. Why? http://forum.siouxsp...tion=boardrules No copyright violations. Do not reproduce entire articles, forum posts, or other content you do not own. {takes off moderaor hat} Repeating lunacy makes you a lunatic as well.
  3. I figured he'd use a court appointed attorney because his history says he only does the minimum necessary when it comes to legalities.
  4. And if this really is found to be looped into this whole mess ... Tough as nails DA never charged Sandusky: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/133615093.html And then is found dead: http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/25/case-of-missing-pa-district-attorney-ray-gricar-baffles-police/
  5. I think we may find the answer to this question very undigestable. From my previous link:
  6. Same story, different (direct) source: http://www.nesn.com/2011/11/jerry-sandusky-rumored-to-have-been-pimping-out-young-boys-to-rich-donors-says-mark-madden.html If this is true they'll be building the "Jerry Sandusky Penn State" wing onto Hell for all these people.
  7. Won't happen. Too much money involved, unless they can get Notre Dame to join immediately and stay at 12 teams.
  8. Penn State Hockey: We're not the guys who rape ten-year-old boys, but they're next door.
  9. Academic, financial, or recruitment violations are in the NCAA rules book. The NCAA rule book doesn't cover state felonies like raping minors. However, the board that governs PSU is in full "CYA" mode with letting Paterno and the school president go and I'm sure that's an attempt at a public show that they do retain "institutional control". What PSU should be afraid of from the NCAA is a "review" (spelled: inquisition) of all of their athletic operations under the premise that if they could cover up the Sandusky problem for 20 years what else have they been able to cover up?
  10. Back in 1999, when the obvious heir apparent to Joe Paterno, is told he won't be the next head football coach at PSU, why didn't folks start digging into ... "Why?"
  11. Here are their short-term logo/identifier options (obviously minus one word and a head wearing feathers): http://und.edu/university-relations/branding/_files/docs/licensing-guidelines.pdf
  12. You're probably in the minority on that one.
  13. This year's power play reminds me of the days when I'd hear some folks chant "Decline it!" when UND would get a power play a few years ago.
  14. This isn't an NCAA issue. This is a pattern of felonies and a conspiracy to cover up the felonies. The Pennsylvania Attorney General* should start showing up with cops and 'cuffs and start the perp-walks. *Linda L. Kelly is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and the Duquesne University School of Law. ... The Penn AG is a Pitt Panther, not a PSU? Why'd I just smirk an evil little smirk?
  15. With Idaho apparently hung out to dry, that 11/13 Big Sky alignment is looking pretty smart right now.
  16. Folks, it has to be this way for there to be any hope of retaining the moniker at any point. The power is in the hands of Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe. Either they step up or we all move on. And if they do step up, all the moniker opponents have to take it up with them.
  17. Hardin has a broken leg? What's the problem? He has two ...
  18. I heard there's only one scholarship available and they're looking for a JUCO to make immediate impact when they're playing a Big Sky schedule.
  19. Yup, and that's why it's play ball or get kicked to the curb. The issue here is that the monopoly, the monster, hasn't been stopped and won't stop devouring until it self-destructs. No one will kill it, it will have to destroy itself.
  20. Too many universities are running like city-states and in the process end up with a wrong-headed approach to issues like this. Think about it: a graduate assistant saw this and went to the head football coach and not the police. Seriously? A coach and not the cops? The grad assistant goes to the head coach, who goes to the AD, who goes to the VP of Business and Operations, who goes to the university president. Uh, guys ... that's a felony offense. It's spelled P-O-L, I-C-E. None of you go to the police when you learned of it? Worse? The VP in question oversees the campus police at PSU and he didn't report it to the campus police? I have a simple solution: Campuses should keep their police operations (and keep paying for them); however, the chief of any campus police department should have a different title --> deputy chief of police in the city the campus resides in. Yes, I'm saying campus police should be a precinct of the city police they reside in. The campus cops would then have accountability not to a campus power structure but to the people in the city the campus is in. As this case shows (and unfortunately others I'm sure we can come up with), campus structures aren't always as forthcoming as they should be. Make the campus cops accountable to the greater populace of the area through the city's chief of police. Campuses are not their own little worlds. Quit treating them that way.
  21. No, you're wrong. The NCAA is not a "business". It's a sports monopoly run by left-leaning (university president) idealists. If they ran it like a business they'd go for maximum profits for all units of the business, accounting for local market concerns. Businessmen live in the real world; these guys live in the world they wish for.
  22. According to ND Senate (as of Nov 8, 2011), we won't have to worry about this until Jan 1, 2015.
  23. Al wants one thing: To take power over the universities (I'm looking at you too NDSU) back from the ND SBoHE into the Legislature.
