I recommend that you travel south and see if you can't merge ... Clemson and South Carolina Auburn and Alabama Mississippi and Mississippi State North Carolina and North Carolina State Heck, why not even just go for ... Kansas and Kansas State Iowa and Iowa State. Colorado has money issues. Tell them to merge Colorado and Colorado State whilest you are at it. Like I said before, this smells of the Shelbyville monorail (reference: The Simpsons).

If you didn't know that going in, you really are out of your depth.

Folks, this may be the UND Athletics board but there is more to UND than just Athletics. I'd be disappointed if any new campaign didn't address all aspects of UND (students, faculty, programs, facilities).

I stand by my statement here and three posts after that. Tim O'Keefe is one heck of a bowler.

Updated your thought.

You spoke too soon ... Hoe. Leigh. Crap-age.

Techncially, Northern Illinois goes by NIU where Northern Iowa goes by UNI. The person who started this thread got it wrong.

C'mon Mike, you're better than that. Page 2 of the PDF document, O'Keefe's letter, paragraphs 6 and 7. When Tim goes bowling he rolls about 184 of 300.

We UND folks are kinder to the, shall we politely say, "challenged" than other folks may be. It speaks volumes about both groups.

See Page 2, paragraphs 6 and 7 ...

Glad to see another quality forward but ...

The Big Ten commish has already stated that if they needed hockey affiliate members they'd prefer Division I schools, FBS Division I schools* (and UND is FCS). So while I agree with the sentiment that Scott is putting out (the DIs looking out for the other DIs), UND might not be DI-enough in some eyes. * http://boardsroom.blogspot.com/2009/10/strange-bedfellows-why-big-ten-hockey.html

I hear Minnesota is thinking about playing hockey ...

Crazy as this sounds ... when are they going to bring in some defensemen. Before you all jump all over me, hang with me for a second: Genoway, Marto, and LaPoint are in their last years. Blood is a pretty big flight risk after this year. MacWilliam made big strides last year. If he repeats that could he be a flight risk? That leaves Gleason (now F/D), Hill (who won't see much ice), Forbort, and Simpson, with only Nick Mattson in the defenseman pipeline. Assume (only) Blood leaves early, that leaves for 2011-12: MacWilliam, Gleason, Forbort, Simpson, Hill, and Mattson. That's not enough.

I think the key word in there is ... want. They don't want to do any of this. What they have to do is shore up the viability of a conference and correspondingly their programs and budgets.

"This is a dynamic phase in college athletic conference alignments. We anticipate additional changes in conference membership on a national scale for the foreseeable future." -- USU AD "(TCU FB coach Gary) Patterson strongly suggested Wednesday afternoon that "more dominoes" could soon fall, although it is uncertain if he was referring to anything beyond the MWC's addition of the two WAC schools." -- ESPN story

The guy that wrote that ... he's crazy ... like a fox.

Dig deep and you'll see UND's been doing many (unadvertised) things for many, many years. UND wasn't appreciated. And in UND's time of need it was kicked to the curb by Standing Rock. What else to expect from a government that Third World Nations look at and laugh. UND will go on just fine without the baggage of JTA and RHHiT. Success is the best revenge.

Montana alone is not enough to save the WAC given the bleeding it's done so far.
