    Money (television revenue, or collapsing state budgets) will be changing the landscape of college athletics markedly over the next five years.

    Read my signature. It's a clue ...

    I'm not advocating fighting by any stretch, but Hennessy was probably right: If they'd have let Mario "resolve" the differences with Marvin it would have been over and done. Instead, every open check on Marvin was taken and finished and that just raised the ire of other doggies. PS - Which 1970s porn star did Hepp steal that lip fur from?

    Yup. If they leave the NCAA there won't be much left because they generate the majority of fan interest and revenue.

    What's FCS (DI-AA) when you have data like this in FBS (DI-A) from spring 2009: There's that massive of a gap in FBS football. FCS (DI-AA) doesn't even register.

    How you measure "costs" may not be the same way other measure "costs". The cost of one year of no conference, how's that compare to the costs of a moniker/logo transition? Courts, turf, uniforms, signage, ... (on and on and on) ... have we ever heard that number? I'll trust UND Admin to smartly measure and weight the costs.

    One year, much less nine more months, in the 127 year history of UND is not "make or break". I'll be patient enough to let this play out fully (Nov 2010). PS - When's the last time UND Basketball or UND Football garnered secondary coverage in a eight-page spread in SI? As much as some may choose to downplay it, hockey does garner UND national and international exposure. The next two weeks in Vancouver will continue that theme.

    When he's been refuted and beaten he adopts a new technique and accuses the other of being the one doing it. He actually has the techniques of internet "debate" (and I use that term horribly loosely) down exceptionally well. The latest example is claiming "strawman" against me when in reality he's pulling a strawman: I asked about "non-revenue or Olympic" events and he brings up basketball (a revenue sport).

    No, I'm more Doc or Grumpy. Sometimes I'm Sneezy or Sleepy.

    I have faith in the ability of man to adapt and improve his ways given proper guidance and opportunity. Of course in that statement is the tacit assumption that we're not dealing with one of the 1000 monkeys at 1000 keyboards attempting to write a Shakespearean drama.

    Basketball is a revenue sport. I said non-revenue. The phrase "non-revenue or Olympic" in a collegiate sporting context infers not football, not basketball, and in select cases not hockey. So, in that context, when and which? I'll help you recall by mentioning all of them. Olympic or non-revenue at NDSU: Men - baseball, track, cross-country, golf, wrestling Women - soccer, softball, volleyball, golf, track, cross-country (Revenue: football, MBB, WBB) Olympic or non-revenue at UND: Men - baseball, track, cross-country, golf, swimming and diving Women - soccer, softball, volleyball, golf, track, cross-country, tennis, swimming and diving (Revenue: football, MBB, WBB, MHockey, WHockey <-- hold comments please, I know)
  14. The Sicatoka
    When's the last time you attended a non-revenue or Olympic sporting event at UND or NDSU for that matter?

    Did someone say Garrett Clarke?

    The superconferences are flexing their muscles. No one should be surprised. I predict that if this doesn't re-establish their "top dogs" place at the table, the logical outcome is mentioned by a Duke A-AD here: http://forum.siouxsports.com/index.php?sho...amp;#entry21017

    We have this new, secret plan to install something called a "furnace" in certain key sod huts and tin shacks used during recruiting visits. We'll try it, but I'm not sure this "furnace" thing isn't more than a fad. (Rumor has it Coach Muss may try to put a "furnace" into his horse-drawn buggy. That's just plain crazy talk I'm sure.)

    To me, 'DAY-AM radio is not as good of a deal as the far-and-away radio market leader KFGO. However, getting WDAY-TV off of its love-fest with NDSU may open up time for more WDAZ-TV stories on UND to air in the southern valley.

    Please follow the link and discuss there. Thank you. http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18768

    My apologies for confusing the annoying broadcasters.
  21. The Sicatoka
    You can use http://www.radio-locator.com to look up the "footprint" of various radio stations.
  22. The Sicatoka
    I agree with everything that you said except the bolded part: FCS (national) deal > Midcontinent Cable (regional) deal >> statewide television.

    MplsBison: In case you missed it the first time, and apparently you did: That's strike two (and the umpire has early dinner reservations).
