The Sicatoka

At the time, the question was, "Is NDSU throwing away a fiscally sweet deal by leaving the NCC?" I say the jury is still out.

When I read the Fargo Forum articles I still see a lot of hurdles:

The Argus-Leader of Sioux Falls, South Dakota? Oh please. The irony ....

Show me the legislation (meaning Articles 10 through 23 of the DI Manual) UND is in violation of.

I didn't think a public university could operate via the star chamber code of conduct.

I'm not the expert in these matters, but I do believe some non-revenue sports did continue to play. Then again, NDSU had DI scheduling requirements to meet during its transition that UND (at the time a DII) could not help with, correct?

Former UND AD Roger Thomas' reason for not playing NDSU in football: The NCAA rulebook, namely the negative impact to UND's playoff chances (under the system in place in 2003). "Hard and fast rules" or "hurt feelings of your non-revenue sport coaches". Sound basis for decision made point: Roger Thomas. And don't forget PR bonus point: Buning.

PR point with the average North Dakotan: Buning.

Think: Recruiting tool. Yes, we're in Grand Forks, ND, but your family and friends can watch you from anywhere on the world wide web.

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., Ph.D. I suspect Illinois will be learning that lesson for itself rather than taking the advice.

Vandals.

And Taylor should've thrown an empty whiskey bottle at him!

And "star2city" and I get accused of being delusional ....

When I saw a thread titled "SCSU National Hockey Center, Recommendations" the phrase "air strike" came to mind ...

Coach Lennon says recruiting starts in the back yard and works out from there: Weston Dressler - Yeah, he's OK. Brady Trenbeath - He, not Weston, has most of the freshman receiving records. Brandon Hellevang - He's on pace to break the PK records of some hack named "Jeff Glas". Bobby Stroup - Digger or Eric Schmidt aren't the freshman sack record holder. Ryan Chappell - Phillip who? Moore what? Find the local gems and work out from there to meet the needs.

Only in the 317 area code.

Pardon me, but what does mean exactly? Isn't this a group that develops policy already? How have they done it up to this point? Have they no "process" they follow already for developing or revisiting policy? If they don't have that little, why do they exist? Are they really just a coffee klatch?

Now get out there and skate. Or sit.

Are they going to create an "FSU" or "not on the NCAA list" exemption? Or are they going to say "on campus for in-league (WCHA) games" is enough to get them in the door in all sports?

Question posed: What will it take? Answer submitted: Winning this shift, until there is not another shift to win. Nothing matters but this shift, and winning it.

How about, "How come I wasn't invited?" Worse? What the heck does "I didn't even know what to think, feel or say" really mean? Does it mean this MCC minion can't think, feel, or say (regurgitate?) anything that she hasn't been previously spoon-fed by some "enlightened" advisior? There's good value for the "education" dollar. You mean people of one race can have differing opinions about how their culture can be viewed? And heaven help the host if they hadn't been .... they'd be in the sensitivity re-education camp for years to come.

You can transfer FBS to FCS (DI-A to DI-AA) and not sit a year? That seems wrong if both are "DI".

Wouldn't he have to sit out a year for a DI-to-DI transfer? Seeing how CU redshirted him, going to a DI-AA (FCS) school would cost him a year of on-field play, wouldn't it*? * As I understand the rules, he's burned one of the five years redshirting and he'd lose another of the five sitting out due to a transfer. He'd be left with three eligible seasons. Going to UND right now wouldn't cost him a playing season as he would be transferring to a (transitioning) DII and would not have to sit out a year.

Me and my wacky notions.
