The Sicatoka

Depends on which river and where on it (meaning flood protected like the Red in Winnipeg).

I have a feeling that this will not be the last we hear of this matter.

Golf course? Nah. I'd rather have a lot in a cul-de-sac with trees and a river defining the backyard. PS - " 2,500-square-foot"? Did they forget to measure and add in the den?

Agree. Agree, as long as "conditionally" means by the process defined in the contract. This is a legislative matter and it did not follow the legislative process for changes. UND argues "no." (From Dec 23, 2005, UND to NCAA correspondence):

Let's recap: PCM brings up a series of articles written by an Illinois partisan, one of which borrows a quote from Tarkanian v. NCAA. IowaBison notes Tarkanian was overturned. I point out that this isn't a "state actor" case but a "contract law" case and that the NCAA Executive Committee may have overreached. IowaBison asks how so I answer. IowaBison points out NCAA constitution 4.1.2 and 2.6. Minor squabbling over POVs ensues. I point out 1.2 (a-h), all of 1.3, and 2.2.2, all of which show that ExecComm may have overreached. IowaBison jumps on the "tribal support" question (and is shown again that Spirit Lake stands by their 2000 resolution). IowaBison, why'd you leave the "contract law" question? And as far as the "support" question, from Spirit Lake Tribe A05-01-041 " ... something positive ... ", though clearly a subjective measure, may be occurring right here, right now, on this board (how's that for suckin' up to the Administrator?):

Well, that's nice, but that's a "principle"; here are the expressly stated purposes of the organization,

I'd guess you're very close given (from June 7, 2006):

Dear God! I think my mind's eye just went blind!

The NCAA constitution is a contract between the NCAA and a member. From UND to NCAA, November 4, 2005, III.B.1:

The NCAA isn't a state actor, but a legal contract between parties must be carried out.

Mario Puzo has already written it.

17 will get you 20. 12 will get you life.

10? 12? I say 12 with a caveat: Only 11 playing football. Why? 12 for BB means: - six pairs of travel partners - 22 regular season games But only 11 playing FB means: - 10 games in conference - 5 home, 5 road There isn't much non-conference game room in that schedule, but it sure would be easy to plan travel expenses year to year.

Make sure you get one of those licenses from "the Government of the United Nations" before you try any of this.

I feel for you ....

I'm declaring victory with this prediction:

What's the tizzy here about coming up with a facilities plan? Having a plan on what you'd build where and in what order (when funds come available) is far different from moving dirt and pouring foundations. And if you aren't a UND supporter, wouldn't UND doing unwise things be better for your cause? Couldn't another school (in a recruiting war) come back with, "You'll be paying for their mistakes with your fees"? Me-thinks some of this protestation is fear that UND may just have the funds available (from yet defined donors) to put some of this plan in action and thus take yet another significant step forward in a facilities "arms race."

From Kupchella's June 7, 2006 letter:

Good cover story PCM, but truth is PCM locks out every channel but BET on his TVs in the summer. He adds Fighting Sioux Sports Network back in each October through March. (We're not sure if the rumors of him being a roadie for Mary J. Blige are true.)

Easy answer: http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?&showtopic=6445

Does everyone realize that under this new NCAA (warm jell-o) stance that United Center in Chicago can not bid on hosting NCAA (hockey, hoop) events because the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks logo is all over that building? I'd guess FedEx Field is in the same situation (home of NFL's Washington Redskins) if they ever wanted to bid on hosting soccer or lacrosse tournaments. I wonder if the management groups of those facilities have "asked" Myles Brand about this yet.

No, no, silly Diggler! The Kupchella quote that's before the reading from the Book of Hrkac: The One True One.

Eastern ND/NW Minnesota try 970 AM WDAY. I sure hope Dr. Kupchella rolls the quote below out again.
