Picture I saw had Oshie and Burgum in the background.

I don't care where they come from. I care where they're going together as a team.

Why's it seem every GF team has a Bina, Marto, Burris, and Kunz?

NDSU's six-year campaign that ended in 2023(?) was target $400M and final $586M.

I thought that VD was there to prevent pregnancies and ... VD.

Control what’s yours to control.

The outside is all noise. The straight Schmidt and nothing more.

Brad Berry's contracts ran from July 1 to June 30. https://www.scribd.com/document/555597277/Brad-Berry-UND-contract-ends2023 Section 2.c is recommended reading for @Blackheart, @MafiaMan, and @Oxbow6. Surely that clause is in the deal that followed, that he's being bought out of.

Deal in plausible scenarios. Augie added hockey, not full DI, because that's what they could afford. Augie is more "Duluth/St Cloud" than "St Thomas". This is about adding the Texas Trio: UT Arlington*, Tarleton St, and ACU. *no FB

From Hero Sports link: Automagically.

... but now where the xDSUs and UxDs have influence, Summit, they can add members AND new members are automagically in the MVFC. See how today's "loss" is setting up tomorrow's voting majority?

Can you count votes? The MVFC includes 10 institutions: Illinois State, Indiana State, Murray State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State*. 6* vs 4 *YSU knows how its bread is buttered

Shane Pinto on line one for you.

It's a curiousity that Smaby's Waterloo (USHL) and Malone's Oshawa (OHL) are each in league finals. Between that and Bryn Chyzyk's resume as a USHL GM, and CSC and Trupp coaching with Muskegon in the USHL finals, the next generation is ready to take the reins.
