As a pubic entity, UND and its employees do have the responsibility to tell everyone what they knew and when they knew it.

And you still haven't enlightened us with what you know.

Who pulled what? Some of us stumbled upon some unflattering information and tried to quietly pass it to UND so it would be fixed before it was discovered by "other parties". Trying to get UND to clean that up is the opposite of trying to "get" someone. It was trying to protect UND and the hockey coach.

It's expected. So why aren't they performing to expectations? There's the frustration.

In a word: No. Section 3, Rule 9.6.

A reasoned and reasonable guess. I like it. But universities are not allowed to have any part of or control over NILs. Wouldn't UND's use of the word carry significant power over the NIL revenue stream? Would that be "control"? It'd be one for the lawyers to hash through.

Will they go with grey helmets too, like VGK?

Let's keep the ASUN-WAC stuff over in the realignment thread. Thanks. https://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/16061-conference-realignments-take-2/

You seem to have the passion. Get on it. What's your NIL group going to be called?

Since they won't tell, let's guess! My guess: NODAK LLC acquired NODAK to give to UND as a name for ... the hawk mascot. It was going to be a way to help everyone finally "embrace the bird".

Many at the CSNBBS reclassification/reorganization forum point out that alleged "WAC eternal" loophole was closed a couple years ago.

Quite the rogue's gallery, and not in a good way.

There were only people who cover sports there. (Yeah, that was a thinly-veiled slam.)

I'll go one better: Most of the half-dozen or so who knew were working "backchannels" or "contacts" into UND to give them a heads-up to clean it up so there'd no issue to find.

Yup.

Where's @SiouxVolleyat a time like this? Using the WAC as a vessel to FBS was one of his visions. RIP @SiouxVolley

They have some major hurdles: And as a single-sport they won't be recognized as an FBS conference. They won't meet 20.02.9 of the 2022-23 DI manual.

The reaction to Port's reporting on a TM and who owned it was received as if it were by some quarters. Why? If it's all innocent and explainable why is no one at the microphone explaining what happened.

If you purport this you must be able to complete it. Go ahead. We're listening.

It has nothing to do with "ears"; it has to do with forum guidelines: no profanity. You agreed when you signed up.

< joke here about potentially doing as well from GF as guys there in person >

I’m not a lawyer, but how do you maintain confidentiality on work that is all public record (forming LLC, registering TM).

Friendly reminder that K-zoo and WMU are in the EASTERN time zone so Friday is 6 pm Central and Saturday is 5 pm Central. Adjust your pre-game 'rituals' accordingly.

I wonder if the words Shane and Pinto came up.
