Oh, ... you said BEACONS, not ...

One judge in the ruling said DoEd needs to clarify if they still consider other standards in the 1979 Interpretation of Title IX live. He implies that doing so may That reads to me like if DoEd says three prong compliance isn't enough and they mandate back to the 1979 guidance, the DoEd might get the bill for reinstating. But I'm no lawyer so a misread by me is well possible.

The NCAA has named their Constitution Committee. NDSU's Breciani is on it. (tip cap) But the NCAA then also puts on the president of Robert Morris, the guy who singularly and arbitrarily cut RMU hockey with no public notice beforehand. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/robert-gates-accs-jim-phillips-among-23-members-appointed-to-ncaa-constitution-committee/

I'm no attorney, but in my fast read it felt like the appeals court brought into question much of the "three prong" approach used for Title IX compliance, and I don't mean just here, but in general as they kept going past that to prior documents and guidance and rulings. If this ends up putting "three prong" in question, this could rock college athletics nearly as hard as OU/UT to the SEC.

They lost me at "I. Background", first sentence: I'd say they overlooked the popularity of basketball in the state. And football. And HS girls volleyball.

Get well Troy.

... and there's the little detail that Feeney is left handed.

Team Breakdancing? Synchronized Breakdancing? Doubles Breakdancing? Mixed Doubles Breakdancing? And can we get a "Street Biathlon" of breakdancing and skateboarding where the boarders pop a hop over a breaker in mid ground spin. (Reference "South Park" Season 8, Episode 4 here.)

Saucy!

Wentz? I'd take the money, but I also said NDSU might be the best O-line he'd have for the rest of his playing days and that isn't good for his career health. Better? (Worse?) PHI fans get to keep hating on Wentz ... That 70% ain't happening with foot surgery.

The leagues Bradley has been playing in all sound about one step up from the California Penal league.

Jamal Dixon is taller than I expected, and has a solid handshake for a teenager.

Looks like Flower is a go in Chicago.

Three commits so far on August 1.

Not long ago the board chatter was it'd take about an additional $2-$4 million annually for an FCS to jump to FBS. Where'd that go? It always seemed to come up if @SiouxVolley even thought the letters F-B-S.

It's not the NCAA you worry about; it's a Federal Title IX lawsuit.

I've long said the west needs the equivalent of the east's FBS Mid America Conference*. A conglomeration of the Montanas, Dakotas, and a couple Big Sky teams could've filled that role. But with reorganization happening, who knows if that role will still be there to fill. *EAST is B1G and SEC and ACC, then AAC, then MAC, then rest of G5 WEST is PAC12 and Big XII, then MWC, then < gaping hole here >

Random Factoid: There's a 231 page (page) thread "Bison Fatigue" at the NDSU board talking about and how too much winning has hurt interest. Winning is a good problem to have, but it also numbs the fan base to just expect it and to lose sight of how extraordinary sustained winning or an NCAA championship, any sport, is.

If they were, they were talking to Montana also.
