I can understand SV's vision of better western alignments by academics via athletic conferences. It makes sense. For example Idaho >>> SUU academically. And SV is correct in that presidents make the decisions and ADs are directed to act and may not always be in the know until directed. All that said, 'paw is correct in the assessment that there are a lot of moving parts here and no seals have failed*. Allow me one observation of my own: If the northern tier of the BSC were to jump to say an FCS Summit you'd need an emissary, a bridge between the western group (UI, UM, MSU, EWU, WSU) and the Summit group (UxDs, xDSUs, UNO, DU, **). That bridge? Well ... seems to me that UND's AD is formerly the AD at EWU. *That's a way of saying nothing has leaked so far. **See my post on p199 of this thread saying this group would need one more BB-only school to make 9FB/12BB.

I wouldn't say a new "dead fish wrapper" but if the news sources (local radio stations and weekly news papers) from Devils Lake to Bemidji and Roseau to Hillsboro banded together like the NewsDakota does for the Carrington, Jamestown, Valley City, Oakes part of the state I'd say they have something. http://www.newsdakota.com/

Looking at it again it seems the 90 yard run by 33 was a “paint run”: if he’d have been covered in paint no Sac players would’ve needed to wipe their hands.

Talk about a win where the coaches have yelling material for Monday. Yeesh. And this getting by despite special teams must change.

When did Ft Wayne get a football team? UND just hit the kick to make it 7-0. Wait wait wait ... it is football, just not that football.

We really need Tucker Poolman to be called up. We're short on D.

Who butters YSU's bread? I'd guess the MVC teams moreso than the Summit.

There's only one way Augie makes sense and that's in a 12 BB / 9 FB conference alignment. I say that because that's optimal for scheduling; you get 22 conference BB games and 8 conference FB games. But I believe Augie'd drive away Fort Wayne, WIU, ORU. So, in that Summit world I'd see the "I-29 Six": UND, NDSU, SDSU, Augie, USD, Omaha.I'd see Denver staying. RIght there is 7BB/4FB. So you'd need 5FB and 5BB. And preferably in a geographic cluster. How about ... Idaho, Montana, Montana State, EWU, and Weber State? DU would be part of the western cluster. There's 12BB/9FB. Done.

MVFC teams' (10) primary conferences: Missouri Valley: 5 Summit: 4 Horizon: 1 There's your answer.

As wonderful as the MVFC may be, the loss of the Summit BB autobid would be devastating. Summit League sponsored football is possible if the schools see the need and have the will. The Summit historically doesn't see "needs" until they are staring them in the face.

The Summit has a vicious problem starting at them: Lose Fort Wayne and lose the BB autobid (because you take a double hit: you no longer have enough baseball or mens soccer schools). Lose Western Illinois and lose the BB autobid (because you take a double hit: you no longer have enough baseball or mens soccer schools). The same goes for Oral Roberts and Omaha. Yes, any of those four schools jump ship and the BB autobid goes away. Any of those four cut baseball or mens soccer and the BB autobid goes away. Fort Wayne would jump to the Horizon the heartbeat they were invited. Western would go to the OVC just as quickly. And Oral Roberts would have to at least ponder a conference that didn't involve the Dakotas in months ending in Y. The Summit would be well-served to bring football in-house and thus eliminate the need to sponsor soccer and baseball to keep the BB autobid (as football would serve in their place). The Summit will have five FCS schools come fall 2020. It just takes one more (assuming Western still in).

It would seem reasonable, but you can only pick it once in a string (just like a player) would be my assessment.

Per the settlement UND must 'retain the rights' to the old nickname and logos. To do that they must use them from time to time. Making, wearing, and selling legacy jerseys meets that criteria. Nothing to see here other than meeting contractual obligations and keeping NCAA lawyers at bay. PS - Notice where the money from the jersey auction is going ...

Nope. Per the settlement UND must retain the rights to the old nickname and logos. To do that they must use them from time to time. Making, wearing, and selling legacy jerseys meets that criteria. Nothing to see here other than meeting contractual obligations and keeping NCAA lawyers at bay.

The problem with solar and wind is they may not be producing when the demand for energy is there. Better battery storage technology, to store the energy produced at peak production times for later use during peak demand, would be a massive leap forward.

I’ll take the over.

Is that really brown or just terrible filtering on the camera.

Asked for his take on the game, UND hockey legend Watzisnaem "Perky" Sparko said, regarding UMary and the Bison goalie, they "meg hem luk az siv".

Can't be. Neither "triple" nor "reverse" can be heard.
