Folks, this aspect is real. The Summit is keeping its MBB autobid under the "BB plus two other mens team sports" rule. The other NCAA option is "MBB and FB" to be sponsored by the conference. Those "two other mens team sports" have to have 6 members playing for it to count. If the Summit loses PUFW (IPFW? MIC-KEY-MOU-SE?) it's a double shot. Six Summits play baseball, including PUFW. Six Summits (includes two affiliates already) play mens soccer and PUFW is one of those. Lose PUFW and it's a double-shot: You have to find a baseball and a soccer school, ... or go begging hat-in-hand again to the NCAA for another exemption. How do you get out of this conundrum? Well, five Summit schools play football now. Add one and go under the "BB and FB" rule -- Summit League football. If Summit League football is created, who knows what follows.

That’s not a great word to use in any context. Sorry. Do I believe he will epically decimate, functionally obliterate, someone such that it’ll be on the highlight reels and commercials and B-rolls for years? Yup. Think: contact where his linemen give him the pancake of the week award.

EGF has turf like Memorial.

I’d guess it would depend on what message the coaches want to send.

Don't say that too loudly or someone might hear you and get an idea about a mandatory bundle ...

Seems like opportunity!

All the sources I've read say "in a season" which to me includes playoff games. So in the Richmond case, I don't believe that QB would've burned a full year of eligibility for one (post-season) game under this new rule.

Yup. Someone must've been a bull rider before taking up soccer.

Remember: One of the owners of Spicy Pie is former REA general manager Todd Berning. He may know about grinders from his time in Grand Forks.

I never kid about grinders. Turkey and taco meat please, and I'm not a bread snob so just gimme my sammich. Oh ... not that kind ... nevermind ...

Whatever you say, Orville.

I don't envy the munchkins under all those flying monkeys.

What you describe is well explained in the book "Mindset" by Dweck.

Allow me to take your statement and restate what you said: It could happen if someone showed up with a boatload of cash and a long-term endowment.

This article gives no mention other than four games in a season. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/6/13/17460076/ncaa-redshirt-rule-change-2018

I said "or maybe just looking out for itself" ...

Start here.

The BSC was kind to UND (or maybe just looking out for itself) when it said they'd keep UND on the FB schedules for 2018 and 2019. (MVFC in 2020 for UND.)

For the folks that get their knickers all in a twist over this thread, here's the title (key word emphasized): UND and the Big Sky could go FBS Could. @Goon could wake up tomorrow the handsomest man alive* ... *Ain't bettin' on it ... but it could happen.

Well ... it is Kansas, ... Dorothy, Toto, Auntie ... that whole thing.

Our top backs have nothing to prove and reps right now are just more dings. Start the youngin's a-learnin' now so they're ready when their time comes.

BSchloss needs to update his list on his AreaVoices page. I think he's a couple behind.

I would guess that's a lingering remnant of the Big Sky for the next two seasons given that is their primary platform.

Folks, keep it on topic. The personal attacks and name calling are no longer appreciated. So you all understand ... Last general warning. If you're not sure who's saying that ...
