Compliment? No. Not disparage? Yes.

Where is the Grand Forks Region Economic Development Corporation? Where is this partnership?

Agree.

I'm having a Monday on a Tuesday.

Mafia gave a tell in the "Early Departures" thread with Agent J and his flashy-thingy. Old school, meet new school. New school, old school. Be sure to use headphones for the full effect.

I said it once; it bears repeating: Brad E. Schlossman @SchlossmanGF UND's goaltenders next season will have a combined 43 minutes, 19 seconds of college experience, all by Cam Johnson.

Folks, the Herald is reporting McIntyre will sign with the Bruins. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/3743238-und-hockey-zane-mcintyre-turn-pro Per the rules, it seems entries to this contest are now closed.

Exactly. NDSU is at 282 men, 129 women now. They'd add 28 mens hockey players to make a round 300 mens, and then add a couple dollars to their volleyball assistant coach salaries and say they've done wonderful things for womens athletics.

Does UND Aviation want to be known as the ... bad landers.

Yup, that explains the vote. 59 hockey schools: 10 primary benefactors, 49 not so much.

Nicely played.

I wuz speekin da Midwestahn so use-ed wood getz it. Remumbaz, I waz da guy whoos suggests "Da Mafia" as a noo name fuh use-gize. < /New York accent >

The story is "facility availability". I believe it. Mafia told me he was going to Amalie Arena (Tampa) to catch Monday's Bette Midler concert and then the Tuesday MON@TB game.

I got your good bingo right here. < /New York accent >

You must be speaking from your collegiate experiences. There's a little more to it when it comes to UND's ABET accredited online engineering degrees (chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, petroleum).

I defer to anyone who knows those details.

To jdub's point, two full-time students: Student A: 14 credits of online coursework 1 credit mandatory on-campus lab Student B: 14 credits on-campus 1 credit general ed req's class to fit schedule Both under the NDUS way of reporting the numbers are considered "on campus but takes at least one online class". I'd rather see the credit hours breakdowns (per category of student).

Disclosure statement: Another poster helped me sift through and interpret/understand some of the nuances in the numbers. I'll leave it to them to self-disclose if they so choose.

Troy Hanson? Why? He's not going to major juniors (considered a professional league by the NCAA). He's going to a Canadian college, right?

The rules already are in place: - FBS to FBS you are ineligible for a year - FBS to FCS you are immediately eligible - if you have your degree and eligibility left, you can start grad school wherever you choose

And I stayed away from this ... until now. The Forum editorial board really believes that the Legislature, that couldn't get it done in Indianapolis in face-to-face meetings with the NCAA, who are the ones who instigated the ridiculous "cooling off period", the same folks who adjourned before dealing with a bill on state employee health benefits so they could avoid immediate controversy and yet go to special session (another "committee formed" anyone?), would be doing any better? The track record clearly indicates otherwise.

I know this'll be crazy talk, but what if a kid wanted to transfer because he changed majors and the school he wants to go to is the best in that field? Coach: Nope, you can't go to the best < college major here > school in the country because you might chuck a pigskin for them too! < banjo music here >
