So my "complete a pass/throw to a teammate" theory works for everything except womens rowing ... unless you consider throwing the coxswain into the water after a win a 'throw' ...
-
What about swimming?
Swimming is like golf or tennis: You may be on a team, but you compete as an individual. Same for track and cross-country.
Not the official way to think about it, but I think of team sports this way: Can you complete a pass/throw to a teammate during play?
Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, water polo, soccer, volleyball? Yes.
Tennis, golf, skiing, swimming, diving, wrestling? No.
I think the NCAA does it this was so a school can't have but one mens tennis player or one wrestler and claim to have a "team".
Team sports should mean a roster of team players (see FB, BB, hockey, etc.)
-
How many teams have Golf? Wouldn't that count as a team sport?
Nope. Golf is played as individuals. Same for tennis.
I don't have the full list but some of the team sports for men are baseball, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, mens volleyball. and water polo (and of course football).

A conference must have seven active Division I members that sponsor men’s and women’s basketball and the conference sponsor a minimum of six men’s sports and six women’s sports.
NOTE: A conference must have 6 teams to sponsor a sport (I think?).
http://www.ncaa.com/...t-wac-auto-bids
I believe that the limiting factor is going to be Men’s sports because most schools do not sponsor a wide variety of men’s sports. The WAC sponsors 7 men’s sports one more than required. They are:
Baseball, Basketball, Cross-Country, Golf, Tennis, Indoor Track and Outdoor Track.
The catch is to be a conference on the mens side you have to play FB and MBB or MBB and two other mens team sports (for example, baseball, soccer).

Just when you think the situation at Penn State couldn't get any uglier ...
-
It looks like part of the north end zone has gone in.
-
A guy like Mathieu is going to stick close to his hometown (New Orleans).
Nothing more to see here.
Move along.

C'mon folks. Any place that will let Jerry Sandusky be a predator for a decade has to have some "Enron accountants" around to make things "look right" too.
(That's the beauty of the Penn State situation: They've proven to be untrustworthy so we can freely assume the worst of them.

Walk into a bar on a Saturday afternoon or evening in small town ND in Sep/Oct/Nov and what's on the televisions? ESPN college game. ABC national college game. Maybe the SEC game on CBS. Sometimes Notre Dame on NBC. And maybe one set will have NDSU or even sometimes (gasp!) UND football.
Walk into a bar on a Friday or Saturday night in small town ND from Oct to Mar and what's on the televisions? UND hockey.
And it doesn't always have to be small town ND, just some town in ND.

For some reason I just like this smilie.
Maybe it's the action.
Maybe it's the color scheme.
Maybe it's the combination of both.
Your thoughts, Johnboy?

There's a difference between having your name on everything in sight and being a world-regarded medical institution.

Is Sanford going to put their name on everything?
-
Part of me wonders if they aren't holding off on filing petitions because they didn't get the signatures (about 27000) to file for November.
-
Well, we won't be looking at a state constitutional amendment vote in November.

I tend to read Alumni Review magazine (and the UND Foundation annual statements) with an eye for names I recognize.

When did Mr. Obama play hockey for UND?
The "former players" thread has returned to that discussion.
Thank you.
(And yes, before anyone says it, I'm guilty for a portion of the derailment.)

OK. There's the request. And a political link (which is against the forum rules).
Folks, back on subject. Only warning.

How quickly they forget the words "NAIA Montana Tech".

American kids need to cut back on pop culture and sports and focus on a technical education and a career that will be productive or the good old US will continue to be in serious trouble competing in this world.
FTW.

Why? They are not here under one.
Good for you for knowing since I doubt most others here would. Now though what is the problem with it?
The problem it is this: That it exists at all.
The US is not developing enough home-grown, US citizen, STEM graduates to fill the demand of US business and industry. This is undermining our technological and economic advantages in the world. (The H1B was created so US business could fill those high-paying positions with non-US citizens.)
All the US seems to develop lately is ... lawyers.
STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

was darrin looker (sp?) the pa guy at rea a candidate?
Looker? Have you heard him do the womens games? Maybe I'm spoiled by years and years of Hennessy, but ... pass.
I can honestly say I missed Dan Hammer doing UND Football. I'm glad he's back.

In other words, engineers.
Math. Physics. And yeah, engineers.

Here, what is an H1B Visa and the problem with it? No you can not Google it. So in Frank's intro class who would know what an H1B is?
It is a work visa for workers with technical skills. No, didn't search it and no, not an attorney.
If you took the majority of your classes in Upson, Witmer, and Harrington, tests normally were about taking the concepts and principles you were to learn and applying them to problems you hadn't seen or considered before.
What do NCAA sanction mean to Penn State Hockey future?

Please correctly refer to the problem as "Penn State" or PSU.
I'm pretty sure Ivy Leaguer U of Pennsylvania (i.e. "Penn") wants nothing to do with this disaster in State College, PA.
PS - We don't like it when folks mistake UND for NDSU either.
