Where would you slot them in, under "UND Sports" or "Community"?
Are you considering retirement of two of the forums under Community (i.e. Transition to DI and Sioux Name)?
If we're considering a reorg and a remap we should look at everything.

The sports section banner in Bismarck Tuesday: http://bismarcktribune.com/sports/college/und-football-ready-for-big-sky-conference/article_82673838-cfc0-11e1-96e5-001a4bcf887a.html

The words "lack of institutional control" should terrify folks in State College, PA, and Missoula, MT.
When, where, and how the NCAA chooses to wield them is anyone's guess.

In a way I wish UND's sky was green and the lettering and mountains were black and white.
Why?
The sky turns green just before you are thrashed by an unstoppable force.

This is the first time I can recall a July day that the most traffic on the board is in the Football forum.

The list in question is the 122 QBs projected available for the 2013 NFL Draft.

If my eyes are seeing things correctly, Hanson is #2 in FCS:
FCS 1. Sorenson of SUU (#6 overall)
FCS 2. Hanson of North Dakota (#28 overall)

A conference with 11 full (plus 2 affiliate members) ...
Where there's smoke there's fire, and this 'Idaho' smoke just won't clear:

Like I've always said NDSU is your gold yellow standard.
Fixed your post.

Let's relook at that statement ...
“I am very excited for next year to be playing softball at the University of North Dakota,” she said. “I look forward to traveling around the US and visiting places I haven't been before and competing against some great teams.”
Some say the Big Sky travel is a detriment.
I'd say in this case it seems that it's more of a recruiting tool and advantage.

When I noted the dealth penalty and the time I was thinking about all punishments which I thought lasted for 5 years. But, looking into it a bit more I think that SMU was on probation until 1990. So, it would be four years.
I have to correct both of us.
SMU FB was shut down for two years ('87 and '88) under the NCAA death penalty. (Death penalty is when a program is shut down, otherwise the program is under sanctions.)
I don't see this directly affecting PSU Hockey, but it will feel the secondary effects.

UND's official green color is defined by UND under the Pantone Matching System. (Pantone is an industry standard color matching system.)
UND's official green color is Pantone 347 (also known as PMS 347).
You can find that here: http://www.fmrincorporated.org/misc/PColorChart.pdf

If SMU got the hammer at 5 years. I think a 10 year hammer for the athletics department and AAU status pulled for the school.
1. SMU got one year under the NCAA death penalty. One. Year. And their program is still a mess 20 years later. Presidents see that. I doubt we'll see that hammer ever used again unless we run into a situation so blatently in violation of NCAA rules that it can't be ignored.
2. Pull AAU status? I assume you're talking about this AAU and not amateur athletics. This is an athletics scandal. You don't smoke the whole university for being stupid enough to let a Napoleon-wannabe with bad glasses run the place for four decades.
Personally, I don't see anything more for Penn State than a firm finger-wagging from the NCAA. Scott pointed out precisely why.
However, the courts are going to send a loud and clear message. I honestly expect:
- at least one of the three administrators who were involved in what was effectively a cover-up to end up in jail
- a final settlement for the victims that may well approach (sit down folks) ... ten digits.
I expect the damage to PSU Athletics to come from the courts via them being fiscally hamstrung making huge settlement payments for the forseeable future.

So in theory is there a pecking order between “Associate HC” and “Assistant HC”?
Associate > Assistant
-
So, If I read that correctly, it's (going top down by title):
Mussman - HC
Mannausau - Associate HC, Defensive Coord
Kotelnicki - Assistant HC, Special Teams Coord
Breitbach - Assistant Coach, Offensive Coord
then Boyd, Freund, Schleusser, Richter, Nurse, and Myers as Assistant Coaches.
-
"In addition to the new staff members, I wanted to reward some current guys for their hard work and I've given Josh Kotelnicki the title of assistant head coach and elevated Mike Mannausau to associate head coach," Mussman said.
Not surprised in the least at Mannausau getting the Associate HC title. He's earned it.
A little surprised at the Assistant HC title for Kotelnicki, but then again, he's done more than enough with the special teams to ... {rest of post blocked by Kotelnicki's special teams unit, heck, they block everything else kicked their way

I sure hope some MBB players see those FT expectations and start to fix it.

I was not sure where to post this, but as I was charging a child sexual assault case last night, I noticed the media frenzy around the Penn State University report from Attorney Freeh on PSU's child sexual assault issue. I wonder if PSU athletics takes the hit that is being cried out for by some (death penalty), and how that impacts their ability to compete in the Big Ten, at least in football? If a B10 team can't compete in the major revenue producing sport why keep them in the conference? If that happens, which is a long way down the road, what happens to the Big Ten hockey conference? They would be down to five teams, lose an auto bid and cause another major shake-up in the college hockey world.
You're speculating on something that more than likely won't happen. The NCAA has given the Death Penalty once (SMU). They didn't give it to Miami or USC and probably could have.
As I've said elsewhere, the PSU problems seem to be criminal and civil law. I don't see where PSU has violated any NCAA rules (unless the NCAA can come up with a way to claim "lack of institutional control" violations).
So to your Big Ten concerns I say worry about it when it happens.
One more note: If PSU is capable of this, what ugly skeletons are out there at other schools yet to be found? They won't admit it, but school presidents (the managers of the NCAA) know they're one scandal away from being a pariah like PSU. They'll make a lot of firm sounding statements about "concerns" but will they really drop the hammer knowing it could easily be them next time. How can I say that? They dropped the hammer on SMU, saw how devestating it was to SMU (20 years later they're still recovering), and haven't used that hammer since.

I agree, of all the college hockey that I have seen "NO ONE" has had better hands than Towes.
Apparently you never saw Tony Hrkac in his prime in 1986-87.

The "in the west" phrase has to be referencing the Geological Eng'g and Petroleum Eng'g programs. Those would be most valuable with outreach toward the Bakken.

That can be explained in one word: OIL.
