Connecticut: the state of hockey.

I read the tweet as the FCS needs a scheduling alliance with every conference in FCS. How many conferences did he leave out?! The nonscholarships! Ha

How many more years would you say you give Hak? Five? Ten? If he continues winning conference trophies and making the tournament without a title? Serious question. I'm curious to know what people think. Would that point never come to some people if he continues to win lots of hockey games except the ultimate prize?

How do you download UND ON NCAA FOOTBALL?

I just like feeding the trolls. Your not one.

Presidents decide who gets into sports conferences not athletic directors. Academics matter. That's why the big sky rejected Fargo.

You realize that just means Fargo just gets more federal money. Money UND can't get because the it isn't a land grant. Research and academics aren't exactly equal.

It's a message board. Most banter here is a waste of time

It would be interesting to see the stats but isn't football becoming more pass orientated? Not to say a team should become one dimensional.

How can you say such a thing. First year Big Sky team, Albeit the one with the greatest athletic program, UND, couldn't compete againstthe summit this year. We all know UND is the standard bearer of the Big Sky!

Hard to understand thought provoking statements without someone spelling it out for you?

I like your thinking. We base how good the Summit is versus the Big Sky based on UND's record. Keep up the good work.

My bad. Bad wording. I just meant schools like gongaga. Could be invited to the new non NCAA. And be full membets for all sports they have to help their own march madness. Weakening the ncaas. Making the new NCAA the NAIA. I mean its all fun speculation. I never see it happening.

I have no idea what Darrell is trying to say.

Under my scenario, the basketball only schools would be full members. All sports for every school would no longer be in any part of the NCAA. The NCAA couldn't do anything about contributing to the success of its new competitor.

Tv money. Don't they make the most from their own conference? What tv money are they splitting now? The bowl games? That money would be gone or less with less or no bowl games if they went to a 8 or 16 team playoff. Maybe a wash. And my guess is how many non bcs teams usually make a bowl game now. If the top half splits from the bottom half that assumes a one to one ratio. How much more money is could the gophers make if they didn't give Idaho some? I just dont think each school could make that much more in just football. Which is where all the talk stems from. Tv money will always increase. Everything increases with time, besides technology

A new NCAA sets its own rules. Sponsor fewer sports. Here's the amount of scholarships you must have yada. Except title 9 that's federal law.

Maybe that's the point your not getting. It could be their own NCAA. A competitor. They wouldn't need the NCAA.

How much money is the Big Ten losing in football because the MAC exists?

The issue lies when the NCAA decided to split divisions within a division of a certain sport. Why stop at three subdivisions for division I football? Valparaiso and Drake can't compete in football right now!

Whitchita state. Marquette gonzaga. Will be the new cinderellas. Few people really know about them because they don't have football inthe grand scheme of things.

What chip? The NCAA would be bargaining with the CIT.

The thing is its already happened. He's making a point his school should join the FCS! "" "We may get to a point — I want to underline the word may — where many schools are really not in a position to compete at the level of the Floridas and the Notre Dames and the Texases and the USCs," he says. "Like any competitive business, being in it and not really being in the game, you can get hurt. Will there be some restructuring? I am not a fan of some national league, but we may end up with 50 schools in (the upper football division of the NCAA's) Division I.""""

Don't ya think if they broke off. The current march madness would be a shell of its former self? With the big schools own basketball tournament bringing in its own larger tv contract. Don't ya think they'd invite other big name basketball only schools to join them and form a conference. It would be like pro sports. U will be in this league/conference.

Rube Bjorkman is the only other coach at UND for ten years and not win a championship. Two years later and a new coach UND won a championship. The grass isn't alwayer browner either.
