Apparently your selective because the title of the article as I stated was "Big Sky looking at adding 10th member."

I am not the one who said UND is in consideration for the Big Sky. The commissioner of the conference did, so yes I believe he is serious. Those are facts my friend. You can not deny those. Why do you get so upset? Odds might be slim, but he said they were interested in UND, a Division II school. Wonder why?

from the Argus Leader: Big Sky looking at adding 10th member All of those are Division I, except for one.

Big Sky meets in October. They recently said they were going to consider expansion of 1-3 teams. UND has just completed their evaluation for Divisions. They have until July 1. What perfect timing Kupchella!! Do not miss the boat. Could this be one of the most critical aspects for UND in some time.

Show me an exact quote in a reputable source where this has been said. You won't, because no one at UND said it. It has been stated that having a conference lined up would HELP. It would not be required. Remember that game you use to play in elementary school, the telephone game, pass the saying down the line and see how it gets messed up by the end. Bison Fans keep messing up the sayings.

However, I can't help pointing out that "North Dakota" is what gets written in articles on the sports page, not "University of North Dakota." The way I have it set up is the way to go if you want a true comparison. Searching "North Dakota State" gets you many things that aren't related to the university. North Dakota State College of Science, North Dakota State Parks, North Dakota State Symbols, North Dakota State Library.... The top two Google news stories (by relevance at the present time) about "North Dakota State" are about "North Dakota State Track." North Dakota State

Thank you for adding intellectually to the conversation.

and if you do it the most fair way "University of North Dakota" vs "North Dakota State University" UND wins throughout the region except for the Fargo area, of which it is (not so surprisingly) close. Google Comparison

That's what my doctor who is leaving Altru told me. I'm sure its just part of the reason.

Because Altru wants them to go back "on call." Of which many don't want to do.

Ditto. Thank god the lonely shiny NC banner is gone!

Because it is. That picture is over a year old.

I'm with ya fightingbooya.

Exactly. Kupchella (and co.) already have their game plan laid out.

HEY UND, ITS NOT TO LATE FOR THIS YEAR.

I'd rather be an NCC Division 2 Member.

If I were NDSU, I'd do everything and try NOT to get into the MidCon. You'd be essentially letting your basketball program direct all your other sports because it doesn't offer football. NDSU football, your pride and joy, would be stuck in the Great West Football Conference, which has already lost members and is in dier need of more. Not to mention the MidCon has far less "Name Schools" as its members compared to the Big Sky.

Ditto. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?s=...ndpost&p=168038

McFeely would be my favorite writer ever if he did an opinion piece and just ripped on the committee etc of this traveshamockery.

Not really. 1) One school will have a scholarship advantage and be at home. 2) It'll only be one game. 3) UNI isn't an "average" IAA program.

Cause

The finalists list is a fudgen traveshamockery. I think letters might need to be wrote before someone is hired. This new guy could lead our program for years further into the ground.

ok. It's about winning championships at the highest level conceivable.

If I was a NDSU fan going to that website. I'd be like "why do I care what you (Kolpack) care about UND's basketball coaches qualifications." The top three blogs are about UND what would they do without us.

Bad or good depending on who you ask. Looks good to the majority of "stakeholders" at UND (according to the polls). bad for bison fans.
