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.

Touche.

Your question should be: Do you wanna sacrafice basketball and other teams for you football team (in IAA where it belongs) because those others sports have no serious risk of ever winning a championship like they do in D2. Okay maybe ndsu's estrogen, er, equestrian, or whatever it is.

Probably comes from the same place where you heard Herbst was offered the job and then later retracted.

Sort of like the contract between NDSU and the Forum (reported by Brandon Misener of d2football.com that two people he trusted had seen the contract) that contains agreements that the Forum write X amount of stories about NDSU (obviously not all athletic) which NDSU must approve.

You're finally starting to understand. Numbers can be manipulated. UND being in the "red" could just mean any number of different things. Like being truthful while others are not. SDSU was not any better financially when they went D1 than UND will be. UND is (trying) not to lead with their heart and emotions like SDSU did, but (like Kuppy said we might have to) when 3 of your conference mates leave within a few years it makes it harder on you and in a way "forces" you to move.

Miles Brand is not a rival of the Sioux.

As true in basically everything in life.... Think Long Term!!! In the long term the short term don't matter. There is no reason to hurry the selection process. There is no reason to hurry a D1 move. No one will remember 20 years from now who moved first. 50 years from now no one will remember what the nickname use to be.
