Does the fact that he has a couple errors in his report (after all he is from another country), take away from his point? I think the lesson here is to avoid a facist state if you've got illegal drugs in your car.

I saw it too, the old fart, Paulson, blatantly called the North Dakota Attorney General a liar for his statements. There is no way you can justify the actions of Chapman. Lets hope and pray he doesn't make the NDUS look like any more of a travashamockery.

You have it backwards, Fargo students go to UND because of the academia reputation (see below) not found in Fargo, then conversely move back to their "hometown." Hence all those UND fans/grads currently in Fargo. I and others on this board have first hand knowledge of this.

Thank you dr chapman, for helping make ND and the NDUS a better place for all.

Going by baseball attendance figures, you might not have to much company.

Listen close once and for all, the move to D1 will be fianced by: UND is continuing to develop the Bronson Property and that will soon bring in $1 Million/year to the university, which will only increase in the future Increased student fees Increased ticket prices Increased Alumni contributions / Endowment Frozen Four money not currently available as a D2 member other. Your school has run an athletic deficit before and will also sometime in the future.

Pass over whatever your smoking. People were in line waiting for tickets almost every game trying to buy rush tickets.

But yet you still have a chance to get into the playoffs finishing second in the Big Sky, Montana apparently took that risk. Can't and won't are totally different. Side note: I prefer they did't play when UND was in its transition anyways. I think it would be unfair to one team.

Can't is a strong word. Didn't Montana schedule NDSU when they were not a "DI counter"?

Wouldn't be the first time your wrong and probably won't be the last.

Long term 13 years is nothing, much better than what is currently available for conferences. F'in Midcon is not worth it long term, Big Sky is 50/50.

Because they are the 8th fastest growing school in the country, with over 25,000 students. They are in the process of moving from college to university status.

Funny you keep mentioning UND, but the article never mentioned UND or any other colleges in North Daktoa. I guess theres a disagreement between NDSU and someone else UND must be involved somehow.

Do you think NDSU and its fans/media would have done/said anything, acted, different than UND did if the roles were reversed. I do not. So it really is all pointless arguements.

When UND leaves the NCC I don't expect NCC schools to schedule UND, like some other schools assumed. Yes lets help SDSU and NDSU in their transition years as they just helped weaken our conference. Yes we are so eager to schedule them. Nice logic. You don't break up with your girlfriend and then ask her to keep dating you until you find someone better.

Back to the original topic of this thread about USD and SCSU: This is how much weight UND carries in the NCC,

Davis has only been a DIAA school since 2003. So really how long could they have been "just fine before the great west"? The Great West is a temporary league for all members until they find something better. As witnessed by it already losing members. More than half the members of the GWFC were D2 a few short years ago, so if UND was to join them, it would be playing the same teams.

All this talk about UND on a South Dakota radio station, home to USD sports?

But is he right? Did Buning even say this? Or did the Forum interpret his words and made a major headline? The loss of the largest school in the Dakotas in the NCC will surely affect USD and SCSU. I look for both of them to move to D1 within the near future. The best long term solution would be to get into a conference with NDSU, SDSU, USD, SCSU, and a couple other regional schools. Best of both worlds. D1 is becoming so watered down with former division 2 schools. They even basically made a seperate football division for those schools. IAA. UND should move up. They have a larger enrollment and football attendance than the average IAA school.

Please take off your NDSU glasses and look at reality. | | | V

Fixed your post.

Please stop being so ignorant. Bruce Smith is the dean of the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. I'm sure he doesn't care about the teachers.
