I didn't see where anyone had linked the whole letter. If they already have, sorry, if not here it is. http://www.universityrelations.UND.edu/log...er_6-07-06.html

My parents live in GF and their opinion is that it is inevitable that UND will be in Division I. Why not make is sooner rather than later. They have been season ticket holders for basketball since the 1960's and last year was a very disappointing year to endure. I'm sure if the level of play and competition continues on the same track attendance will suffer. If I were a student at UND or local fan, I would much rather see UNI, Creighton, UWGB .... than see Mayville, Crookston, Minot. Sure we may lose to some of the D I teams, but lately we have been losing to DAC10 teams. Obviously putting NDSU back on the schedule again would also mean more $$ for us and for them.

It is indeed addictive. I have to drink Folgers at work (company provided and approved by the masses), but nights and weekends it's Community.

No cream in the coffee. Community Coffee New Orleans Blend with chicory. That's a hearty cup of coffee. http://www.communitycoffee.com/ccc/

I love rhubarb pie. The only place that I can get it down here is at Village Inn. They have a strawbeery rhubarb pie that is great.

Your right that I did hear about it for a couple of days. I had one of our suppliers in my office here in Florida a couple of days later and he knew about it. I have a big picture of the Ralph hanging over my desk and he looked up at and said "I hear that your school (UND) beat Wisconsin over the weekend". Sorry, he didn't know who NDSU was, but he hears about UND through hockey

USD fan site. They seem to be talking about the D-I move. http://coyotesports.proboards100.com/index.cgi?board=talk

I know about UND. What was the other one again?

I'll add one more to the mix, Women's hockey. New program and no idea on attendance and $$. Hopefully the next couple of years the program will take off and be very successful.

Speaking of deficits SDSU from 2005. Revenue $ 6,280,833 Expense $ 6,547,381 Looks red. Maybe SDSU should be in Division II.

From aff on October 1, 2004 I think someone is a little nervous that SDSU will be forgotten about if/when UND announces the classification change to Division I.

Where the heck is PCM on all of this. I'm looking for some "pseudo reporting" on the issue.

Schools have been closed before in North Dakota. From a North Dakota history website.

This is the part that I find perplexing. Forum Communications has been the voice of the Bison for how many years and now offer less than 55% of what they had been bidding. ?

This may have been posted elsewhere and I just didn't see it. This is from the IAC's March meeting.

I challenge you to show me where I said that you were irrational or incorrect. I said that you have a negative bent. No one is asking you to be a UND cheerleader. My observation was that you rip on posts that show some optimism in UND athletic programs. Are you saying that all of your opinions posted on this board are correct and others opinions are incorrect? I'm sure I'll get another caustic response to my opinion on this, but I don't believe that in five years UND will be in Division II. I don't think that UND alumni will allow for that to happen. Heck, for all I know Kupchella could announce the move in the next month. As far as getting "pissed" about it. Sorry, my priorities in life don't include getting upset about whether UND and NDSU play each other.

I have been reading your posts for a couple of weeks now aff and you seem to have a negative bent on everything. All of your posts seem to just bomb on someone elses post. Offer something constructive. Since this is a UND board, tell me where YOU see UND in two years, five years...

I've been hearing the same line for so long regarding the "conference in hand" that I started thinking that those were the official words of the UND admin. Sorry and thanks for the correction, Sicatoka.

It is possible with what transpired on Tuesday, that Kupchella may have received some direction from Fullerton on making the decision. I know that the line from the administration has been "no move without a conference" for some time. The fact that Fullerton and the Mid-Con have both said in the past week that there will be no invitation without first declaring may give Kupchella all he needs to pull the trigger. Sure he will have to eat some crow and take some heat, but he can point to something and say this is why I can now do it, whereas he didn't have that from before. Previous data, such as the Carr Report, directed schools to not make the move without a conference.

I think you "mis-posted" your last post. It was not misread.

I was thinking banker also, Norman Skalicky, but I don't think that he owned an airline. So I'm thinking that our guesses are different.

I think I'll change my guess and agree with you on this one. Somewhere between the lakes and the Cities. NS
