Sioux lead at the half 30-7.

USD down to Wisconsin 31-3 at half.

Don't forget about Chris Comes. I read somewhere that he may be pushing Bradley next year.

Very good news going into Potato Bowl weekend.

North Dakota 45 Black Hills 3

I thought the same thing.

So are they dropping football? I can't JBSU supporting both hockey and football. They may be going the way of UNO and dropping some sports and moving to Division I.

I used to love reading his blog. Good stuff.

UND enrollment sets another record at 14,697, thanks in part to strong returning-student numbers/ I found this interesting...

Tu-Uyen Tran isn't going to make any friends at 'SU with this piece.... UND enrollment exceeds NDSU for first time since 2007

I have a prediction for Jay Cutler next week against the Packers..... Pain. The Saints sacked Cutler 6 times yesterday and crushed the entire offense, except Forte. The only TD Chicago scored was mostly due a a roughing the passer call against the Saints, which even the announcers said wasn't a penalty. I would love for the Saints to have another crack at the Packers in the playoffs.

The ladies took down Montana over the weekend 2-1.

LET"S GO SIOUX!!!

For lack of a better place to ask this question, has anyone heard any info about Rhode Island taking their hockey program to Division I? I was reading their board a while back where some of the fans were knocking the idea around.

Thanks for the update Sultan. Star was such a negative nelly with his game info.

How about we add another 10,000 seats the Ralph.

North Dakota's athletic department is profitable, because of hockey. I don't know the numbers on whether football is profitable or not at North Dakota.

Maybe we should merge two threads....

I don't recall where I read it, but very few NCAA championships make money. I believe the only ones were basketball, baseball and hockey. Since FBS football championships are not run by the NCAA, it is not included. Note what is missing.... FCS football. Money loser. Sure there are some programs that make money, such as NDSU and Montana, but more lose money than make it. Look at the schools in the current WCHA. Hockey is a cash cow for most of these schools. I'm not saying FCS isn't relevant. I'm saying that it isn't as profitable as hockey.

Hockey is one of the few sports that actually makes a profit. FCS football is not a money maker.

What you are describing reminds of a book I just finished reading, The Overton Window. Although the subject matter is different from the book, the premise is the same. The NCAA seems to be using the Overton Window in their policy making. Although the transgender thing sounds more like the door-in-your-face technique.

Skimming through it a bit, it is based on 2010 data, so you may have to wait a couple of years to see movement up. UND's place relative to other schools appears to be the same. UND was tied with Hawaii last year and this year and right behind Idaho both years.

2012 Rankings, for what they are worth, have UND at #164, tied with Florida Institute of Technology, San Diego State, University of Hawaii, University of Louisville and West Virginia.

Because he exemplifies what Mussman is not. DeBoer took an NAIA team into an FCS stadium and not only won, but took it to North Dakota. He didn't come in there with the attitude of lets show these guys a competitive game. He came there to win. He exploited UND's weaknesses and the Sioux coaching staff had no answer. It also doesn't hurt that he is from the Dakotas. I want the guy who comes into each game with that kind of an attitude. If it is not DeBoer, then someone of similar qualities, such as Mike Van Diest of Carroll College. He has won the NAIA national championship 6 times and is well respected amongst the Montana and Montana State crowds. He would have instant credibility in the Big Sky.
