If I was a sioux fan either pro DI or not I'd still like a in-depth report on the financial condition of the athletic department. How it's setup with the REA, what the costs are, etc ,etc. Does anyone really know the actual setup and cost? Doesn't sound like it. The one thing NDSU doesn't have hunging around it's neck unlike UND has, is the womens hockey team. That's a real financial drain that's not really factored in and it's year in and year out.

He makes it look like he's running the whole show on the DI move and Kupchella has little say in it. We'll see.

I guess I was wrong is isn't arrogance it's your ignorance thats funny - like no UND athletes EVER failed academically? Failure in this area is the players fault, as most programs give the student athletes all the resources they need to be sucessful.

As usual your arrogance can't help from showing - you act like UND never has any athletes that are academic failures. We'll see how many this fall - Oh I forgot, the gfherald doesn't print negitive stories about UND.

4 class average NDSU 63% UND 61%

You mean like your hockey teams - with most of the girls quiting and some of the guys going pro early I can imagine the rates will go down.

Good cause with your leadership that's where you're going to be, right with Crookston and Upper Iowa.

I think it was on it's last leg before that. It was the place to be in the 70's.

Frenchies - Great bar. I never understood why it fell from grace and closed. Oh well memories.

gf already had to pay back funds that were not properly used. How about the new fb turf that was due for replacement in 98 that was 90% funded by fema. The list could go on and on but at this point who cares.

I think this indicates that the UND administration isn't really serious about DI.

Looks like you're getting your wish.

Actually all the tales about UND moving to DI and BSC wanting UND is all **. Are you still thinking UND will make the move?

Nothing is clouded - just read the article and what it said. Those dii schools you are talking about are in the middle of DI conferences - different story in ND SD. Granted NDSU and SDSU getting into a conference will help UND and scsu if they want to join later on, but most of the UND posts here have been saying that UND will be asked either before NDSU or with NDSU and SDSU. This article pretty much tells a different story. You are right about one thing, never say never.

You can spin it anyway you want. The fact remains that UND is never going to be asked to join a conference while it's still dii.

I guess this about answers it: Mid Con and BSC commissioners just put a fork in the notion that a dii team can be asked to join a DI conference before they make a commitment to DI. http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm...&section=Sports

Once can be an accident - but can you do it 7 times!!

Beating Wisconsin was a miracle, Beating Montana was miracle, etc etc. With all the miracles NDSU has created you'd think poor old davek would be a believer by now.

We'll find out this fall won't we.

Hell this is much better than reality TV!

What UND does or doesn't do with the DI move will have little bearing on NDSU either way.

Looks like your hometown newspaper and that survey has given Kupchella all the cover he needs to pass on the DI move. http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/n...on/14549989.htm

Looks like UND and you will never know.

I'm sure that's stopping a lot of dii schools that are looking at DI.
