[ Just a question, why would UND want to make the move to D-1, there are alot of advantages to staying at the top of D-2, I think it's much more attractive to prospective athletes to tell them that they will have a chance to compete for a national champion, than to never really have that opportunity as a mid major, and in most sports there is very little difference in the level of play between the best at D2 and these Mid majors. That is why none of the mid majors want to play UND in most sports. Womens basketball for example there is no way that any of the Missouri Valley schools will play UND they are afraid of what very well may happen. I think UND has done the right thing by staying right where they are. If you were an athlete would you stick around through this 5 year transition period, when you have no hope of post season play, I think not.

From an outsider just starting to get on the UND band wagon, I see it that UND must put up a fight on this so that the NCAA keeps their hands out of things that they should not have anything to do with. This is simply a local decision and should be handled by UND and within it's community. If the NCAA is going to listen to all these politically correct people where will it stop. The U should fight it all the way.

I heard Coach Roebuck had a recruit in this past weekend at the football game that they really want, anyone have any info on her. I heard it may be a girl from Iowa.
