How many have we lost head to head?

How so?

So is the third option legit?

He was here two years…… what do you mean so long

That’s a nice win

I don’t think the NIL changes much. it’s a lot of money up front but not moving kills athletic budgets in the future. Think we are getting even 5,000 people to the Alerus for a game vs Mankato or Duluth if all of our regional peers move on?

Could the MWC position and east/west and essentially put all of these FCS schools in the west at $10 million a piece and force them to give up 2-3 years of any TV revenue? Between that and the PAC buyouts they could make themselves some good money over the next few years without playing a game.

That is huge for them

lol. You are trying to make his point stand by completely changing the argument.

Vigen is never and was never going to come to UND.

Hopefully but with Cook having a foot out the door who knows. Regardless of what NDSU does, UND needs to be ready, needs to be thinking about a way to do it regionally or with regional teams. Any FCS teams that have had success moving up have tight footprints for conferences a footprint crossing multiple time zones.

I generally would agree but one can play devils advocate with Montana St coach. Exact same situation and nearly identical announcement.

I just combine portal entries with graduating players and still like where UND is at. A majority of both lines back and QB are so important. I still think the hardest player we have to replace is McNeal at LB

Probably a matter of time. Tough sledding without a regional conference, especially if it’s all sports. Just have to get our house in order and find an opportunity if others move. Better yet if we find a way to do it with regional schools and freeze them out of that conference.

Hell yes…….sky is not falling

Good to see you are still reading the board Dan. Pretty quiet this year.

Unreal. Not sure I would want that to be the first impression I made on a new school. Hopefully the kid had something lined up already.

Do you feel better now? Sky is not falling. Give me the o line back, plus the QB and some key skill guys (Deng and Tai plus a few younger guys) and we are in an ok spot on offense.

So are the posts earlier that the sky is falling. The entire process needs to play out start to finish

It would probably help other players as well.

To be honest while these losses hurt, I’m not sure I see one outside of Seidel that cannot be replaced either in the portal or by who is already on the roster.

Google

Of course it’s not true……go back and look who said it.

QB gets a pass…..

I look at what we lose and where we were exposed the last few weeks and we have some work to do. Not putting anything on a pedestal
