Alright, I think we’ve hit the quota of portal WRs who only have practice film 😂
I’d take Danny’s opinion of having a year to see him on the field vs cut up highlights

True, that is just the window where they have to declare to enter the portal, but can be signed/commit anytime after that I guess right. I wasn't thinking lol.
I probably over simplifying it too. As many have mentioned some of those guys in the portal are done playing and the others are still there for a reason. Need to hit on the when you can.
I haven’t seen anything on Fleming signing anywhere. Maybe we can retain him. 2nd semester must start Monday.

As much as I hate to see another window for guys go leave, curious to see how things go with no spring portal. If you dont get what you need in the winter portal, you are kind of stuck with what you've got. Hopefully we can fill most all the holes we needed to fill.
You will just have to revisit the remaining 5,000 players in the portal that won’t find an home and/or Jucos.
I think the one window will help the smaller schools.

Yep, not saying the guys we got won’t be good or impactful. We just have not won any head to head battles against the SU’s so far. Which sucks
How many have we lost head to head?

Would be fine with either Danny or Gordie, but there’s a third option too… let it play out. Important, important decision upcoming …
So is the third option legit?

No one is wishing him ill will. But we can also desire better. Hard for some to differentiate the two around UND, hence the reason we were stuck with mediocrity and Bubba for so long.
Anyways, on to the next thing. As said before, hopefully this is a win-win for both parties.
He was here two years…… what do you mean so long

That’s a nice win

$5 million to the NCAA
$10 million entrance fee to the new conference
$? million exit fee to old conference20 more FB scholarships plus 20 more for Title IX
$8-10 million annual increase of overall athletics budget to be mid-lowest quarter FBS
And now let's talk NIL money ...
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?

"Begging"?
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

"Kalen DeBoer was a finalist for the University of North Dakota (UND) head football coaching job in December 2013, alongside Bubba Schweigert, with both working as coordinators at Southern Illinois"
I do think his point still stands. DeBoer was a very strong coach within the region who in fact, defeated UND head to head. And I was at that game. It was clear UND was out coached that game.
2009 - UND 13 / USF 28
2011 - UND 15 / USF 13
lol. You are trying to make his point stand by completely changing the argument.

i guess i pointed out that find someone in the region doing well at _________________sport.....say 11 years ago...who was doing well/exceptional at fcs football? ndac. go grab vigen instead of recylcing ole bubba....wasted a decade and look at vigen and msac?
same with vball?
Vigen is never and was never going to come to UND.

Is it a safe assumption the people like Armacost and Cook actually speak to each other on such matters, unlike two decades ago?
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 have no inside knowledge but I think them moving to the mountain west is more likely then not. Their coach didnt just stay there without something going on. Like it or not they have a national brand that could help the mountain west.
I generally would agree but one can play devils advocate with Montana St coach. Exact same situation and nearly identical announcement.

I don't see it. Given the timing. Odd saying since the portal doesn't open until 01/02, but what did not happen is the various collectives had conversations with other players, had agreements and then now said, nope and they gave it all to Rucker.
Let's all cleanse the timeline from that post.
What I'm watching for now.
- JUCO rulings. Wiltshire, Samuels Parker, Walker, Scott. Can they get any of those guys back for another year? Unpopular opinion, but UND losing 4 impact players, is a lot compared to NDSU's - 0, SDSU's - 1, wait on USD. If they can get any of those guys, IMO, it would cancel out an impact player for player
@Kab checking back in. More optimistic than I was!
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

Seems to be some heavy heavy smoke about NDSU moving up and not just football. I mean at this point it’s the boy who cried wolf when it comes to this topic but idk feels a little different right now.
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.

Do you think being on ABC might make a difference.
Good to see you are still reading the board Dan. Pretty quiet this year.

It's the team we just played. A Tarleton player announced he was transferring at halftime of their playoff game today. I'm sure he won't be coming here, just thought it was a funny/sad reflection of the portal and of this player.
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.

I just wish there was a bit of transparency with how much an athlete receives when they transfer and find a new home. I think that would either help fans understand or I guess think they’re even bigger idiots, depending on situation.
It would probably help other players as well.

1 minute ago, AJS said:This is going so much worse than I thought. Unfortunately, at a tipping point here. Being practical. You can only have so much turnover with impact players and expect to take a step forward. Too early in this process to be losing this much.
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.
