It’s really not deflection. Of all the guys drafted his year or after all but one are still in the league. Would you put money down on who is next?

My response is he is on his 3rd team in 6 years. He is nearly interchangeable with most on that list.

Most on that list? That’s a strong stretch.

Consistent seasons and selling more tickets would do wonders for that budget

If I am understanding everything I have read so far- Increased $$$ amount, increased coverage into Twin Cities, increased amount of televised games, better radio coverage (if Fargo is figured out), a dedicated football guy that can easily do other sports and was the best TV guy for our in state rival, planned improvements to infrastructure air televising other events. When does the bluff get called?

Brian is a great talent. Welcome back. So far the new media deals seem to be working out. Still waiting for the taken to the cleaners part.

Games vs South Dakota schools are in GF this year.

Like the big frame. Two big OTs for this class.

Good take. I feel like we have been saying that at OL for years. Could Oliphant take over the other guard spot and move Kilty out to tackle? My other thoughts: Jaelen Johnson is an All Conference or better talent. I think he along with Sammy Fort or my picks for who steps up their game on D this year. Even with the losses at CB our secondary has a chance to be really good this season.

Great thoughts by Mike Leach that explore this….. https://www.on3.com/news/mike-leach-presents-radical-change-to-college-football-in-transfer-portal-era-calls-out-cancel-culture-mississippi-state-bulldogs/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=sec_country&fbclid=IwAR3Y1u7Yzae-HGgX0tv_O8hTseVShB_Oo7H4qyQInPlZ1_DDQvdFL2GpZmA

Lol. That was pretty good

None of those schools do anything for TV networks, competitive addition to the conference (SOS) or “splash” for recruiting. Than the PAC12 is stuck with weight like the Big12 is with their recent additions.

Big12/Pac12/ACC will be survival of the fittest. G5 conferences may not look to expand and spend more money on travel if they know that all TV contract money is going to the power conferences and all $$$ games may be taken up by power conferences scheduling each other. If anything they would be better off letting this shake out and tightening their footprints. Expansion and added costs just dont seem like the right move.

A conference that plays at the highest level and includes the states of Texas, Arizona and California is a pretty decent recruiting footprint. Not sure why these two conferences haven’t just merged already other than each individual school holding out hope they are next to get the call and don’t want to commit.

Kansas for basketball??

The only thing he could do better is take it down from behind the pay firewall from the Forum/Herald. The hit piece written by the forum was as irresponsible as journalism gets and was written for one reason only. It would be responsible of them to clarify that UND could do nothing at the time and was actually in full compliance. I’ll be waiting for that effort involving anything in regards to NDSU football. That would involve taking the knee pads off and finding their way out from under Entz’s desk.

There is pressure on college coaches to win??

Black eye to follow the law?? What would you have done different?

I stopped reading the article at the quote below…..zero fact in there. Only an opinion and it could be taken as affirming that if proper Title IX protocol was followed that the other depts would not have known details of the investigation. Do I think they knew….probably "I don't know that they would have been directly told, 'Hey, just so you know, there's an investigation going on,'" Dearth said. "But given who all the individuals were, I absolutely believe that the witnesses probably would have overlapped, and so even if they were never given an official notification of it, I'm sure probably people in the department would have found out about (in) some way."

What is the point of having a press conference or releasing a statement if your not going into specifics. Looks worse to be honest. A statement was released for the article…. However, a university spokesman released a statement saying, "The University has followed all appropriate policies, as well as state and federal laws."

Or they could say nothing and let the process play out the way it should/did in the correct lanes. They could take the Bison approach and say “it will be handled internally” and lock the media out of practices.

Charges??

I’m not sure how that works……

Pretty tough to misinterpret. Cheap shot on the way out. Program did a lot for him. Hopefully he understands that.

Will you feel the same way about NDSU if/when they start doing things the rest of the conference isn’t doing?
