Was that the agreement that was signed after the state legislatures got told to pound sand in their face to face meeting with the NCAA?

Brand building at its finest.

High school sport following across the country?

So is a new nickname going to change your experience of flying all over the country to support your college? Is UND being known as something other than the Fighting Sioux going to change that quality of hockey?

Women's hockey coach doesn't need to be the second highest coach on campus. That sport itself is a money pit. I don't think some are looking for a money tree, just a redistribution of funding

I think some of the changes noted would improve the gameday experience so as we continue to improve in the win column and get people back, they look forward to going and games become an event. They become something that people look forward to attending and making a day out of.

I'm glad everything is going so good in our state that our elected officials can have a lack of a nickname as one of their top priorities. What a joke.

A new entrance video is a must next season. Forget highlights, do something to tie the college to the area. Also, watching the Patriots game on Saturday- on all third downs they sound the airhorn that is played at the Ralph when a goal is scored. How about trying to do some things to tie the two programs/game experiences together.

Mason Bennett making his official visit this weekend. Who else are we going to get in campus? Next few weeks will be big to finish this class.

This. The name isn't coming back so it is time to pick a new one.

Some companies are expecting $20 per barrel through summer rising back up to $50-$60 by years end. Drill out the leases that are up this year and that's about it at those prices.

If he's healthy.

I agree about the Phase II. There was more than $106 million raised in the spirit campaign that from my understanding was donated, but not directed at anything specific. It can be spent based on priority decided on by leaders. I have sent a few emails wondering about priority of this project. It's time some pressure is put on Faison and Kelly to get serious about this project and get it done.

What's D2 have to do with FCS?

And they would be the only ones. Those teams would be one and done in the playoffs.

The conferences not taking part in the playoffs add no value to the playoff field. The watered down argument is stupid.

KVLY is home for FU during the regular season. It's not surprising plus they have earned the coverage they are receiving. It's been an impressive run.

Rhame had the same thing as above but also had 3 half court lines. One was a ten second line and after that was crossed your half court violation moved back to near the other free throw line. Tough gym to play in and they were also a Region 8 team that had some outstanding teams in the 90s.

A PWO to Oregon will get a kid some attention. Good to see our coaches are evaluating the right talent getting in early with him in the process. Still an exciting month ahead.

Where any Gerving's playing for Glen Ullin than? Those guys could play.

One of our coaches?!

He would be a welcome addition to this recruiting class.

Thoughts and prayers to all

The FBS being referenced is the future 2nd tier of college football. Articles on that have been referenced many times on here from ADs across the country. No different than where we are today. It is no stretch to expect all 4 Dakota schools to find a way to get to that level. I expect UND to be there and I really don't care what the other 3 do. Where I believe people get worked up is when they take a move to FBS as the current FBS. Some form of separation by P5 is in the future as the strength of schedule was such a big deal this year along with some further conference shuffling.

Need to get back to the team ball we played early in the year vs. SDSU. Nash has to do more than camp out at the 3 pt. line. Drive, mid range jumpers, anything besides stand around. Frustrating thing right now is we do nothing to force another teams bigs to play D. They score on offense and run down the court and stand either under the hoop or at the three point line. Also I feel that Cashman needs minutes. If we aren't redshirting him, don't waste this season.
