Making it easy for one school to be an affiliate member of an FBS conference for football and have a cost effective solution for their other sports does no favors to the other Summit league members. Also, the stability of the Summit is the Dakota schools. Lose one of those and the conference is not appealing to anyone. A new commish needs to do what it takes to keep the four together. Football does that before hockey.

RBs and Sammy Fort. I think the other DEs remaining were going to play a lot anyway.

Those schools are going to be recruiting at the same time. If the plan is to only stay competitive by transfers, likely doesn’t work long term. If you fill holes with transfers while also developing players (and retaining them) it can be sustainable. Coaches need to change with the new rules laid forth.

Agreed. You want to pull football in another conference as “football only”. Have fun finding a conference for all your non revenue sports.

Have to wonder when these coaches are in contact with these kids.

I think it was a legitimate statement. The kid is choosing to leave schools, no reason to post any rumors on a website. There are correct avenues to take for those allegations and a fan message board isn’t it. As a fan I am bummed he’s leaving. No reason to post stuff about a young man on his way out. Most would welcome him back if things changed.

I’m not real sure. To be honest I can’t recall any college coach that is an open book on any disciplinary action unless it’s something on record. I’m disappointed he’s not on our team but to continue to post either speculation or blame to the coaching staff with no evidence is something I won’t do.

I would think not missing games when discipline is needed would imply a different set of rules. Maybe I’m missing something.

He was fun to watch and made some great plays for us. I really hope it works out for all these guys when they leave. Plenty of talent to find and on the roster, need to put a good list of needs together and go execute.

I don’t think we hear any news on this until right before Christmas or right after the start of second semester. I think most transfers will want to find a home before spring ball. Once again there will be many more players out there than spots available.

Where are those quotes?

Where did I say that? Game is a big deal. From what I saw this Oct the players and coaches on your sideline would agree.

FU fans are the only ones that tell themselves that. No one else actually talks about or cares. I was equally as disappointed after SIU, Missouri St. and SDSU. Games the team let slip away.

Should have played for the field goal and overtime?

He was one of my favorite players to watch the last few years. Hard nosed young man that played to the whistle every snap. I wish him all the best and if an opportunity doesn’t present itself elsewhere, I would love to have him back.

Bubba is a pretty approachable guy, feel free to reach out and share your opinion.

Siegel is leaving too?

Hopefully Fort wasn’t getting to comfortable at safety.

I think just from a balancing out classes because everyone is losing players you have to take a chance on some guys and bring them in.

They just got the home town cooking from officials to get a win.

20 more lbs would be a really nice DE in the 3-4. He was dominant in high school.

Let NDSU join the MAC first and than send them independent for non football sports.

Where is SDSU and what would a win over them on Saturday do?

They made that decision by choosing to play a non qualifying transitional D2 team for one of their non conference wins. This is what has them at 6 D1 wins right now and on the bubble.

This thread is a sample size of what, 150-300 of the same people that post? Not posting about a new coach is how you determine “a lot of people”??
