That was absolutely the turning point. Just kick the ball out and run some more clock and UND probably wins the game. Still, this game will be valuable come tourney time.

I think for one bid leagues the ideal format would be a hybrid. The regular season champ would host the final and get a bye into it and the neutral site has teams 2 to 9 playing for the other spot in the final. This would make the regular season very meaningful, ensure the final is in a packed arena and looking good for tv and also give the conferences best team the best chance to make the Big Dance and hopefully do a little damage there.

Yeah. Noticed that just after I posted. Backup time now.

Wow what a run by JJ

Wouldn't mind seeing studsrud on the sidelines at this point.

Too many flags. Nice looking score but still work to do.

I hope they don't let up in the second half. Hang 50 on these guys and make a statement.

Pluto is ok but pixellating at times. Looks like they need a little more bandwidth.

Why punt here

good things can happen when you throw the ball

Hope to see a strong drive from the oggense to start second half. Need 7 rather than 3

Not great clock mangement starting with mercer not getting out of bounds.

Would have liked to see a little more adventurous play call on third down that close. But we're on the board.

I think for the type of person that would take advantage of this the answer is very likely yes. Giving up your summers as a college student is a serious sacrifice so i think only a really motivates student would do it. If you arent planning to pursue an advanced degree dont see why a student athlete would graduatr before exhausting theor eligibility. A question would be how scholarships work. If they cover these summer semesters that should in theory bump up you cost by roughly 1.5 times. Where does that money come from. It does open up some interestingly scenarios for grad transfers for sure.

Special game sites id like to see Nashville Sprint Center Kansas City Staples Center around New Years. That would be a good NCHC showcase game with Arizona State as the opponent. The West Coast equivalent of MSG with tons to do. Lake Placid vs Clarkson or St. Lawrence

The big sky teams can still play them non conference and Sac st. Is still in the league. They may also see the possibility of a Montana Idaho departure and see this as a way to head that off. Keeping both conferences geographically compact makes sense until/if an FBS move ever happens.

The Summit should be working with the Big Sky. Hopefully UNC is facilitating such discussions. For now take on UNC and the two California football affiliates. That gets the Big Sky down to 10 teams which makes scheduling easier for all sports and means only missing one team a season for football. It also puts Summit back to 10 schools for all sports and 8 for football. It also leaves a stable core of former NCC schools (plus Denver) should Western Illinois Fort Wayne and Oral Roberts depart. If that happens then grab UMKC for an eight team league based along I29 plus the Colorado schools. That would have a stable Summit and a stable Big Sky and the leagues could add a scheduling alliance to help fill nonconference games.

Summit should see about bringing on the two Cali schools as affiliates for football. Would get the Sky down to 11 for football (play 8 of 10 opponents each season) and the sky teams could play non cons with Davis and Poly rather than having nonconference games against conference teams. Could allow some time for Sky to get a viable 12th team and open door to some teams leaving for Great North in a few years. At that point the Cali teams could return as affiliates to a downsized Big Sky.

Wonder if them hiring Pat Sweeney might have them angling for something.

Sounds like a potential decathlete.

Or more importantly the Wisconsin fans. Far more atmosphere creating than Gopher fans. The cratering of their program hasn't helped the dismal showings at the Big Ten tourney.

I've not had that problem with MLB.tv, watch ESPN or NBC Sports apps. NCHC is a noticeable lag.

Definitely apples and oranges. Calling student fees revenue is dubious. All these numbers are doctored to tell whatever story someone wants told.

I'd say this shows if you are going to up funding anywhere it's basketball and that FCS football is nearly the money pit that women's hockey is.
