How many fans did ndsu bring down to the game in vermillion this year? You do realize und brings about 10,000 fans to the past final 5/frozen face off which is just a conference tournament. I don't believe bringing 17,000 to their next national title game would be too far fetched.

http://www.businessinsider.com/odds-college-athletes-become-professionals-2012-2 Here's the link where I got the 2% number. The way I understand it is a little more than 2% of ncaa baseball players end up making it to the mlb. Ok after clicking on a link within this link I learned I was wrong with ith the 2% number. According to the link 12% of NCAA baseball players make it to the pros. Never mind.

Agreed. If there's room for growth at und it isn't the hockey team. There is much more room for growth in men's bball and football and the athletic department should be focusing on growth.

In the past 7 years 36% of NHL debuts have come from college hockey. Only 2% of ncaa baseball players make it to mlb. Not a very good comparison.

I'm aure toews; oshie, Parise, or any of the other former sioux hockey players raking in millions would disagree with your hockey is a joke statement. Add up the few former bison nfl salaries from this season and do they even exceed what toews is making this year?

Don't forget the und hockey games that tsn has picked up!

But th bison had 2 games on fox sports one the past 2 years!

Note to bison fan on sioux message board- why do you continually come here to defend ndsu's honor if they already have pronounced their relevance with their national exposure?

You know someone has a case of little man syndrome when a bison fan registers on a sioux forum and poses as a sioux fan.

I did not mean to come across that way. I do not believe fcs is jv and didn't mean to belittle fcs football in any way. I support the und football team every way I can and I follow them whether they are winning or losing. I'm a und fan. Even though und hasn't played ndsu in football in such a long time I'm excited for the game this fall and I still would consider ndsu a rival. I hope that und can compete and win. But let's be realistic. Und hockey is still a bigger deal than ndsu football?

Surprised there ar that many in the nfl from fcs. But we are still talking 43% ncaa d1 hockey to 21% fcs football. I don't really care. The only reason I even brought this up is because we have und fans here belittling the hockey program.

There is more football players per team so salaries need be be spread out more. So what? 1 out of 3 NHL players come from ncaa d1 hockey. What percentage of nfl athletes come from fcs?

You make a valid point. But The way I see how college hockey vs fcs football has an impact on fans throughout North America can be judged by pro salaries from former players in both sports. At und college hockey alumni or making a lot more of an impact than former football players are. Compare und hockey NHL salaries to ndsu football nfl salaries and it's not even close. If you are trying to say that fcs football makes a bigger impact to most sporting fans nationwide, then why are the former college hockey players reimbursed at such a higher level? This money is ultimately coming from the impact the athlete makes to their fan base. I'm not trying to rip on fcs football. But 1 out of every 3 nhl'ers come from ncaa d1. What percentage of nfl'ers come from fcs? It's not even close and professional athletes relevance is shown by the money they make. If you look at it this way, ncaa d1 hockey is much more relevant in North America than fcs football is.

Und should take the info they got by investing almost $100k in consultants and pick a name before the bill has a chance to pass. Problem solved.

Agreed. The ducks will be the ncaa football champs.

Amazing how weak und's schedule is this year. This has to be the softest schedule they've had since the pairwise has been used.

Rumor has it DHG was the cause of those sores that were all over Andy welinskis mouth and face.

Andy wielinski looks like he needs to check into a clinic for that one! Hope the jersey chasers in gf have stayed away from that winner!

Why would anyone think badly of the mills boys. I've met one of them at a trade show meeting before. Told me of his good times in grand forks and said he's a big fan of the fighting sioux.

Did Caleb ever sue the university? Or did the university ever publicly apologize for the way they dragged him through the mud? Or is he still banned from campus?

Excellent point!

I'm not going to defend the police in these cases because I don't know the truth. With that said if one of these cops is charged and found to be in the wrong(or wrongfully be found innocent) you won't find me thugging up the streets burning cars and looting businesses.

Yes I do think they should be held accountable and how haven't they been? Haven't they both faced a jury?

Id call the minneapolis protest a violent protest. The road was not blocked off or closed for a protest and the guy driving slowly on the road ended up with people jumping on his hood smashing his windshield.
