How much "justice" are you willing to pay for? Courts and law enforcement are routinely short-changed as states and cities, and the feds, look to trim their budgets. The system isn't perfect, and never will be, but it does work most of the time.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought 'su was producing a new "reality TV" show ...

The blood around the NC$$ just attracted a very big "shark". http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-02/nfl-free-agent-lawyer-set-to-unlock-16-billion-in-ncaa-athletes.html New York-based Winston & Strawn LLP is starting what it describes as the first college-focused division at a major law firm to represent players, coaches, schools and conferences against what Kessler, 59, described as “the unbridled power and influence” of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

I did a quick skim through Roku's developer site. There does not appear to be a cost to get an app/channel on Roku. Even PBS has a Roku channel. The developer is responsible for content, technology, etc. Roku merely acts as a conduit and does not host the channel. As content developers/owners, including major sports, seek more avenues to consumers on their terms, Roku and similar services may be the death knell of cable TV at some point, especially as more people cut out cable TV. Perhaps it's something UND and/or the NCHC might consider beyond their TV deals if they want to expand the eyes and potential ad revenues from broadcasting their games to dedicated fan bases.

So why doesn't UND think about creating its own "channel" that could be picked up on Roku or some other service? The could charge a subscription or per-game fee and reach a much wider audience than some deal with a regional TV carrier. If any number of churches and other organizations, including some sports can do it, it may be a more viable option as content moves away from traditional cable and satellite.

Hey! -Penn State

As long as Goodell can make money for the NFL with "Redskins", he'll continue to do so regardless if somebody's "offended". He's a lawyer by trade, so I doubt he's serious about "listening" to a few offended bed-wetters. Frankly, Snyder or a subsequent owner would need to pull the trigger on any moniker and I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Hell, I had a "preferred customer" account there.

I love the way they try to hype the tradition of "B10 hockey". I'm sure gopher fans can't wait for that rivalry with tOSU to dominate the Strib.

I honestly wondered why a school of UND's size didn't go D1 a decade or more ago. Once 'su went D1 it was basically a foregone conclusion UND would follow suit, since the politics in the state and changes within the NC$$ really demanded the move. I'm glad we did go D1, even though the transitional period has (edit: Not) been up to the D2 "standards" of yore.

Agreed. Anyone who didn't order one or two really missed out.

This was probably the most incoherent screed I've seen on this site in a long time. Perhaps the writer needs to change his hande to "fightingsiouxwheneverwewin".

He, or she, will have some big skates to fill.

By the time they got around to that, you'd have already sold out.

Go for it.
