Well I suppose pros are that the individual colleges get to stay in the constitution, so there would be no closings, the people would have more of a say in how the higher ed board is ran, and the board would be more accountable to the people through the legislature. The cons would be that the board would lose some of it independence from political stuff and its a change of the status quo plus the colleges stay in constitution. I believe it would be a good change. The current status quo is broken. I think putting more of the power in control of the people through a direct election of the higher ed chancellor/president is a good thing because ultimately the schools are for the people and the people pay for the schools. I also like that there will be more accountability to the people this way through both the direct election of the chancellor/president and through the increased influence of the legislature, who represent the people. I also like that whole thing would fully fall under state statutes. I think it would be an improvement over the current set up.

It would go to a vote of the people.

Well those people wanted the cheaper, Minnesota option... As well, engineering doesn't matter. What it comes down to is that if the diversion goes through, it will ruin the livelihoods of all of the rural folks and farmers that live in the area to be impacted by the lake. That is just wrong.

I support this move. The current structure of the SBoHE does not work and needs to be changed/eliminated.

This is awesome. I am not opposed to flood protection for Fargo, but the diversion/dam is a terrible way to go about it.

oh ok. Nevermind then.

I don't know guys... SFI tweeted it, not Sioux crew. I think SFI was just tweeting to all UND fans and the nodak nation thing was just a coincidence.

Golly the SFI guys have more connections.... its crazy

Not necessary.

Golly that is a terrible powerplay.

3rd on the night

YEAH YEAH YEAH

You'd think Grafton and Red River would be a pretty good draw. And the Sioux are out of town.

Go Grafton tomorrow night.

Should be a couple of good games tomorrow.

Thanks

Is there an online stream for the radio?

Thanks for the score updates on that North Century game.

I think what Darell is saying is that NDSU sees UND as their only threat. Lets say UND gets hammered in Fargo this year and then SU goes on to lose the FCS title game. Next year NDSU is down a little and UND is on the rise and UND wins a barnburner "upset" in Grand Forks. In just two seasons the whole paradigm and perception of things changes. That's what NDSU does not want to happen.

Looks like it will probably be up to the Bismarck schools to prevent an all East winners bracket.

Should be a fun one this year! I'm picking Red River, Minot, Century, and Grafton to win their first round games. With the exception of the RR game, all the first round games should be pretty competitive (of course Jamestown's goalie can stand on his head...).

Its a good schedule no doubt based on how good the teams are. But there is no exciting, bring the house down types of match ups. A #3 ranked Miami still wont generate the same excitement as as an unranked Minnesota.

From UNDHockeyblog:

The home slate isn't that great looking.... No Minny, Wisco, Denver.... even no big names like Notre Dame coming in.

i'm watching it! haha thanks for the updates guys
