If Texas moves and if the Oklahomas and Kansas' move would there be room for a Big 12 north division also known as the MVFC/BSC FBS division? How sweet that would be.
If there is a Big 12 north there would be no need to include BSC teams. They would take NDSU, SDSU, UNI and Illinois State and would have no need for any BSC teams. It's not happening, but if it did, it would not be good news for UND or their fans.

You just seem incapable of reading between the lines.
The Citadel has a 21,000 seat stadium. But the Coastal coach is actually a billionaire from his days with Merril Lynch, TD Bank and helped launch TDAmeritrade. When he retired, he took a volunteer asst job with Nebraska, coached an Omaha UFL team, and then became head coach at Coastal. Coastal won't have any trouble raising money for a stadium expansion.

Yes Bison73, read between the lines. SiouxVolley is a master at it. Just like Fullerton said the Big Sky will be FBS in a couple of years, and UND joining the league was the main reason for making the jump. It not really in there, but that is what Fullerton is saying. Just ask SV.
-
Have said the upper Big Sky wouldn't go FBS until the 2018 season.
This quote doesn't mean a thing, but in your and others ignorance you seem to think it's the final word. Fullerton didnt want the Montanas to move to the WAC in 2010 or 2011 and they didnt. Thats what he was referring to. Fullerton also said he'd welcome Idaho football. Since when has Idaho said it moving to FCS? Answer: Never. All his talk that he made in Ogden has double meanings, as Weber St etc don't want to hear what's coming down. You and others are just hearing things that fit your motives and assigning them meanings that aren't there.
You better hope they take more than the upper half of the BSC to the FBS.

I'm not a big other offers guy because they can be misleading but both NDSU and SDSU know how to find great hogs. Anytime we get a hog that they wanted that means they're a good one. We just need to start developing them now.
Did NDSU offer the kid?
-
A new line I picked up tonight from Dom: when a commit doesn't have any other offers, you say: "but more were sure to come" or "his coaches believes more were coming".
i never said kids with only one offer can't turn out to be good players. I even said NDSU has had D2 transfers and walk-ons contribute. I just don't think you want to fill your entire roster with them. But, I know, Bubba has proven to know what he is doing at the FCS level, with all of his National Champ.., ah multiple playoff appear,,, ah, with his two game improvement last year.
By the way, NDSU got a commitment other than the no other FCS offer kid, a QB out of Kansas that UNI and all of the Dakota schools offered, and that includes Bubba.
-
One thing obout these guys is they've been offered based off of their in person camp performance and their junior year. Seeing them in person is beyond valuable.
So these kids were not in other elite camps? Are the other schools just poor talent evaluators that they didn't offer these kids after seeing them in person? I just don't know why everybody thinks because Bubba thinks they are FCS players that they must be great gets. He hasn't proven anything yet. He may prove to be right, but just because he saw them in person doesn't mean anything. These kids were seen by multiple other schools that chose not to offer.
-
Positive development. Keep 'em coming.
Do they know what a booming economy is? They could have picked just about any other city in North Dakota and gotten a more booming economy.
-
While I am certainly pleased with the early commitments, it might be a little scary as it doesn't appear that we will have a great deal of scholarships available for next year. We have 15 seniors - of those, it appears 11-12 are receiving any serious $. We are aware of some no-shows (both freshmen and veterans) but have no idea how much $/slots that frees up.
My guess is these are not all full rides, so I would think they will be ok with numbers of schollies. All teams seem to find a way to sign 20-30 kids every year. I am not sure all these early commits are a good thing. NDSU has about the same amount and I am not sold that getting commitments this early is good without actually being able to sign them. If they have a less than spectacular senior season you are committed to them anyway, and if they blow up, they can easily de-commit and go elsewhere.
-
Except it totally adds nothing to the conversation and once again misdirects the conversation to a pissing match. Bubba has already said they know how to evaluate talent and the fact that other schools are or are not pursuing athletes they are interested in has no bearing on their recruiting process. If all a school does is chase prospects based on other schools interests they aren't doing their job.
I am not saying any school should recruit based on which other schools are doing. And I'm not saying a kid with only one D1 offer won't turn out to be a great FCS or even a future NFL player. NDSU has had a couple of D2 transfers start for them on championship teams. Those kids probably had no D1 offers out of high school. I'm just saying because Bubba has said he and his staff are expert talent evaluators doesn't mean its true. My guess is Mussman has said in the past he and his staff were great talent evaluators also. It doesn't mean it is true. The same people predicting Bubba's rise to championships were predicts Klieman's crash and burn last year.
-
Love the direction that Bubba is taking this program.
But you don't really know which direction Bubba is taking the program. He just got commitments from 4 kids that may not have had any others offers. Maybe they did maybe they didn't but nobody is reporting any. That is not to say that they won't turn out to be good players, but it is a waiting game. Wait another year or two, then you may get an accurate picture of where the program is headed.

It would be fair if the same rules applied to NDSU as every one else. That hasn't happened since 1960. There a reason NDSU only started winning that year.
So you are saying you wish UND didn't support their women's sports either? You don't give a s##t about women's sports, you just wish NDSU was flushing money down the toilet like UND is with their women's hockey, swimming & diving and tennis programs.
-
The NDHSAA sponsors boys and girls hockey. NDSU has made the choice to sponsor neither. Embrace the choice.
And UND chooses not to sponsor Wrestling and NDSU does. Wrestling is a sport sponsored by Class A schools and most Class B schools. Tennis, swimming and Hockey are Class A sports. If you go strictly by participation numbers, there are probably more high school wrestlers in ND than the other 3 sports mentioned combined. I guess UND doesn't care about the small school athletes in ND. I guess that is just a choice UND and their fans will have to live with.
-
Ok gotcha. I don't know why they try and down play it either because the dome will be rocking.
Yes, the dome will be rocking Sept 19th, just like it will be against UNI, South Dakota, Missouri State, etc. I did find it rather interesting that Montana is .charging $10 more per ticket for the NDSU game than for their big rival Montana State,. I guess Montana must not be so thrilled with the addition of their rival UND to the BSC. Apparently according to Schlossy and UND fans everything is about making money, and it looks like UND is not much of a draw, in fact their lowest priced ticket of the season.
-
Playing 11 FBS teams vs playing 11 FCS teams is a huge difference. Playing an LSU team (like EMU does) is different than playing South Dakota or even UND. NDSU would struggle, just ask App State what would Bison fans think if they played Michigan and got thumped 52-14. The bandwagon would come off and tickets would be given away at a gas station again.
Yes, just ask Georgia Southern. They go win the Sun Belt their first year and are picked to win it again this year. Playing that FBS schedule last year sure hurt them.

Conversation with BSC commissioner Fullerton.
. Interesting comments in that Fullerton believes the upper FCS teams, which include the BSC teams and the University of North Dakota
Now that's funny. The upper FCS and UND in the same sentence.
That proves Fullerton is full of it.

My understanding is that Brown was up here at a camp and really liked the facilities, campus, coaches and current players. He was headed to camps at USD and SDSU right after UND's and decided rather than wait to see if they offered, to take the UND offer before attending the other camps. It was also possible that UND was only going to take one guard and by waiting, he could have missed his opportunity. Being he liked everything he had seen about UND, it wasn't worth the risk.
Are you implying a UND coach put pressure on a recruit by saying if he didn't accept the offer right away it may not be there later? I thought only NDSU football coaches did that?
-
More conference changes. It'll be interesting to see how this affects the Summit's expansion plans.
It means with 9 full members it opens up a spot for UND to join and be Mayville"s travel partner. I would say give Jones 2 or 3 years and he could have them challenging for a conference title.

I'm saying Bison fans gushed over how great Jensen was even saying the best ever, and how he can make it to the next level, was the 32 teams in the NFL wrong about him? Miami had him and cut him twice in favor of a guy from a bottom feeder UNC team. Wentz has played a full one seson as a starter and yet he is the next Flacco? I guess that would have made Jensen the next Montana or Manning going into the draft his senior year.
Actually many NDSU fans wished Wentz had gotten the starting nod over Jensen, They would have had a much better offense. However, how do you bench a QB that just won a National title?
Wentz is certainly no Molberg or Studsrud, but I am glad NDSU has him.
-
Bingo!! In fact with the BSC being so negative why did NDSU, SDSU, try to join? And in the case of USD if it wasn't for a backdoor deal they would've joined to. Bison fans should have embraced joining the Gateway/Midcon not put it down like they did in the beginning, oh and don't forget how pissed fans and I am sure Gene Taylor was when the BSC picked UNC to join over them. But not a peep of negativity until UND was offered a full membership.
OK, lets say you are right and NDSU fans favored the BSC over a Gateway/MidCon combo, which I disagree with. NDSU fans preferred the BSC over the Great West/No football conference combo. But lets say you are correct and NDSU fans favored the BSC over the MVFC/Summit. Now that everybody has seen both options, I for one and I think most NDSU fans and UND fans would agree the MVFC/Summit combo is better.
-
Nice cheap shot. Is that how you always debate people?
I just cannot get excited about a league full of schools like IUPUI and IPFW.
It appears that your fans can't get excited about football or basketball games against schools like Portland St, Sac St., Southern Utah, Northern Arizona, or even Montana or Montana State either. Perhaps they would get more excited by playing NDSU, SDSU, and USD yearly in FB and twice a year in BB.
Say what you want, but since NDSU has been in the MVFC/Summit and UND has been in the BSC, The Summit/MVFC combo has been better in the 3 major sports that most care about, Football and Men's and Women's basketball.

He was fired. You conveniently forgot to mention that.
He was fired because he ran into a parked vehicle while drunk with students in his van. He was arrested for a DUI the summer before and not suspended for it. Instead, he was allowed to continue coaching and allowed to continue driving his players on road trips.
There was no choice that he was going to have to be fired. Don't give Faison any credit for that firing.
-
. DUI should result in a suspension for a couple games because it's a serious screw-up that can cost people their lives.
Unless of course you are a head coach of a UND team, in which case you get no suspension and you actually get to drive your players around drunk with no license. BRILLIANT, in the words of The Common Man.

Here is the dealio: Quit lying, just stop. The Ellefson example was horrible and included such little forethought it is sad. The kid had multiple FCS offers and an FBS offer and you are saying UND is trying to talk to him on January 27th? Sigh. Besides that, UND is in no position to steal a kid from a program that is better than them. They know it and aren't stupid. Especially a player with that many offers. At least give us a realistic example if you are going to lie.
So Mr. All Knowing All Seeing UND-1, where did I say UND coaches were in contact with Ellefson on January 27th. I said they have contacted him since he committed to NDSU, which was back in July. I thought UND fans were getting their undies in a bunch because of the contact with UND recruits after their commitments. I didn't say anything about Ellefson being contacted by UND coaches recently. Maybe Tom Miller can file on open records request on all of the UND coaches cell phone records since July and we can find out who is lying?
-
As long as we're at it, interesting to see the unofficial mouth piece for the NDSU staff taking a shot a UND while responding to a tweet of a recent UND verbal . The kid must have hurt some feelings at NDSU or something after sitting next to one of the coach's on his flight. I guess that wasn't enough because there's been quite a few comments talking down on UND's class the last few days as well.
Stay classy Fargo.
That UND verbal took a shot at NDSU when he tweeted about his verbal, I take it he was looking for a response from NDSU fans with his hashtag.
He better be careful, he may need Fargo and NDSU. If he turns out to be as good as UND fans think and he has a chance to play at the next level, he will need to have NDSU invite him down to Fargo for their pro day to show off in front of the scouts. God knows UND doesn't have one. I wonder if that is in Bubba's recruiting script. We aren't good enough to have a pro day, but in the off chance we get someone good enough, NDSU is nice enough to let our players go to theirs. They have one every year.

SiouxVolley says give it a couple of years. They haven't quite worked it out with Goodell if the top of the BSC is going to be their own conference in the AFC or NFC.
