Was at the fb alumni golf pre-party last night. Lots of great stuff going on with the program. Schmitty spoke for about 15 minutes. Easy to see why he’s getting kids to come to UND and play hard for him and the team. Great leader and genuine.

I believe the new NCAA "5 for 5" rule starts this year. 5 years to complete 5 years of eligibility, no more redshirts but can play for 5 years. Lots of talk about this regarding hockey but will impact football as well. No more limit of 4 games played to keep redshirt. From a google search: The NCAA’s "5-for-5" rule is a Division I age-based eligibility model that allows student-athletes to compete for up to five seasons within a five-year period. [1, 2] The NCAA Division I Cabinet unanimously adopted the rule to streamline roster management and eliminate archaic redshirt requirements. Key structural details of the rule include: [1, 2] Clock Start Date: An athlete’s five-year eligibility clock begins at their initial full-time college enrollment or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. [1, 2] Elimination of Redshirts: Traditional redshirt years and sport-specific eligibility waivers (such as medical hardship waivers) are largely eliminated. Because every athlete is allotted five seasons, developmental and injury-plagued years are naturally absorbed without the need for extensions. [1, 2, 3]

This thread is titled Non-UND FCS News/Scores. I propose it sticks to that and another thread could be created for News/Scores for teams that are not UND and not FCS for people that want to discuss that.

I see that she finished 5th and did qualify in the 5000m also

May all be true. You called BS on my post. This doesn’t impact whether what I posted is BS or not. I’m just saying I had that conversation and that is what they told me.

Why would Tom’s reporting or lack thereof impact the truthfulness of my post? At the time we were talking about all of the issues SU fb was facing including Best Buy theft. He said they were all wondering what scandal would come up next. I pressed him on why, as reporters, they didn’t tell what they knew. He told me they’d be cut off from the team if they did.

I have an acquantice that is a prominent NDSU sports media personality. Around the Best Buy timeframe he told me that they know that if they report that kind of thing they'll not be allowed back on campus.

UND recruited him but in the end he and his family decided he’d be better off getting out of Zach’s shadow.

Looking at a number of posts from conf meet where UND athletes flashing a Hawks hand gesture on podium or with trophy. Haven’t seen it before. Does it extend beyond T&F?

Thanks. I didn’t mean for the emoji. I had two question marks which must default to that.

Haven't seen anything on Ethan Thomas this season. Is he hurt or

I used to travel to Beijing for work once a year 10-20 years ago. The smog was incredible if the wind was low. Beijing has some geographical traits that cause the pollution from surrounding areas to settle and concentrate there. We tracked the air quality index (AQI) closely out of curiosity and avoided spending time outside when it was bad. We used the index put out by the US Embassy (which was close to our hotel) because the Chinese rating was often understated. At times we couldn't see across the street it was so bad and could taste it too. I was there a couple of times where the rate was off the chart bad. Yuck. Beijing had rules on when you could drive your car based on last digit of license plate. The higher up people in our company had two cars so they could drive every day. Also people picked their own plate numbers so most ca plates ended in lucky numbers. On days those cars we off the street it made a bigger difference. I'm reading that China's CO2 emissions have been flat or slightly falling since March 2024. I'd be curious to go back and see if anything has changed in the polution levels in Beijing.

He didn’t really mean ‘we didn’t want her’. It’s just standard schtick when a recruit turns us down or someone leaves.
