    I'm not sure the Big Sky is sustainable from a cost standpoint. I also like the idea of playing our traditional rivals in conference play. NDSU, USD, SDSU would bring a lot more interest and excitement than anybody in the Big Sky. I know there are dogs in the MVFC/Summit but there are just as many in the Big Sky and they are missing the midwest teams that we grew up hating and competing against. It will be a long time, if ever, before we build the same intense rivalries with the Big Sky teams. I also like the idea of being able to drive to away games against those teams plus UNI.

    I don't believe UND will eliminate women's hockey because of Title IX. It is arguably the highest profile women's team due to consistently ranking in the top 10-15 nationally and would face a lot of criticism for that reason.

    NDSU administration has been very clear by their actions that their intention is to stick it to UND football for not scheduling them during their transition. I don't think they are looking to do us any favors with a large issue like league membership.

    This is why we aren't in the MVFC and Summit. We tried for 4+ years and were constantly turned down. At some point we had to make a move and took the Big Sky offer. It's revisionist history to say that we should have waited on a MVFC/Summit offer. It wasn't coming and we needed a football home. I hope that has changed but I haven't heard that it has.

    Let's be clear. there aren't many on here arguing for FBS.

    I could be wrong but at the time we joined the Big Sky I think it was all or nothing with them

    We are going too. Section 121 is the UND section i called the ticket office out there and they sold me tickets in the UND section

    I was told from people in the athletic department when this was going on that an MVFC invite was what we needed and then we would have done the summit/MVFC combo. with no football conference coming we had had not choice but the Big Sky and it was superior considering that it included a home for the football team. would you have expected him to say we were settling for the Big Sky?
  9. Siouxperman8
    Without a home for football the Summit visit was meaningless and nothing was coming from the MVFC. We got a Big Sky invite on the eve of the Summit visit and couldn't afford to turn it down. They had 4-5 years to extend an invite if they were serious.

    Schlossman tweeted that an announcement was coming Monday or Tuesday so he knew it was gonna get out. The email opens up a ton of questions. Find an hour to answer questions is all I am saying.

    I guess it didn't really matter why they didn't want us but they didn't and we had to find a home. I was explaining why we took the Big Sky offer. I think we should be in the Summit/MVFC if they would take us but I haven't heard that is an option. is it?
  12. Siouxperman8
    we asked for 4-5 years and were told to pound sand. I am sure there are still discussions but we are in the Big Sky because the Summit/MVFC said no to UND over and over and over again.

    That's an interesting take. Where is the multi-tasking? My problem is that he didn't multi-task and make himself available. I am advocating being accessible when you drop a bombshell like he just did. There's no way that flies in a well run corporation, why in academia? When is the bus trip back in GF? Tomorrow or the next day? if he couldn't wait for that he should have have found a cell phone or some way to be available to answer questions (multi-task). I believe there is cell phone coverage in western ND by now.

    I doubt there was anything pressing that forced Kennedy to release this today. Why couldn't he have waited a day or two until he was back in town to address the plan in person? That is what I would expect from a leader.

    I've been more open to accepting the new logo but that's a bad hat.

    My daughter calls GF the 'Land of No Acceleration'
  17. Siouxperman8
    Everybody on here misses the Sioux name and logo and wishes we still had them. We don't have them and they aren't coming back.
  18. Siouxperman8
    Is that an option? It hasn't been in the past.

    The statement from Taylor to my NDSU guy was that NDSU wouldn't schedule UND in football as long as Taylor and Chapman were at SU. Nothing about GF, Fargo or any other location.
  20. Siouxperman8
    From a good source close to the situation at NDSU - Taylor and Chapman stated they would not play UND in football under their watch regardless of the situation. Demanded, asked, every year, every other year....... none of it mattered when those two were in charge. They only reason they are playing at all is that Taylor changed the terms one last time (reduced the payout) and threw out one more offer that he figured would be unacceptable to UND on his way out the door. It was only done for spite. To his surprise Bubba told Faison to take it.

    Calling BS as you suggested and hypocrisy.

    What was found was a total lack of integrity by Bresciani. The media policy was just the trigger. He was caught lying and throwing a subordinate under the bus to save his own arse. Not the kind of person that most people would want running their school or company.
  23. Siouxperman8
    Bresciani has recently made some statements that a president shouldn't make either. That's what got him in all this trouble.

    I have met Kevin a few times at football alumni events. He was extremely welcoming and personable from the first minute I talked to him. UND is in good hands as long as he is on the staff.

    Again with him - no credibility and no ownership of his actions. Always somebody else's fault.
