FSSD

I am excited about this get. Welcome aboard!!

Yes all Notre Dame home games are on Peacock. It would still potentially give the conference Irish road games. Trust me, I understand that working with the Irish could be working with the devil. Let's face it: NCHC has UND, DU, StT and ASU Big Ten: UW, OSU, UM, UM, MSU, PSU and Irish. If they start adding USC or UCLA or UW or UO. Those are 4 more big pieces. Hockey East: BC, BU, Prov, UConn The NCHC is going to need to start developing pieces to complete: Like I said, UNLV, Ariz, USAF, UMKC, Simon Frazier (BC). Do you start talking to SEC schools Texas and Georgia. Notre Dame's home hockey games are broadcast exclusively on Peacock, according to NBC Sports.

I wonder if NCHC is simply regrouping with StT joining in 2026. In 2027, you could go to market with: StT, ASU, UND, and Denver. Plus, do they start to work with UNLV or UMKC to see what could be done. Have they checked in on Notre Dame to see if they are happy with the Big 10. NCHC needs to be proactive in managing it's schools. How is Miamii doing? What is the status of SCSU and UMD. I went to a UMD series this year and it was maybe 1/2 full both nights. Do, both of them have the resources to compete in the new NIL world. Are we preparing for another major shift in college hockey?

Not sure were to put this but: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/akron-handed-2025-bowl-ban-zips-flunk-out-of-postseason-after-failing-to-meet-ncaa-academic-standards/amp/ Missouri St (ex MVFC ), Murray State (new member) and Utah Tech (potential member) all hit with reduced practice time. Akron was one of only three football programs to hit a multi-year APR rate low enough to miss the postseaso across all of Division I. Mississippi Valley State and UAPB in the FCS ranks will also be ineligible for postseason play. Florida A&M, Missouri State, Murray State and Utah Tech all received practice time reductions for low APR rates.

My info is old: The PL made a change in 2023. https://pioneer-football.org/news/2023/8/1/IMPORTED_STORY_1823.aspx The Pioneer Football League’s Presidents Council named Greg Walter the league’s second commissioner, effective August 1. Walter, who has served as the PFL’s associate commissioner since 2013, brings two decades of collegiate athletics experience, including an extensive background in leadership roles within the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), into his new role with the league. In addition, Patty Viverito will remain an advisor to the Pioneer Football League after serving as commissioner since the league’s founding in 1993.

Patty V was the comish for both the PL and MVFC.

The reality is that they didn't replace Patty V. They just split her role between two existing conference commisioners (cost savings move?). Plus, any word on what is going on with the Pioneer League?

That advantage could last about a month.. If Texas schools or Utah schools are added to tSL you are looking at a 5(MVC)-6(tSL)-1(HL)

Are you talking about the soccer coach or the DEI program?

This report isn't what SUU and the WAC need right now. This is not good news: To be fair, SUU has denied these allegations. https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/southern-utah/southern-utah-ad-denies-report-that-school-is-under-title-ix-investigation

He was dishing out some hurt. It looks like a couple of guys got hurt in his video clips.

Simon had surgery at the end of the season. It sounded like the RB Sawyer also had surgery.

Have they released an update roster for the Scrimmage today?

It will be interesting to see how these new businesses on campus changes things.

Minneapolis’ Surly Brewing announces taproom and pizzeria in Grand Forks Surly is expanding its footprint to the UND campus in partnership with Short or Tall Eatery & Drink Hall of Rogers, which is also opening a second location that will adjoin the Surly space. Both of the beer-heavy eateries will be located at the foot of a new five-story residential complex in Grand Forks called Memorial Village, across from the school’s Memorial Stadium along N. Columbia Road. https://www.startribune.com/surly-brewing-expanding-minneapolis-grand-forks-und-craft-beer/601339190

That injury looked tough. I am sure he had to put in alot of work to get back on the field.

In addition to the updated interchange. The golf course is going to get a major redesign. Number 1 - no change Number 2 - par 5 - is going to be two holes. 1) par 4 (old tee box/new green) 3) par 3 (new tee box/slight modes on old green). Number 3 - no change Number 4 - new tee box/new green still par 3 Number 5 - new tee box Number 6 - new green - shorten to a par 4 Number 7 - gone Number 8 - reworked new tee box/new hreen still par 3 Number 9 - no change. Previously was a par 36 (2-5/2-3) New course looks like a par 33 (no par 5s, and 3 par 3s - rest all par 4s)

NCHC TV is a subscription service. X% of the subscription goes to the conference and the rest goes to the schools. I don't think ESPN+ access pays the schools or conference.

Serious question, how much money is there for Track and Field and throwing events? This in no way is meant to dismiss his season. A T/F meet is one of my favorite events to attend. Howard Wood in Sioux Falls is one my favorites.

I could see your point if sports paid for themselves. I think UND athletics department runs on apprimately 50% schools funds (and this does not count the $100s M in capital inverstment). Right now you have the foundation of the old system (scholarship/education) propping up the new (NIL/Transfer Portal) system. No doubt the P4's will always survive due to TV money. I don't know about the long term for the rest. I can see more and more sports being cut and do you see the public/private support for facilites at lower level in 10/20 yrs?

One channel for all games.

Keep up the good work!!

Fact Check: True

Dale Lennon DII UND to FCS SIU, Hak going Pro.. other than that: Oh, I forgot Kalen Deboer UND to Alabama.. oh no that was Bubba - nope, Jones - nope, Volleyball coaches nope, W. Basketball nope... My gosh that is bad.. Well, here are the AD's on field accomplishments per his resume since 2018. "the Fighting Hawks capture a conference football title in their first year in the MVFC as well as the men’s basketball and women’s tennis programs reaching the Summit League title games in 2020 and 2023, respectively." It is sim pickings..

The Utah Valley comment is interesting. Was that in the newsletter he released today? I really don't see what Utah Valley brings and I really don't see what SUU and Utah Tech bring. So, the value is in numbers.. which means schools are leaving.
