FSSD

So, you are saying there is a reason to watch?

I still remember Hendrickson game against SDSU. Sat 9/15 @SDSU L 49-41 27 50 434 54.0 4 1

Agreed $10 discount for package seem lite. But, I think there longer term play is to pull in NCHC in addition to CCHA. The $129.99 per year is in line with NCHC TV - last year it was $116. Looking forward to the day UND is on one streaming platform. Right now I pay, $116 NCHC TV(not sure if there is a price hike this year or not) plus $80 - Total $196 annually. I do enjoy the production quality on Midco. I think we are lucky UND partnered with them.

I hate to hear about the injuries, wish the young man all the best.

Hey, does anyone know anything about this: New for the 2024 season, Alerus Center is launching on-field suites for all home UND football games. Stationed at the southeast corner of the end zone, this space will provide up close and personal views that are unmatched throughout the facility. Food and beverage service will be available through the standard suite operation and will also include other premium upgrades such as complimentary VIP parking in the Valvoline Instant Parking lot, expedited entry through the VIP doors, dedicated restrooms for those field suites, and exclusive on-field access to be able to access the space.

Example: Rice and NAU:

Interest read from Matt Brown today. https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/actually-college-sports-needs-space-oxen I think he touches on why I think the "Hawk" is such a disaster. And why didn't UND lean into its history and promote successful areas of the school. Just one example could have been the aviation program. I remember numerous name recommendations in the area. But, we ended up with the "Hawks".

LOL - I'm still bitter... give me a year or two.

If you don't think it has anything to do with the Pride Parade, why mention the Pride Parade? Maybe something like this, "Two housing challenged stabbed in Downtown, suspect in custody."

I was hoping for the First "Teeder" report of the fall.

That looks like a "N" and a "D". And the white blob in the middle with an eye is a "Hawk". Really? The new Yote, laps that hot mess. In case anyone was wondering what my vote was on this pole - "F-"

I am not sure.

Will UND move from 18 to 26 scholarships. I assume they will. Are they going to add - woman basketball, softball and volleyball scholarships to meet this change to support Title IX.

UND 24 - TR Freshman, 25 - RS Freshman, 21 - Sophomores, 21 - Juniors, 9 - Seniors, 5 - Fifth Year, 2 - Grad Is this the new portal structure? Comparing it to SDSU is interesting. SDSU - 21 - Freshman, 29 Sophomores, 14 Juniors, 29 - Seniors, 1 - Grad (NOTE: I am not sure how current the roster is for SDSU).

Agreed - If this is all true. The P4 has effectively broken away from all other schools while being under the control of the NCAA.

No Ethan Ball - that is surprising - I was thinking that he would get more playing time this year. Hope it isn't a career injury type of thing.

Based on the text "power conference commissioners finalized". I assumed P4 only. With the settlement payouts I think most FCS schools are fine to sit tight. And if they did what's the difference between G5 and FCS. Plus, only 10 to 20 schools could actually afford to do it. The G5/top of FCS merger is getting closer ever year. In addition, I didn't see anything on hockey, that would be an interesting change.

That is one heck of a bug/find.

According to a report from Yahoo! Sports, power conference commissioners finalized the roster-size limits under which athletic departments will be able to allocate millions of dollars in new scholarships. Football will have a roster limit of 105, up from the 85-man NCAA scholarship limit that currently exists. Baseball will also see a massive increase in scholarship / roster size, going from 11.7 scholarship slots to 34. Basketball will increase from 13 to 15. Softball will increase from 12 to 25, while volleyball will increase from 12 to 18. https://www.on3.com/news/ncaa-approves-new-roster-size-limits-paving-way-for-additional-scholarships/ Extra 20 scholarships per program for P4.. So, we have 105 for P4, 85 for G5 and 63 for FCS. That is a big jump. all 105 (+20) Basketball 15 (+2) Baseball 34 (+22.3) Softball 25 (+13) Volleyball 18 (+6)

When do they release/post the roster?

NCAA Tournament Credits for each conference: 2017-2018 MVC - 25 / Summit League - 7 This workout to ~ $780 per MVC school 2023-2024 MVC - 9 / Summit League - 8 This workout to ~ per school. MVC $290K / SL $305 Previously the Summit League aspired to be more like the MVC. Unfortunately in today's NCAA the MVC has moved to toward being more like the Summit League. The MVC is in rapid decline once you get past the public schools - U of Ill -Chicago, SIU and ISU you don't have much. And those public schools are centered around Chicago, Illinois which is doing it's best to destroy itself. The MVC private schools are very small once you get past Belmont and Drake - DU and St. Thomas are larger schools in larger metro areas. In many ways the Summit League schools have passed the MVC schools. I guess another way to put it - only two schools in the Summit are not R1 or R2. Only three schools in the MVC are R1 or R2. But, the MVC has the basketball pedigree and that matters. But, less and less each year.

And more national presences on CBS Sports Network, NCHC and Summit League.

Thanks - it appeared to be out of date.

Quick question, is the roster on UND Insider current?

That is why you shouldn't think of it as a single game event. Look at it as a starting point for something like the early season events in Sioux Falls each year. How do you build a similar event in Grand Forks? Example: The Field of 68 Opening Day Showcase at the Pentagon July 3, 2024 SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Field of 68, a college basketball media network bringing basketball fans premier sports content, is partnering with Sanford Sports and the Sanford Pentagon to launch a new, innovative event on the opening day of the college basketball season. On Nov. 4, the Sanford Pentagon will host ‘The Field of 68 Opening Day Showcase,’ an event featuring matchups between six of the best programs in college basketball. The inaugural event features the matchups of Saint Louis vs. Santa Clara, College of Charleston vs. Southern Illinois and McNeese State vs. South Dakota State. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. CT, August 1 at ticketmaster.com. The times of the games will be released later. The games will be broadcast on The Field of 68’s YouTube Channel and X feeds, and the network’s popular After Dark show will go live from the Sanford Pentagon at10:00.
