FSSD

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Thanks - it appeared to be out of date.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.

Are you kidding? Somebody better tell the Big East These schools all play in multipurpose Basketball/hockey arenas and this list is limited to the Big East: Creighton, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's (Madison Square Garden), UConn (XL Center), Villanova

The all-weather “Hawkway” between "Hsylop" at Memorial Village and the "Fritz" Pollard Athletic Center will be built out by the old brick from Memorial Stadium (I think).

This could be interesting. St. Paul can be tricky this way they have a branch of the Interstate System 35E with a speed limit of 45 and serious load restrictions.

I completely disagree - Midco has done a great job . They have provided great exposure for UND sports. I hope that they are able to make the streaming platform work and that they are able to get Summit League/MVFC and NCHC all under one umbrella. People complain about UND sports being segmented to watch. I would say that is more of a function of UND having its sports all over the place in multiple conferences. UND needs to keep working to get all of its sports in a single sports conference. The Summit League would be better served if they sponsored Football, Basketball and Hockey.

I think it is called HCU Houston Christian University - I think previously it was called Houston Baptist University - in the Southland Conference. Ex-Great West School.

I thought that July 1st was move in day for the new athletic offices. I was expecting a bit of social media.. is it happening or did I have the wrong date?

I always thought they jumped on a train Iike a bunch of Hobos.

Really looking forward to this season.

Oh, it was clear to me, I just wanted to add some context about the differences in programs. And the Aviation programs are absolutely not comparable.

Are you serious - good Aviation program? What aviation program? I just looked it up they have an aviation program. But there is absolutely no comparison between the two aviation programs. Here are the graduation and retention number for 2022 at SDSU. 2016FA (Fall 2016-Summer 2022) Start 20 Graduated 6 30% And many consider the engineering programs at SDSU as the second-best program in the State after SDSM&T. IMO, SDSU is a good school. I have many friends who have attended. But it needs to get the Dairy program going again and look at Veterinary programs. You know BE the State's "Ag" school. What is more important to the State? Ag or Aviation. Apparently not Ag based on some of SDSU's actions. South Dakota State students fight closure of Dairy Research and Training Facility https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=c7f11382fdd01dcbJmltdHM9MTcxODU4MjQwMCZpZ3VpZD0zYzI1ZWU4NC0wNTQxLTYyMWQtM2RiOC1mZWQ4MDRhNzYzOTcmaW5zaWQ9NTMxOA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=3c25ee84-0541-621d-3db8-fed804a76397&psq=Dairy++Progam+at++South+Dakota+State+closing&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYWd3ZWVrLmNvbS9saXZlc3RvY2svZGFpcnkvc291dGgtZGFrb3RhLXN0YXRlLXN0dWRlbnRzLWZpZ2h0LWNsb3N1cmUtb2YtZGFpcnktcmVzZWFyY2gtYW5kLXRyYWluaW5nLWZhY2lsaXR5&ntb=1

Yes, and now the rest of the athletic department has freed up money that would have gone for those hockey scholarships. It's a win/win.

Not a fan but I raise you, "Minnesota"

And the USD at SDSU game.

Agreed, this is up to the head coach not the AD unless another incidents took place.

You forgot free college and college debt cancellation for all that qualify (non profits and government workers).

Ah, crap I deserved that.... when I looked at the page I was looking for a general A4 versus G5 norm and did see one. Thanks, for an informative substitute.

Who is this?

It would be nice to see this with 4th Quartile of A4, G5, FCS. I think UND and NDSU would be very comparable to G5 schools.

That could be true about UST. But, I think the advantages are going to be: 1) Local recruits know UST. And UST has a higher profile than SCSU, MSU or UMD. They will be very competitive recruiting against other Minnesota schools. 2) Transfer Portal: MSP location plus UST graduate programs will be a very enticing option in the portal. 3) NIL money: UST can be a player in a NIL world. 4) Commitment to high level hockey: When they have $140 million dollar arena coming in. I think that means commitment. I see UST being a tough opponent in the very near future. As far as conference size, I would be fine with Miami, WMU and SCSU moving to the CCHA. See the budgets that I have posted previously.

Why do you think that? Is your only thought that the conference is too big?

They are already at CCHA level along with Miami and W. Michigan.
