Similiar to Omaha and Denver the new St. Thomas facility will host both Basketball and Hockey.

For me: Denver St. Thomas (I live in the cities - looking forward to this series) Western ASU UMD CC Omaha Miami Clowns - Who?? - Give me Augie or Mankato over the clowns.

It looks like UND left some money on the table with the FBS/A4 Games this year: Other Dakota FCS/FBS A4 Games North Dakota at Kansas State $475,000 South Dakota at Iowa State $575,000 Other Peer Schools: Youngstown State at Michigan State $725,000 Montana State at Oregon $680,000 Idaho at Washington State $625,000 Weber State at Arizona $625,000

The entire athletic department has been playing catch up since the decision in 2003. This fall when everything is complete with the Hyslop at Memorial Village, Nodak Insurance Company Sports Performance Center and Field House Memorial Village. UND will be on even ground with the peer Dakota schools.

And he has 4 yrs.

Meeting the new goal would be an accomplishment. The one thing I didn't see mentioned was the update to Aviation Operations at the airport. Is that still something the school is looking to achieve? New Goal: The campaign goal has been raised to $625 million.

Noted this in the GFH article: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/schlossman-whats-happening-at-college-hockeys-annual-meetings Each team's revenue share is different depending on how many subscribers the school pulls in. UND makes more than a half million dollars annually on it. The NCHC wants both its TV rights and streaming rights to open at the same time in 2027, so it can package them together.

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).
