Yes, the sport that puts a $2M dent in an athletic budget that gets no attendance. You have an undefeated Fargo North/South combined program this year. Plus, Fargo Davies and West Fargo United are all having great seasons. It's time for NDSU to account for it's survey/interest based Title IX scheme.

Hey, John boy could you fire up that Title IX - womens hockey lawsuit for the ladies in Fargo. It's time to call NDSU's bluff on Title IX.

Don't they need to add sports? And Title IX could be a problem.

From the article: 'The University of North Dakota’s latest four-year contract with Midco Sports runs out this year, too, but there are a pair of two-year options that could bring the deal through 2029-30. It seems unlikely UND and Midco would not agree on the option, probably with some tweaks to the original contract given Midco’s shrunken state.' I’ve really enjoyed what Midco has done for UND athletics over the years. Their push with Summit League and NSIC coverage also gives them access to CCHA and NCHC schools. Within the NCHC, there’s overlap with UND, Omaha, and St. Thomas, as well as UMD and St. Cloud State. That results in five shared schools overall. Hopefully this helps push NCHC streaming over to Midco.

Nice to see, I know that Midco Sports Plus carried NSIC M/W Basketball Conference Tournaments. The current conference line-up is: Summit League (all teams), CCHA (all teams), MVFC (USD, SDSU, UND) and Pioneer League (St. Thomas).

Not sure where to put this but I thought that it was an interesting read. This summer around June/July we should be hearing some news on media deals for Summit League/MVFC peer schools. He does note that the Summit League Streaming network is not meeting projections. McFeely’s Tip Sheet: TV rights deals for NDSU, SDSU, USD all in play (maybe) https://www.inforum.com/sports/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/mcfeelys-tip-sheet-tv-rights-deals-for-ndsu-sdsu-usd-all-in-play-maybe

It is already posted on the USD Athletics website.

Ouch, that hurts. and the New Head Coach is: Matt Vitzthum was named the 32nd head coach in program history on February 6, 2026 after two seasons on staff at South Dakota. He's been on staff for two FCS Playoff runs including a semifinals run in 2024. He's worked with both the Coyote wide receivers (2024) and quarterbacks (2025), including the final season of Coyote great Aidan Bouman. He was the OC at Grand Valley St. (Mich) for 11 yrs and the new OC at USD has ties to Grand Valley St. also.

Do you give Eli Gillman a call?

What are the dollar amounts?

Yikes, 3 months on the job - Fired. Now a lawsuit...

I would love to get the big guy from Prior Lake..

Quick question, did UND get a commitment from the OL out of Prior Lake, MN that decommitted from Iowa St?

It looks like something from PNW. Pacific Northwest is a guess... not sure exactly what this means.

Is Lincoln in the portal?

Here is the graphic: USD, SDSU, UNI, Rhode Island, UNH, FBS Central Michigan and others..

I thought that the ISU - RB has multiple valley teams including SDSU and USD in his graphic.

Maybe it was the change in conferences and location? Midwest OL and running game vs Northwest producing QB and WRs.

It looks like he got in trouble for trying to cut programs when a structural deficient was in place. In other words, he was right sizing the programs. So, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Faculty Senate voted overwhelmingly to support a no-confidence resolution against Bennett. When is the public sector going to understand balancing a budget..

ISU and MSU fans are showing out. The stadium looks full. Good game so far.

I live in MN and I have been sending FOIA information to the State for the last 3 years about a home in my neighborhood. It is a literaly scam that they are running in the Metro. I am sure that it is happening all over the cities. Again, no problem if people are starting companies to help people. But, that is not what is going on - they are simply making trying to make money. People in the homes are are being abused - trust me... I have the 911 records and I have been trying to get a meeting with HHS for years with no response. .. Here is an example:

Actually, when my daughter was playing HS volleyball only a couple of years ago. It was generally acknowledged that the midwest had execellent high school volleyball. Maybe that has changed. "While exact state-by-state numbers aren't readily available in snippets, data shows over 470,000 girls played high school volleyball in the US in 2022-23, making it incredibly popular, second only to outdoor track, with states like California, Texas, Nebraska, and Minnesota leading in overall participation and competitiveness." https://renathletics.com/blogs/news/the-best-states-for-volleyball?srsltid=AfmBOopcvV8k3-C7RW1XLyD5HJtxk2yolAuv8JZ8fljajE8rjo0oyuRu 1)CA, 2)TX, 3)NE, 4)MN, 5)IL, 6)PA, 7)WI 3,4,5 & 7 are areas UND recruits for other sports. I think a regional coach with strong connections should thive.

Here are the non MVFC school Top 16. Non MVFC 2 Montana State AA = 75.50 3 Montana AA = 68.56 4 Tarleton State AA = 66.13 8 Stephen F. Austin AA = 61.76 9 Villanova AA = 61.71 11 UC Davis AA = 60.06 13 Lehigh AA = 59.24 14 Yale AA = 58.93 16 Abilene Christian AA = 57.69

"Kalen DeBoer was a finalist for the University of North Dakota (UND) head football coaching job in December 2013, alongside Bubba Schweigert, with both working as coordinators at Southern Illinois" I do think his point still stands. DeBoer was a very strong coach within the region who in fact, defeated UND head to head. And I was at that game. It was clear UND was out coached that game. 2009 - UND 13 / USF 28 2011 - UND 15 / USF 13
