FSSD

I think the big question is what do the remaining 2 do? The best asset that they have is that they are the P-12 and have all the assets and payments for various conference payouts in the near future. Of course, the TV deal will drop. But, they still have access to Football Playoffs. Based on this, I think the Pac10 goes full Big XII and guts the MWC and AAC and goes across all four time zones. They simply add the best 10 or 12 schools in G5.

Is this Memorial Village?

I love the Midco coverage, and they do a great job. Maybe someday, midco can get the rights to all UND sports and stream on their platform. It was be so nice.

I would say Detroit also.

As I understand the Bill in Minnesota it simply covers tuition and fees after other grants and scholarships have been counted toward the students bill. They have budgeted roughly $117 million to set up the program and estimates it will cost nearly $50 million a year after that. But, there is no guarantee after the two year window, the current legislature passed through numerous programs that will require a 20% increase in tax revenue in two years to cover all future programs. My guess is that in two years many things will be cut. But, my point is that the cost difference between attending North Dakota schools versus attending Minnesota schools is not going to be great. Because the largest discounts would be coming from Federal Programs which would apply to both schools. In addition, this program is only applied to Tuition. The other silver lining is in the long run. It's Minnesota, the Higher Education Public Service Union Complex will figure out a way to screw it all up and make things 10x worse in the long run. That is what happens when you throw money at things in Minnesota. I also wonder how much of this is North Dakota schools playing politics. FULL DISCLOSURE: Minnesota Tax Payer.

Well that was embarrassing 

It is not, per Department of Education Numbers EF Male Count: 4590 approximately 51% EF Female Count: 4397 approximately 49% EF Total Count: 8987

You also need to remember that the SDs have mortgages on those new facilities to be paid.

I think the difference you are talking about is around $5 million. But, you need to consider the differences in programs supports by the department. NDSU has taken a very strategic approach to moving into FCS much like the Montana schools. But, moving up to FBS and MW could change some of those approaches. NOTE: Source USA Today Database.

I agree on the scholarships.. but I thought that NDSU fully funded all sports. And if moving to FBS is going to require an additional 22 for football. Would NDSU need to add a sport? Which could mean an additional 22 or so for a women's sports to get to the $6 number. And at what point are the FBS schools who are making up their own rules going to drop the two approaches to title IX. And go with equal opportunity. The day that comes you would see a sizable shift in resources at NDSU. All things to be considered prior to making the move.

Oh, I think Norman is going to be a big loss for UND. Maybe others can fill part of that role. But, pure shooter is missing.

LOL, I thought that I was the only Jethro that did that.. I used Colgate because it was white and matched the wall color. Crest light mint green was too obvious.

Alerus Center with more improvements that will help.

You are assuming that SCSU was ever an educational institution.

Could there be some naming rights for Phase II being discussed as part of this contract.

It looks like the wiki uses a different system for input. I think it comes from - Public NTSE Tables (nacubo.org) Not sure what the reporting differences are.. But, I already feel like I am too deep into the weeds. Tapping out on this one, just wanted to square up the conversation that I appeared to start. Sorry, if I caused turbulence on this topic.

Since I was on the site a couple of others for reference: NDSU - 596,239,920 Wyoming (2020) - 580,989,996 UND - $509,567,035 Idaho - 429,288,893 USD - 354,609,394 SDSU - 333,342,228 Montana (2020) - 325,214,671 Montana St (2020) - 310,930,064

And NDSU Foundation

So, you are saying $509,567,035 Alumni: Aerospace:

The "State of Ohio" and "Pound Helmet" are weak. The others are nice.

Are you talking about this?

Fun video, I kind of wonder if St. John's would be interested in a move similar to what St. Thomas did now that a process is in place. Maybe tSL leadership should check the temperature on that option. A tSL football conference with the rivalries of SJU/StT, UND/NDSU, USD/SDSU and the other combinations would be fun.

So, you would have: Hockey: Summit - Omaha/Denver/UND/StT (4) Non Summit - SCSU/CC/UMD/WM/UM (5) Football: USD/SDSU/UND/NDSU/StT (5)

If the NCHC is bringing in another school with ASU. I would hope that it would be St. Thomas hockey. Or I would be all in favor of kicking St. Cloud out - they should have never been included to start with.

Oh yeah, I get the Summit League. I was never a fan of moving to the Summit League. But, there is going to be a lot of movement in the West this time. So, you are going to see opportunities popping up that were not possible before. If the 4 Dakota schools are not locked together. Then UND made a major strategic blunder.
