FSSD

email sent 5 hours ago - If I have to pay more for season tickets so be it.... schedule other home and home with other teams - move on.

Johnny Boy is just begging to get banned right now.. don't get it.

Of course one major difference - ONE SCHOOL WAS LEAVING THE CONFERENCE and PLAYING IN ANOTHER DIVISION

This and a original contract with a buyout of $10,000

Not sure about - Miami and W. Michigan for games as you said, but I would think that Denver would be interested in a home and home they are fairly regional. I think Omaha/KC/Vermillion/Brookings/Fargo would all be looking for home and home match ups.

No dog in the fight, but won't the P5 commissioners want more G5 or G conferences. Because, the cost of buying games for the P5s would go down (supply/demand). The cost of no-return G conference games has gone up significantly. The P5 conferences would lose nothing they have identified the pool of money for the G conferences.

When they start sending threatening letters to elected officials - then you can talk, but until then let them have there fun.. relax. If you want to clean up a message board start with BV, when you have that thing ship shape come on over.

I like that the NDSU game is on a Saturday. I might be able to travel for the game. UND tends to have the NDSU games during the week which makes it impossible to attend.

I wonder if there is much chatter between Sayler and Faison after the USD going MVFC/Summit vs Big Sky. I remember Saylor talking to the media about how UND and USD were paired together during the conference shuffle.

Miami IPF is going to be 90,000 sq ft SDSU IPF is going to be 150,000 sq ft UND IPF is going to be nearly 200,000 sq ft. UND's facility is going to be massive..

In a recent news article in the GFH - they had hockey accounting for $5.8 m in revenue and $4.2 m in expenses for a profit of $1.6 m for the rest of the athletic department. I am not sure what the not allocated number is but the REA is separate entity from the rest of UND's athletic budget. I believe profits from REA are funneled back into UND athletic department but I have no idea what those number are.. when the REA is rolled into UND budget you will see a sizable increase. I seriously doubt that over $10 m is going to hockey as I noted above $4.2 m for the mens team - last that I heard ladies hockey runs around $1.5/$1.7m - so, I think the number you are looking for is right around $5.5 to 6 m total for both m/w hockey. Overall, what people are getting at is that the top end of FCS is much more like Sun Belt/MAC than the SB/MAC is to the Big Ten. The average Big Sky school would need to increase spending by about $1m for basketball and $3m for football to complete at the FBS level. NOTE: Montana and Montana St are basically at those level right now. Conference - Basketball Avg Expense, Football Avg Expense Sun Belt - $1.8m - $6.1m Big Sky - $1.2m - $3.6m Big West - $1.6m - $3.3m MAC - $2.0m - $6.7m MW - $3.5 - $8.7m Summit - $1.2m - $3.1m Big Ten - $7.0m - $22.0m

UND's books look much better than Miami or NIU.. UND Total Revenue - $22 m - $11 m from subsidy NOTE: Ticket Sales - $4 m UM Total Revenue - $28 m - $20 m from subsidy NOTE: Ticket Sales - $1.2 m N. Ill Total Revenue - $26 m - $17.5 m from subsidy NOTE: Ticket Sales - $2.2 m

Sorry to hear about the behavior....

No, it wasn't and they did not jack my computer just an account. if you don't think it is real. I assure you it is very real and as you can tell by my tone I get a little testy about the subject. I only mention it on public forums for other Sioux fans to be very careful - kind of a public service message because at one time I never thought that anyone would do something like that... Now I know better.

I am sure you weren't biased at all...

Its not even close - Bison trolls are over the top... any Bison fan please let me know when a UND fan hacks your account. I have had my account hi-jacked by a Bison troll... its not much fun. It took me a couple of days to get everything cleaned up.

I think A.J. Stockwell has shot at tackle and I think Dan Bell is more of a guard. I was very sad to hear the Palandech was leaving.

Poly wins 6-5 and advances to play Pepperdine.

Poly 5 - Sac St 3

How did you get that from my comment? Let me check - UND Sports - Other Sports - 2014 Baseball - post is talking about the 2014 WAC Conference Champ in the NCAA tournament. If you would like to bash the WAC go ahead.. If you would like to talk about a future conference or the current sports offerings by UND. I do believe that we have other threads for those topics.

I am merely posting information about the Conference Champion and NCAA tournament participant information for the WAC. You do realized that this is the conference that UND plays in. To me talking about the WAC and Sac St is more relevant to UND that talking about NDSU.... sorry..

To actually add some baseball info WAC Champion - Sac St. was placed in the 2014 San Luis Obispo Regional (Host: Cal Poly) (1) Cal Poly, (2) Arizona State, (3) Pepperdine, (4) Sac St. National Rankings Cal Poly (6), Pepperdine (24), ASU and Sac St. receiving votes. 1st Round: Cal Poly 4-2 over Sac St. 4-2 Pepperdine 3-2 over ASU 2nd Round: Sac St 5-4 over ASU - ASU eliminated. Pepperdine 2-1 over Cal-Poly 3rd Round (today): Sac St plays Cal-Poly in an elimination game. Bulk Truck - you can now go back to your regular scheduled programming.

Did they actually beat UND this year?

I would say step 1. has a major asterisk. An autobid was handed by a conference that does not meet the NCAAs own minimum qualifications. Now you know why the Power 5 Conferences don't want anything to with the Low Major programs. Many more deserving teams - can't disagree with them on this one.

ahhh, playing a game against the number 1 overall seed is a nice way of saying NDSU is the worst team in the field... Of course you should have heard/seen Bison fans ragging on Weber St. during the basketball season.. hey just a minute were are the #BUTRPI wizzards from NDSU now 248 out of 302 - holy !@#$ any other team they would on that teams site ripping them..
