FSSD

It is amazing how much Bison fans worship this guy and he posts drivel like that..

who are you kidding Taylor would have simply changed it..

Perfectly happy in the Big Sky - thanks for your interest in UND sports - we appreciate it. Now moving on to something else - anything else please.

I don't believe that North Dakota supports athletics programs via direct state dollars. The support is based on indirect dollars called "institutional support" and I believe that is what he is talking about. All of the large public schools in both North and South Dakota do a very nice job of raising money to minimize the public dollars. I am sure that there have been emergency cases were direct dollars where needed like the Dakota Dome roof collapse.

Why because he does not agree with you?

No FCS schools actually make money... they are all supported by fees and school money. UND and NDSU are two of the best supported schools at the FCS level.

Are you talking about the Forum story about restarting the game... and Miller went to Brian for comments. Hardly running to the media

I know that they polled the students at NDSU recently - didn't see the results - do you know? (not trolling here - just interested)

Search the message board you will see this answered many times over.. ultimately it had something to do with NDSU deciding to move on.... It is clearly owned by Gene and that could come back to bite him - only time will tell and how does a reporter at the GFH doing a open record request and article - link the AD to complaining in the media - do you think before you type?

Did you check the NDSU directory?

What is UND going to do about it.. according to GFG none of them attend UND.

Please enlighten us on the Big Sky MBB and WBB AQ vs a conference with 4 teams for a AQ in baseball - this should fun. NOTE: I believe UND did beat both Summit League AQ teams this year in MBB and WBB.

I believe that SDSMT and BHS would qualify as DII schools. Both are very new to DII and building the programs but they would be available for games.

Based on what I saw yesterday, getting to 4-8 is going to be tough.

Wow, watched the game.. it is going to be a long season.. a very loooong season.

Hey !@#$ nut... Johnboy dumbass was comparing Kristo and petition gate. Please keep up you moron.

One huge difference between the two incidents, one only had himself to blame. The other case shows complete disrespect to the community and lack of accountability to anything other than #butfootball. But hey that is how it rolls in fargo..

Head to Head means everything

You need to do a little research on the limitations of the RPI and how conferences can exploit it. Mid Level conferences with a large number of conference games are at a disadvantage compared to smaller conferences with less games conference games. That is why many simply state #buttrpi and this is why many mid major schools with very high RPIs do not get at large bids. I personally think head to head is the best measure - +18 works for me.

Darell for me it is all about politics and stability. The Summit League/MVFC/MVC have this extremely strange co-dependency relationship. Take a look at it: MVC - now that Creighton left, Wichita St is rumored to be looking for greener pastures. It is also rumored that Missouri St is looking to move. If those two pieces go, who are the next schools to leave. Plus who do you back-fill with, according to other posters. The MVC has some quasi pulic to private ratio and a general dislike toward football schools. I would guess that some current SL basketball only schools would be candidates - Denver and Omaha would be the leading contenders from the SL based on the previous round of changes after Creighton left. MVFC - is simply a marketing branch of the MVC. They will do what the MVC wants. Plus you have MSU looking to leave and you always have the rumors about Youngstown St. Summit League - has two schools on the east side that are known to be looking for a new home (Fort Wayne and Indy). They can't add a school with football unless they get acceptance from MVFC. You have Oral Roberts which will leave in a moments notice. They only returned after the Southland lost several of its schools. Denver got a strong look and it was rumored that they would have been a very strong candidate for MVC if they would have added sports, which Denver has said no to at this time. If DU get a different AD that could change very quickly. Plus If MSU goes that leaves the SL with 4 football schools and MVC with 4 football schools (note did not count Drake PL team). Who owns and controls the MVFC? There is no real unity. What are the relationships with the Dakota schools - is it SDSU and NDSU or is it SDSU and USD or is it all three. The Big Sky appears to be happy with UND. They are adding Idaho this year which is a plus. I am fine with the Big Sky. Plus the upper Midwest schools need to get together and get it figured out - yes, I am talking about Montana, Montana St, Idaho, UND, NDSU, USD and SDSU.

Which set of terms they keep changing

Thanks Dan - my undergrad school is in the top 25.

No, just not interested in it... why the butthurt on this stuff... I see you posting crap about UND professionals all the time.. So, you can but others can't.

Congrats to all FU fans great win.and no offense, but I tried to find the game and couldn't

Hey congrats to the FU good job..
