Clearly addressing one of the most important issues affecting the country.
Lawsuits and rulings from courts that give athletes compensation and the ability to choose where they attend school and play have helped to balance the field in terms of hindering the NCAAs monopolistic tendencies.
There will be a lawsuit filed in a favorable district about 30 seconds after an EO is issued. I'd imagine there will be a stay until it gets fast-tracked to the supreme court who will initially decide on the shadow docket... and we've all seen how that goes.
So, add college athletes to the growing list of groups who now have less choice.

All returning All Americans not eligible for the World Jrs are automatically invited so we'll see in a couple weeks who ends up on that list.
I'd imagine both Plantes will be there.
Depending on who sticks around, I could see UND having Zellers and Emery. If Liver comes back, he's guaranteed. Outside chances for Spunar, Josephson, and Kernan depending on who the coach is. Would love to see Jax get a chance to coach the team and bring a few more UND guys.

41/33/77 shooting splits don’t get me super excited at that height. I do like that he has a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. Will be interesting
What could go wrong? You've got a coach with a sub-.500 record vs D1 schools on board for another 3 years before he gets another 3 year extension for not being the worst team in the league.

I assume it's 3 points for the semis and 4 points for the final? If so - then I still have a chance to tie for the win.
Let's all pray that I don't... -

Did you wear it in Tampa in 2016? If you were there and wore something else, you need to bring whatever you wore that year.
If you weren't there, you're not allowed to go to Vegas.
Those are the rules...

So the rumor around the World Juniors appartently was that UND had 2 pretty big silent commits playing. Carels is the most obvious guess as he has been linked here for quite some time and wasn't the other potentially a Euro forward? There weren't any forwards on Canada or USA that aren't signed or uncommitted so I thought the assumption was it could be one of the higher end Finnish or Swedish forwards?
There was a German kid that was being highly recruited but re-signed with his club on a professional deal for next season

I have been thinking alot, do alot of UND football fans who have stayed loyal through the FCS years start following NDSU now that it has moved to FBS? Does it hurt UND football and its following just as the FCS move for NDSU did?
I'd be more interested to see if UND hockey loses NDSU fans. This is the first time that shithole school has its top sport in the second highest level (G5 is not P4).
Do those down south with dual loyalties still come to the flagship to see a top team in the top conference at the top level?

Wait... so people complaining about lack of commitment from MBB players are celebrating UND's lack of commitment to WBB players?

These adults have all fulfilled their one-year commitment to the team, yes?
Then they're free to search for opportunities elsewhere based on private discussions between them and their boss.
Some choose to take on another one-year commitment with the university. Others choose to pursue that one year commitment at another university where they have the opportunity to earn more money - sometimes even life-changing money. -

You were apolitical up to the last two words so I trimmed them. Getting better.
Fair - was just using the most current situation. However, giving moderators power to edit individual posts at their whim is not something I agree with.
I felt comfortable bringing "politics" into it because it's one of those few situations where nearly everyone (those abusing the system excluded) agrees.-

When I was doing Xbox support the amount of calls I’d get to do refunds because the kid charged $1000+ on their parents cards.
and that's just kids.
Meanwhile, you have politicians betting and trading on insider knowledge. -

It is a profound realization to watch these shifts happen in real-time. In 2026, the "20-minute" task of legal research has indeed become a 20-second AI query, making entry-level paralegal roles much harder to find.
Personally, I'm looking forward to AI hockey players. At least they would stick around for four years.

I'm sure he's got one over there already. It's time for the mods to give him the heave ho off you go.
Why? Because they're posting opinions you don't like? Does it hurt your feelings to hear that Grand Forks isn't a preferred destination for players and coaches despite having a nice campus?
Or that playing for a team that struggles to be .500 vs D1 teams doesn't seem so appealing. Or that not having a dedicated practice facility turns people away when similar schools have one?

I don't get the desire to attack this poster. Do they have a grudge because of a bad experience for either them or their daughter? Yeah, probably.
But, are they saying anything that we as fans don't want? UND should be having a coach that positively influences the players both on and off the court, UND should invest money in their top women's sport, UND should charter to away games that aren't reachable by bus in fewer than 5 hours. UND should have dedicated practice courts to allow players to improve individually. UND should be at least a .500 team against D1 opponents, but all of the above play into the reason they're not.

I was surprised to see St Thomas get an NIT invite.
Why? They finished above ndsu in KenPom and with at least 7 schools declined an invite, they're definitely in the top 32 of what's left.

I'm not saying this is the case, but he could go to another ncaa school and still come here in 27, 28, or 29.

Probably a good time to be an avid bike rider as average gas prices in GF have jumped nearly 20% over the past week.

Nelson has a game tomorrow as do the other 4 who are not in DC. It's not a Minnesota thing.
16 teams play tomorrow, so there are a lot more than 5 with games, including Eichel in LA. So, it's also not a travel thing.
I mentioned the Minnesota players because of the local ties.

Brock Faber is the only one raised in Minnesota who is in DC. Brock Nelson is back in CO.

Pinto and Blake mentioned. Obviously Sanderson and Nelson too.
Having all the ice events in Nice will be nice. It was quite the journey to get to curling events in Italy unless you dedicated full days to that and snow events.
Except, they're going to close up the soccer stadium, divide it in half, and create two 17,000 seat hockey rinks. The sight lines if you're not in the seats on the sides are going to be miserable.

Zellers turns 20 tomorrow.
In net, I'd think Kotai,Hrabel, and Hicks are the top 3.
