What part of this answers his question about recently?

When was the last UND player to be one and done?

Looks like NMSU isn't going to Big Sky or FCS. So now Idaho has 7 other teams lined up to go FBS. Who are they SiouxVolley?

You've been involved with a lot of logo and graphic creation for companies? It's obvious you have no idea what a normal process is like. There is constant communication.

It's not taking pleasure in being obscure. It's taking pleasure when NDSU fans talk about how big time they are, but then ESPN still confuses them with UND. Most UND fans realize our school is obscure outside of the hockey world. NDSU fans still think everyone knows and loves Fargo and the bison.

We would have won a Natty a lot sooner!

And when there is no announcement this summer, let alone in two weeks, I'm assuming you'll stop posting this drivel?

I will? Thank you for speaking on my behalf, but next time please try and be accurate. Of course schools like UND should try and be FBS. It's your asinine way of them getting to FBS that I think is incorrect. It's tough to keep the moving target straight thoug . You'll have to give us a full summary on how this "PR move" by Idaho is part of the strategic master plan of the big Sky to go FBS.

Yes. She only has experience in the SoCon, then straight to a P5 conference. Does that mean the Big Sky is going to be a P5 conference too? Or are you implying that is just circumstantial?

The CBA says a player who is 24 on September 15 of their contract year can only be signed to a one year contract.

Surely with her experience, she will vault the entire Big Sky into an associate membership of the Big10 for football.

$$$$ Wyoming has a more pressing need to break the contracts than Idaho in '18 and '19. However, it would be mutually beneficial so they will likely reach an agreement without any sort of fee for either school. If that happens, Idaho then has nine FCS games in '18. If Penn State cancels in '19, that means 11 FCS games that year. Assume LSU is cancelling 2020, so that means they have 10 in '20. Indiana will likely cancel '21 and '22, so that means 11 in '21 and 10 in '22. It leaves them with less margin for error in FCS as it pertains to the playoffs but it also leaves them with a much bigger budget. UNI scheduled 2 FBS games in '12 and '14 as a way to make up some budgetary issues. Despite those two losses in '14, they made the playoffs with an FCS record of 9-3.

(1) It's already been shown by someone who has actually seen the contracts that Idaho doesn't have to be an FBS team to play Florida or Penn State. It does have to be against LSU, however there is the mutually agreed cancellation policy which means no penalty for any of those three games you mentioned. (2) Also untrue, unless by most you mean 5 of 16. The only ones it affects are Wyoming in 2018 & 19, Penn State in 2019, and Indiana in 2011 and 22. Or, Idaho doesn't have to pay a penalty for the Indiana games. There is the option to mutually cancel the games. However, if Idaho wants to play hardball, they could force Indiana to cancel the games unilaterally. In that case, Idaho actually makes money for not playing the games. Keep regurgitating your "facts."

Some of the contracts will probably be mutually agreed upon to cancel, but at this point, it's just going to be a really expensive FCS game for most teams. Here's how it breaks down for the teams Idaho is playing in each year: 2018: Fresno only has Idaho 2018: Wyoming has Idaho and Wofford 2018: Northern Illinois only has Idaho 2018: Florida only has Idaho 2019: Wyoming has Idaho and Texas St 2019: Penn St only has Idaho 2019: San Jose St only has Idaho 2020: Temple only has Idaho 2020: San Jose St only has Idaho 2020: LSU only has Idaho (Note, this game has been removed from LSU's website) 2021: Indiana only has Idaho 2022: Indiana only has Idaho 2022: Old Dominion only has Idaho 2021 or 2022: Nevada only has Idaho Looks like schedule-wise it will only affect Wyoming in 2018 and 2019, as they're the only school Idaho plays that has two FCS matchups in those years. It could also affect the Big 10 teams (Penn St and Indiana) as the conference has a rule against playing FCS teams. Those could mutually be canceled, or Idaho could collect some money in a buyout from PSU and Indiana. Every other game could stay on the schedule as is and won't have a negative scheduling impact for those teams. And yet Idaho is supposed to pay about $7 million to cancel the games?

More importantly, they want to compete on a yearly basis. Atlantic Hockey is their only chance to make the tournament. They can hold their own in one or two games vs higher competition, but over the length of a season they would be a bottom feeder consistently.

I told my friends on the way to Tampa... if UND wins #8, I don't care if everyone leaves. They've earned it.

I like the way Baylor incorporated some green into their grey's. I think white numbers would look a little off, so perhaps black with a white outline? That would be a broadcaster's and stat person's nightmare.

There is now the option for high-end athletes to "serve" by being a professional athlete and a promoter of USAFA. It's on a very limited, case by case basis however essentially someone could play in the AHL/NHL and that would be considered their service. They would have to meet certain requirements for speaking engagements, media availability and promotional work for the Academy.

There's the moving target me and the other bizun trolls realists have been waiting for! This is the first time you've mentioned a Liberty lawsuit being the reason for the NCAA relaxing the rules. None of your posts below apply to the situation with Liberty. They all have to do with Idaho staying FBS and bringing the Big Sky with. Congrats to Hayduke on this year old prediction!

I don't believe you need any more clarification than what he posted 10 days ago. He specifically says FCS teams will be part of FBS. He hasn't said anything about FBS changing its tiers by 2019.

How does Idaho's likely announcement tomorrow that they're dropping down to FCS affect the ability of Idaho to bring the rest of the BSC up to FBS? Why would Idaho announce they're dropping down only to bring everyone up in a couple months when this alleged vote takes place? I'd think they'll get a lot of negative PR for announcing they're dropping down to FCS. Also, how do Fullerton's comments in this article give anyone hope in an FBS Big Sky? Note, this is a transcript:

Today's game is on NHL network. First two sentences of the intro were essentially free advertising for UND and the hockey team

Air Force is currently ranked 9th in the country. A big part of their success recently has been their Indoor Practice Facility, although 50+ degree temps in the winter certainly helps outdoor practice too. They play on field turf, be it at Falcon Stadium or in the HAC. UND could do the same, just need a whole lot of funding.

One of the biggest factors could be the numbers 2-23-96. That's Nick's birthday, meaning he doesn't turn 21 until next February. How would you like to be staying at a hotel on a road trip through Ohio and unable to drink with your teammates.
