No, We think a CLASS A misdemeanor is grounds for getting kicked off the team

These suspensions have nothing to do with what NDSU DIDN'T do. These suspensions are meant to let everyone else that plays a sport on campus that this will not be accepted. UND should have a very good hockey team this year and this should let everyone know that their mind should be on hockey and not partying.

People may not like Faison but he did the right thing. Maybe GT should be job shadowing him to see how its done

I'm pretty sure the whole team goes, as this a tournament not a regular season conference game.

So what you are saying is, Craig Bohl would rather stick around at a lower level division than coach at the highest level possible?

Didn't Scott Foyt do this too?

This sets the tone for the year, Hakstol knows that he has a good class coming in and there is a possibility of them going pretty far. This just reminds the rest of the team that they have big goals for this year and they better stay on the right track.

It's sad to watch you try and explain what these guys did was "no big deal". Yes, our University has its faults but our Coaches/AD and President are not running to the media and telling them that "these boys have had their feelings hurt long enough and they will not be punished". Not only is this a huge black eye for NDSU but it puts a black eye on North Dakotas educational system.

Don't tell us that this doesn't affect us when it does. This petition fraud is a big deal and a lot of groups (that I support) lost out on a lot of money.

I could see him falling that far because of this, which is pretty sad because he easily could have been a 2nd rounder.

If you don't think this incident isn't that big of an issue, you have some thick green and gold glasses on. Not only are we talking about how LAZY and INCOMPETENT these players are but they also DEFRAUDED the state of North Dakota. This might get overlooked if he was a guaranteed 1st round pick but he isn't. This issue will follow him where ever he goes and it will be hard to overcome (not saying he can't, just harder).

Playing at a D-1AA school and having a crappy background isn't going to bring him up on anyones draftboard (or FA board). There are 100's of better players than him and most of them probably have better character.

I don't think its the fact that the players arn't suspended yet but its the fact that the AD and Coach Bohl are acting like this isn't that big of a deal. This is a huge deal and it should've been dealt with right away instead of the "we will wait until all the facts are out" mentality.

YOUR OWN FANS ARE SAYING THEY SHOULD BE SUSPENDED.

I'm sorry I struck a nerve but that's what you sounded like. Who cares if you are friends with someone who's dad was a coach/AD at NDSU. What relevance does that have in this whole conversation?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

I wouldn't say he is a cheater by any means, he just holds a different standard of each player.

it seems to me that its pretty cut and dry...they forged names on a petition, how much more information do you need?

i dont ever recall a sioux player getting in a fight in an elevator...

I would expect the new jerseys that say "north dakota" on them to be in that price range

unlike these 8 players he was punished (by a fine and placed under probation from the Nevada gaming commission)....once again, spin it anyway you want to.

"who the hell cares"? obviously you do because you sit and bring him up. did ralph break any laws? didnt think so...now run along

i think the real problem is that NDSU/Bohl/Taylor knew about this a few weeks ago and decided not to take care of the issue and they continue to not take care of it.

remember, the arena is not owned by the university.

he is being discussed because some bison faithful are trying to divert the topic away from themselves. maybe if they just man up and take responsibility for there team they can move on.
