I must be a member of the %gobc since I (along with everyone else) got this right...?

If its anything like their accounting, their women's total would somehow move up 10 to even it out.

What makes you think that NDSU would need to add a women's program? Their participation numbers clearly show that the proportionality prong is not how they comply with Title IX and therefore not really a concern.

Only because they couldn't prove Belichek was "more probable than not generally aware". I still think that Brady had some knowledge but the Wells Report continues to prove to be a train wreck and the fact that it is the basis for the penalties is an absolute joke: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/10/pressure-gauge-discrepancies-undermine-wells-report/

Assuming the suspension is held up and the Patriots don't convert Brady's salary to a roster bonus (neither likely), the NFL will actually save the Patriots almost $1.9 million by suspending Brady for 4 games, more than offsetting the $1 million fine. http://overthecap.com/brady-suspended-four-games/

Your education clearly didn't work if you think all online classes are the same.

As Sicatoka stated, the rub is that there is no breakdown of the students that take classes online and on campus. A single credit on campus lab gets you thrown into the category as does a one-credit online intro-to-something class, with both being very different in terms of presence on campus. Without that, it is still very interesting that UND has a larger number and percentage of students who are strictly "on-campus".

I do not. I'm sure they are decided but I didn't ask.

Not to mention they (Forum Communications) have enjoyed and benefitted from this lengthy process more than anyone. Only so many fluff stories to go around.

Personal opinion - I would prefer both games in the Betty and a loud, sold out crowd over what would likely be a half-full REA. Also no clue on if dates would even work. I get the draw in playing in the REA but I just think a full BESC is a better atmosphere. I could be swayed if they really felt they could draw a huge crowd but I just don't see it.

Interesting that Golson is graduating and they are still limiting his options that much. Nor is it even remotely the same situation as Nevermann's as he was a walk-on player at WYO and is transferring down a level.

Confirmed that UNI will be playing in Grand Forks the coming season. NDSU will also be on the home schedule. Couple of pretty decent away games including Bradley and Florida Gulf Coast (Dunk City). Was a few other higher profile ones as well but can't remember off the top of my head.

This point especially needs to be repeated.

Picture from @UNDSports with a picture inside the HPF. I had a chance to briefly check out the inside recently and the place is MASSIVE (552 ft long x 270 ft wide per the linked tweet). Concrete work continues to be done on what will be the outside edges of the track. The dirt in the middle where the football field will be still had a little frost to come out but they were working the ground to try to try speed it up. I believe they were still on pace to be using it by August 1. Going to be a pretty awesome facility.

Yeah but once something happens, you'll hear an "I told you so"...

Glad you could not care less about anything outside of hockey, the rest of us do. And last I checked, the identity has always been the University of North Dakota. The nicknames and logos have changed multiple times over the past century plus, the name of the school hasn't. Also, I believe this would be a combination of stages 1 and 2 of grieving.

They only made it to the G's so Nokota's hasn't been officially excluded even though it didn't make the rough draft cut. I believe that was one of the names that the reasoning it didn't make the original cut was going to be looked into, as was Roughriders. Nokes and Charging Nokotas (as you stated) made the first cut, which means there was likely some sort of confusion somewhere (possibly with the word Nakotas).

Come on. In 2006, NDSU (though the NDSU Foundation) bonded $3.5 million for the locker room/coach's office renovation at the Fargodome which was almost the entire cost, and still have $1.7 million plus to pay on it. They also don't have anywhere near the cash on hand for the SHAC, but that project is well under way and they will end up bonding a huge dollar amount for that as well. Full disclosure - UND did the exact same thing though the UND Foundation this past year to be able to get shovels in the ground for the Indoor Practice Facility.

I suppose Rodgers should be banned for a season too? I mean, he admits to doing it (second hand) which is about as much concrete proof as they have on Brady did. http://larrybrownsports.com/football/aaron-rodgers-phil-simms-overinflates-footballs/253090 (For the record, I think that Brady had some knowledge of it, no clue to what extent, but the equipment managers knew he preferred less inflated footballs and like any equipment guy, tried to make the player happy. I also don't care, teams are always stretching the rules. I don't consider the PSI of a ball to be any worse than non-stick spray on a football jersey or stick-em on WR gloves).

1. Probable 2. Hard cover since its going to be full of pictures 3. $20 - $30, maybe more depending on size/length 4. Displayed somewhere

They aren't doing any scoring at this point. They are weeding out the name. To move on, a name needed to receive a single vote, no reasoning needed to be given. They will work on the whittled down list from there. For a marketing expert or whatever, you sure aren't great at understanding how processes that have already been laid out work.

Was just wondering the exact same thing.

Move on is my suggestion.

What they figured out is that can continue to yell Fighting Sioux because there will be nothing to compete with it. Read the comments on any article or even the suggestion list.

Belichek and Kraft had no knowledge of this incident. And they can't even prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Brady did after spending 4 months investigating. I'm not defending Brady (I believe he likely told the equipment official that he preferred the footballs less inflated but even that can't be proven) but again, you are blowing this out of proportion because of your hatred for NE continuously pounding Miami. What should Miami's punishment being for blatant violations of the tampering rules?
