It has everything to do with it. Its petty and shouldnt be an issue.. People are pulling the strings behind the scenes and the puppets are dancing. . .

When a person says there is a plan that DB was to follow and you find out there was no such plan and never was according to the released communications is that not astounding? Usually when a person is counseled the deficiencies are written down along with a plan for a correction and both parties have to sign off on it. I guess you cant have anything written down when it didnt happen. She flat out lied. If she has a conversation in regards to the plan and doesnt document the meeting thats incompetency. She should resign dont you think? You would be asking DB to resign if he had done the same and so would the board. Theres plenty behind the curtain. You just choose not to acknowledge it here. So whos pulling the strings?

Dont need to look in the mirror. The fact that people were caught in lies from the SBOHE or the NDSUS in this fiasco and havent resigned is astounding. I will also throw in incompetence.

Then why did he say he gave up on it because he couldnt sell it? Do I need to find that quote for you also? Youre batting average isnt very good.

I like this one also

Heres another one.

""Fullerton doesn't have the final say with the Big Sky. The Board of Directors does, which is Big Sky Presidents. Fullerton essentially told Big Sky Presidents that we're going FBS whether you like it nor not. If you don't, you can go FCS among the few remaining (looking at Suu, UNC,NAU, Weber, Isu).""" Fullerton can only say such a thing if be knows he has the backing of the majority of Presidents. If he has the support of only a few, he would be fired. Pretty simple. According to this quote from him I would say yes. I can find more of the same if this doesnt jog his memory.

Darn I keep forgetting that.

Its not a secret. The crap thats going on is just a petty power play. Problem is nobody will call them on it. The FCC is in cahoots so they sure as heck wont report it just like the emails that showed what was really going on. You didnt see the FF writing a piece condemning it because they were players behind the scene. The whole thing stinks. So theres one in Fargo. That hardly diminishes the fact of whats going on and whos behind it. It seem the more things they try to change in this state the more they stay the same. Ive talked to numerous businessmen in Fargo and everyone to a man has told me of the resistance to change not only in education but business etc. that they experience. Its pretty prevalent so I dont understand the poohpoohing of it like it doesnt exist.

Why do you keep bringing up a major gift? You have no knowledge of such. So why should we contemplate it? Your situation doesnt lend itself to a move to FBS.

Sorry I should have just said western legislators. I think you will see an attempt to put the heat on Klieman and Larson as there are numerous FOI requests on their communications. They are looking for any thing to put the pressure on NDSU after the last round blew up in their face. They are try to stack the deck again as they have in the past.

So you are saying that the NCAA isnt going to change the rules to allow UND to go FBS like you predicted?

Of course you are correct. So what happens to SVs prediction of UND going FBS if you arent in th BSC anymore? He has ponificated for how long that NDSU would have to join the BSC and follow UND to go FBS. Kind of throws a wrench in that prediction doesnt it.

What does that have to with you guys looking for a conference?We arent having to look for a new conference. You are. Nice try sparky. LOL Youve been bad mouthing the Summit for years but now that conference could save your bacon. Oh the irony.

Thats my biggest concern. Hope he can weather the injury bug while they get him a better supporting cast.

Why do you want to join the Summit? You as a group have been bad mouthing that conference for years.

That was a quick month. LOL

You have to petition the NCAA with all medical records and they make the determination.

Dont know about this year.

http://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/change_sport_year_div Last year they were 1st in total D. The year before they were 3rd the year after that they werent in the top 5.

Is that the same one with a lot of ties to UND and the state legislature? Everyone knows who the principle players are. All you had to do was read the emails and texts and who was quoting who in the media. Its so bad Ray Charles could follow that path. Its a witch hunt. Nothing more and nothing less. If they cant keep him under their thumb they want him gone regardless of the great things he accomplished.

The problem is a system that holds institutions back from moving forward. Wast much of a kerfuffle until NDSU started moving ahead . Then there is holy hell to pay. The system doesnt reward vision and performance. It would rather stifle and try to keep everyone at the same level lest we have to manufacture issues to keep you under our thumb. The whole dirty underside of this has been exposed and shows how petty this whole thing is.

You need to have the vision of SV to read between the lines.

So much for your facts and logic--- ''''' try to break it down for even the dim witted bison fans. Fullerton doesn't have the final say with the Big Sky. The Board of Directors does, which is Big Sky Presidents. Fullerton essentially told Big Sky Presidents that we're going FBS whether you like it nor not. If you don't, you can go FCS among the few remaining (looking at Suu, UNC,NAU, Weber, Isu). Fullerton can only say such a thing if be knows he has the backing of the majority of Presidents. If he has the support of only a few, he would be fired. Pretty simple. The Idaho and Montana President were both at USD at the same time. They are assuredly on first name basis with each other. Staben, the Idaho Prez, also has Illinois and Cal-Berkley on his resume, same as Kelley. Staben knows if he doesn't keep Idaho the FBS level, alumni support would dry up, and he'd likely be fired. He's the key BSC Prez now: with Engstrom and Cruzado carrying a lot of weight and leading the FBS charge.''''''

Where do you come up with that stuff? Whoa--- there mule. He never said UND wants MVFC. Plus why would anybody be disappointed if behind the scenes UND wasnt looking at the MVFC??? It was your boy BF that mentioned the MVFC. You need to talk to him.
