So whats the uproar on the house about???? The article was pretty self explanatory.

Been busy. Nice to see you missed us.

Gap tooth wrote this??? Im shocked.

Thats some complex you have going there.

Yep its a crap show alright. Now we know how you guys feel everyday. I dont get where you think we would say its your fault?????

So opinion cant change with more information? The basis of the restrictions and the deal involved I get it. The way it was handled released to the public was not good. Im sure when the FOIA town criers finish up they will fill you in on all of the details..

No it wasnt a text. LOL But nice one!!!!

Whats there to know? I have already said I didnt care for the policy. Information that came later made sense. Even with that the whole scenario was a cluster. You didnt need to be a captain obvious to figure that out. LOL But you keep banging the drama drum.

You may choose to believe what you wish. And yes I got an update this AM.

I sure hope so. But they may just let this blow over as far as the general public is concerned and deal with the concerned parties personally. IMO. Havent heard what they may do.

After taking to a bunch of people in the know this is a great deal for NDSU. JJ should have crafted his words differently. He made it sound worse than what it is. Granted some of the media will have to adapt as they wont have free reign as in the past but it also wont be as restrictive as I first thought. I had a bit of knee jerk reaction that bit me in the butt this time around..

Unless he get permission. FYI he has already been invited to our tailgate and he can broadcast from there. I also dont think they will be restricted at away games.

There is a big difference between controlling access and denying access. JJ totally screwed up. If anyone should have known how to craft a release explaining the new rules, it should have been him. He turned something simple in to a big S_ _ _ Show.

From what I understand is WDAY-Foolum were offerded the rights. They said fine they would pay the money but if you dont win 8 games you start paying us. The negotiations went down hill from there.

I think JJ has gotten full of himself. I dont like this at all. Restricting access? You gotta be kidding me. In North Dakota?????? You need as much exposure as you can get.

You dont take your future and throw him to the wolves until you can give him the supporting cast. Plus they have millions tied up in Bradford. I like the fact they are going to try and age the kid a little.

Thats my thoughts as well.

I cant find that article. Would you have a link?

Looks like CCU has hit a snag on its move up. http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/sports/college/big-south/coastal-carolina-university/article75945117.html “We did make the commitment to the Sun Belt Conference, which requires the stadium expansion. Our failure to meet that commitment could result in a number of things, the first being the negative media coverage that will hurt Coastal Carolina University for years,” DeCenzo continued in his opening address. “We have contracts with power-five schools which will pay us over $1 million per game; without being FBS we will never see that money, and worse yet we may have to break those contracts, which would result in a financial liability to us. “But most importantly are the 25 recruits that we signed this year, eight of whom are from South Carolina. They start Coastal in the fall. Our failure to move this project along means our inability to meet NCAA requirements is in jeopardy, as would be our FBS standing. As a result we’d have to tell those 25 athletes that we cannot afford them the full scholarship they were promised when they signed with Coastal Carolina University. That to me would be the biggest tragedy of all.”

All hail Alfredo!!!

You have uncanny vision for the future. That kind of thinking is university presidential worthy.

That seems reasonable.
