FYI---this past May at the walleye opener at Millacs I ran in to a former player who was kicked off the team after Bohl laid down the no tolerance speech. He and a couple of other players went out and got a little rowdy after having a few. The next day they were gone. Its easy to cherry pick scenarios if one wants. But one must remember all punishments dont always end up in the news.

It doesn't bother me at all if the bigs don't play FCS teams anymore. This IMO will make the top teams schedule each other like the bigs will be doing. Ive the Big 10 in not playing everyone in the conference if it was possible. but they got away from that and played what 3-4 ooc games against some tomato cans. The fans hated those games. Now they are going back to old school schedules and playing teams that mean something.

The official word is from the AD. NDSU has not pulled back as they never committed to this school year.

I think this is where he tells you to read between the lines. I tried but didnt see it either.

One thing UND can do is pick a nickname but not support it. It would die on the vine. Then the NCAA could do nothing even if people kept using the the old moniker. If they tried to sanction if some wore their old gear the NCAA would run in to free speech issues. UND is off the hook because--hey we have a new nickname.

I am quoting you-------- """""You and others are just hearing things that fit your motives and assigning them meanings that aren't there.""""'

Larson never said we wouldn't be offering COA. He did say we wouldn't be offering it this year. Of course they are looking at funding. What school isn't. You can look for NDSU to offer COA. I take that view because of a personal conversation and an email I received.

You REALLY need to re-read that article.

Interesting article. But no where in that article did they say they WILL be moving up. Its all talk right now. Nice try.

When did NDSU say they couldn't afford COA?

I believe its called marketing. I don't believe I know of ANY school that has raised its prices so drastically per game. NDSU takes a very measured approach. Over the last 10 years they have raised ticket prices, TM dues or both every year. Now they are requiring TM dues for end zone seating. Somewhere along the line they will increase prices for the first 10-15 rows as they are considered prime seating.

LOL LOL

I guess you fail to understand how the tickets are priced. BTW how much are your season tickets? Seems yours are much cheaper. to help with the heating bills in GF? LOL

Actually you have to take the difference between what most tix are priced at and what the face is for UND. So now you have 25.00 x 2000 if there are even that many single game tix available. So people really need to just stop with the money NDSU takes in from this game.

That was great!!! Thanks for sharing.

IMO No it doesn't. But I think if you were named the Sundogs the Fighting Sioux crowd would never let that fly and the angst would last much longer than some of the other choices.

I understand that. But it all rides on what the NCAA will or wont do depending on which nickname is picked. I don't know if they would go for an explanation that you picked North Dakota because nobody liked anything else. I don't know if they would levy sanctions again because you didn't adopt a nickname per say. Ive always questioned how they can make you have a nickname. The name of your school should be enough.

I just don't understand why people use this example. It makes no sense and Nobody in their right mind would ever consider this saying that. If North Dakota was chosen I don't see an issue with it. You will be known as North Dakota, UND or University of North Dakota.

You know Ive heard that a few times but cant find any articles confirming that statement.

Last I read the BSA was going to be 5700 and Scheels was 5000?

Considering how uninformed he was it my guess he just threw some crap up against a wall hoping to get paid.

360.00 isn't all that much money for season tickets IMO.

What does Bucky have to do with this? He retired a few years back. You think a petition is all it takes? LOL

This is the dumpster fire thread isnt it? All sorts of stuff have been talking points. The NDSU-UND game is a different thread. Just saying.
