I am guessing most places are not setup to test convalescent plasma in culture (no BSL3). A preliminary matched control study in NY appears to show that 80% of convalescent plasma recipients survive, but plasma does not work after intubation (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.20.20102236v1.full.pdf).

Do they test the ability of donor plasma to neutralize virus COVID in culture before administering it to patients where you are at or do they rely on ELISAs alone to confirm the presence of anti-COVID antibodies in donors?

This article does a decent job of explaining the politicization of hydroxychloroquine https://www.wired.com/story/the-info-war-over-chloroquine-has-slowed-covid-19-science/

Was Lennon sportsmanlike/gentlemanly when UND ran a fake punt up 34-0 against CWU or when UND ran a fake field goal while beating SCSU by 28?

NDSU has 16 sports (Indoor and Outdoor track count as two total), the FBS requirement is 16, the DI/FCS requirement is 14

Clay would appear to be out, he just took a job at U of Iowa

Not really an Indian name, but related Pennsylvania university considers dropping its 'Crusader' nickname http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/01/19/pennsylvania-university-considers-dropping-its-crusader-nickname.html

Against 3 common opponents, USD did much better than UND (who had Studsrud in all 3 games) UND: Drake (H) W, 21-18, UC-Davis (H), W 31-24, @NDSU L, 9-34 USD: Drake (H), W 52-0, @UC-Davis, W 27-17, @ NDSU, W, 24-21

The current system has been pretty good to the Big Sky. The Big Sky has not won a non-conference playoff road game since 2008, but has lost 9 non-conference playoff home games since then. In that same timespan the MVFC has 10 non-conf road playoff wins and 3 home non-conf playoff losses. The Big Sky's biggest problem is that only 2 of the current 13 teams have made a deep playoff run in the last 30 years.

The Summit league is #10 according to CBS who pays a lot of money to broadcast basketball http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology/conference

NDSU's lowest attendance during the 3-8 2009 season was 14,301 for the season ending game (Average attendance was 16,555). NDSU's last sub 10,000 game was in 2003 as a DII school

Looks like test scores are pretty similar, if not better at Central http://www.zillow.com/grand-forks-nd/schools/#/grand-forks-nd/schools/p=1

The last Big Sky road playoff win, was in 2008- they have lost 8 home playoff games during that stretch. During the same time frame the MVFC has 6 road playoff wins and 2 home playoff losses.

Idaho State was 0-2 versus FBS, 0-2 versus playoff teams and played two DII schools. Indiana State was 1-1 versus FBS, 2-3 versus playoff teams and played an all DI schedule. The committee values quality wins, IndSt had 3, IdSt had 0

Looks like about 235 yards allowed against Missouri State http://www.missouristatebears.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/2014-2015/msu-03.html

I would be surprised if NDSU/AES got more than 4-5 million a year in non competitive USDA money. There is a lot more money in basic medical research and clinical research/trials.

Big Sky went 0-3 in the CIT Summit is 2-0 so far in the CIT

The Summit has a better RPI because it had a much better non-conf record and non-conf RPI. If the Big Sky had not done so poorly in non-conf, playing so many conference games would not hurt their RPI.

According to ESPN, Sac St (#7) and UND (#12) are two of most inconsistent teams in DI men's basketball (351 total teams). http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/sort/variationRank/order/false

The 190k is probably university general fund money. Looks like he made 1.2M total http://m.espn.go.com/ncf/story?storyId=7456832&src=desktop

McKinnon started

He did get his first "Mussman" against the Broncos.

Probably why SDSU is 0-2 at home versus the MVFC, and 1-0 on the road versus the BSC.
