I've posted this a couple of times before, but http://www2.ncaa.org/media_and_events/asso...ii/4221n18.html DII schools are NOT going to be allowed to play IAA football

I'm guessing both NDSU and UND have changed how they report their data.

The NCAA should try and keep links under a 1000 characters Wingate is a DII school, I don't know how their president speaks for IAA interests, the only IAA complaining are the so-called "mid-majors" which offer either limited (NEC,MAAC) or no (Pioneer) scholarships.

Posted this earlier, but it is appropriate in this thread IMO BALTIMORE -- Division II's effort to change how the Association views football classification encountered strong tailwinds and heavy headwinds during the same September 27 meeting. The Division II Football Task Force meeting included several Division I-AA representatives who reacted positively to efforts to create postseason opportunities for Divisions I and II programs that offer few or no scholarships. However, Division I-AA's fully funded programs appeared less enthusiastic about a proposal that would decouple Divisions I and II football from the traditional NCAA membership classification system and enable football programs to choose competition levels based on how many grants-in-aid they provide. In a nutshell, UND will not be a DII school playing IAA football.

You think UND is the 46th best team in ALL of college football? UND is real good this year... but not that good IMHO computers do a decent/good job of comparing teams within divisions, but not across them due the limited amount of interplay between teams across divisions. DII has an additional "problem" in these ratings as you have 13 team leagues such as the GLIAC which have played a total of 4 non conference games and the 10 team NE-10 has played 6 total non-conf games. Pretty difficult to get a read on relative conference strength where you have conferences in which less than half the teams have played non-conference games.

Unlikely, at least for schools that want to move up in FB

This isn't a smack board, please don't treat it as such

This one?

me too, what are they spending all of their money on?

Q and A with Buning some of the questions

I see Conrad says he is going to fight to keep the tankers in GF. Although keeping the tankers would keep a lot of jobs at the base (temporarily), you would think there is a good shot GFAFB would lose them eventually anyway due to the "low ranking" by the military for that service. If you had a choice (thinking longterm) between the UAV's and the tankers what would you choose? Personally I would go with the UAV's as GF is in a perfect region for their use (meaning what jobs come would stay) and it opens up possible research ventures to the RRV "research corridor". Thoughts?

McFeeley Column -nothing really of interest

Herald article on Buning

GF on list to be "realigned", Minot Fargo- not on list [url="http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=91609

So... paying attention means to an issue means making a move even though it does not make sense to do so? McFeely is admittedly just stirring the pot- but to call him a lapdog would be a stretch as he has written numerous against the move and critical of NDSU. It's not your fault, It's not your fault, It's not your fault.....

"I recognize that we may have to make this move even though, ultimately, it may make no otherwise logical or financial sense to do so." -Charles Kupchella,UND president OK... Jeno asked if there were particular areas where revenue fell short. Roger Thomas replied that ticket sales for basketball and men

UND hockey is great No really UND hockey is great... Have you seen our arena

That should help him out in dealing with Kupchella j/k He looks like a good hire

that's not a good way to sound non-smackish the next logical step up for most DI assistant ADs, is being the AD at a DI school, even with UNDs success at the DII level and their hockey program, I would have been quite surprised to see many DI assistant ADs apply for the job

Mary will NOT struggle in NSIC football
