The only way this game stays within 40 is if Lennon doesn't want to run up the score UND 35 UMD 0

Massey also had Carroll College at 165 last week, before they lost to his 329th ranked team. Is massey the only one to rate all divisions?

USD has wins over Truman (0-7), Peru St (0-6), Moorhead St (0-7), UW-LaCrosse (D3), Augie (3-4) and Mankato (3-4) and lost to what appears to be a down UNO. How they could be ahead of NDSU or SDSU is beyond me

The only rumblings I have heard about I-AA scholarship reductions are from... UNH. So while they may or may not eventually happen asking Scarano if IAA scholies will be reduced is like asking the PSAC or RMAC commish if DII scholarships will be reduced.

SCSU won 37-16- with games @USD, UNO, and @UMD- I can't see them losing more than one game and "should" win them all- I also can't see UND losing another game. Playoff time will be interesting.

laughing your ass off all the time can be dangerous - j/k BD - hope the "hammy" heals

-also in that link "Taylor said if NDSU gets another home football game, it will slice another $100,000 off that deficit." which they did (C-N)- yah I know- only 890k to go

NAU does play in a dome- but it technically does seat 15k

What is the highest avg attendance (any school) for women's hockey?

cool new feature jim

I think UND smokes the bulldogs.

Amen to that

RD- you crunching numbers again this year

the 1 and 2 teams get byes, there is no "autobid" but if a conference (has to have 6 or more teams GNAC doesn't count as a conf) has a team ranked in the top 10 of the final regional poll- they get a bid to the playoffs- so say if GLIAC/NCC and GNAC teams were in the 1-9 spots in the final poll and an NSIC team was in 10th the top 5 teams in the poll and the NSIC team would make the playoffs

interesting note is that if the Playoffs started today- SVSU wouldn't make the playoffs as Winona be put in instead because of D2's "earned access"

Aid plan opposed by UNO's Danenhauer proposal to reduce the maximum scholarship total for NCAA Division II football programs from 36 to 24 has the University of Nebraska at Omaha concerned about its program. "We're against it," UNO Athletic Director Bob Danenhauer said. "From what we've been told, the president's council is against it, the management council is against it, and the student-athlete advisory committee is against it, so when you've got all those folks against it, it's going to be tough to get it passed." The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference are co-sponsors of the proposal, which will be voted upon at the NCAA Convention in Dallas on Jan. 10. UNO, as with most members of the North Central Conference, offers the full 36 scholarships currently allowed

DOH- I thought the DII playoffs started on the 20- but they start a week earlier this year due to the new format. But, I do think both teams will have the 13th off but will be playing on the 20th

UND and GVSU both have 10 game schedules with Nov 13 off

actually in Basketball it may be advantageous to schedule a DI opponent as the SSI is calculated differently and doesn't penalize teams for playing up etc At least in men's BB I would probably rather play a "DI" NDSU this year than a .750 DII team

I actually ordered Dataflix for the NDSU/UND basketball games last year- it wasn't like watching on TV but it only bufferred a few times and I would order it again if the oppurtunity arose. During halftime of the BB game however they piped in the UND/Wisconsin hockey game- and I thought the video quality of the BB game was much better than that of the hockey game- probably because of the setup they have in the Ralph. Now, if I can only get off the REA mailing list- they send me about 3 emails a week and there is no way to "unsubscribe" they have text which says click here to unsubscribe but it is not an operable link

is there standing room only tickets available? judging by the drawings of the stadium I saw it appears like there would be a lot of areas for fans to stand around the field and watch the game. Also what is capacity.. around 4k?

never mind looks like the money doesn't go directly to the school, but rather goes to the conference

I had heard they don't get any money from that in the past- any idea how much making the frozen four is worth?

here is what 21 Million can do , no mention of capacity- earlier estimates were around 7-8k for the facility

Troy (formerly Troy St) is IA. of note Troy beat NDSU by one in 84 DII title game
