The P4 schools may not want them.

Watching the Sun Belt title game (Troy State at JMU). UND played on that same field in the playoffs in Spring 2021.

And I agree with you. Most cable channels suck today. I have seriously considered dumping cable altogether, but UND hockey is one of the reasons why I haven't pulled the trigger on that.

They have picked up the St. Cloud feed for those games before. Aside from the horribly homer broadcasting team, it wasn't all that bad. Is that too expensive for them now?

I would think most B1G institutions (as well as other P4 institutions) provide similar opportunities for their student-athletes post athletic career.

If it doesn't work out at Iowa, we might have the inside track to get him out of the portal.

Isn't NIL reserved for key starters? Do PWOs ever get NIL money?

Looks like someone has had enough of rowing a leaky boat.

Unless you are in the Ivy League, it isn't all about academics. The Goofs pad their non-conference schedule with creampuffs, get blown out by good teams and settle for a lower tier bowl game that nobody else cares about. Iowa isn't OSU or Michigan either, but they are at least competitive with the higher end P4 FBS teams.

And yet, we are still playing.

Iowa is a legitimate FBS program in the B1G. I would take that offer too. Minnesota, on the other hand............

And you think getting rid of programming people want will help cable subscriptions? It will just make the death of cable come quicker.

What "negotiations"? Once the building is turned over to UND in less than 5 years, UND will call the shots, NOT KEM. If you are seriously suggesting that KEM be allowed to continue to call the shots after 2030, then you and I won't ever agree on this issue. No donor, regardless of who her daddy was, should be able to run UND athletics from their mansion.

Good point.

Which one? Penn State's recruiting class or the number of teams in FBS?

I don't know the details of his contract, but that is a good question.

Please explain why? I seriously want to know your thoughts on this.

I imagine he saw the writing on the wall and decided to go out on his own terms.

Definitely rolled up!

Probably doing his podcast and taking a wait and see approach to everything.

That doesn't take much, tbh.

The current set up is too complicated and hurts UND more than it helps. UND should hire the same company that runs the Alerus Center to run REA. Put it into the contract that current REA employees and management are grandfathered in and can keep their jobs if they wish. KEM and the rest of the Engelstad Foundation can deal with the UNDAAF directly like all other donors.

Losing prospective recruits to FBS programs is a sign we are recruiting the right guys.

I don't think we play them often enough to put them in the same category as the Goofs or DU.

Boston College is a small private school trying to compete in FBS vs. larger schools with bigger budgets and deeper pockets. I wish them luck and I am impressed that they are jumping in with both feet and are serious about it.
