This is silly. Girls wrestling is much more popular than horseback riding and I'm guessing hockey too.

Ndsu can't cut sports. Currently sponsoring the bare minimum i think. May need to add a ladies sport.

You are crying. I'm not provoking anything.

I don't think you know what that word means.

What are you talking about

Crying about flights to Hawaii and Rick Berg? Brother...if you need help dont hesitate to reach out to someone.

Lol what are you talking about

The guys with NFL money have about as much to do with conference affiliation as UND hockey players do. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The handful of guys making a good living in the NFL could give NDSU every dime they make and the money would be gone as soon as it arrived.

Lol sure thing good boss.

I'm with you on this. Some here seem very butthurt at the alleged offer to move up and some of my fellow alum will also read the tea leaves incorrectly.

I could write a legal brief but you aren't a judge I need to spell things out for.

Not a better school. The quality of education is basically identical other than marginal differences and obviously each have programs that the other does not. But yes, people are nuts. Wish we were a single school, we'd be in the Big 12 now.

this is funny in a few ways that I don't think you have the intellect to comprehend.

Lol if you have to call yourself the flagship you probably arent.

The NCAA is getting pushed around by courts. Its not a shock that they are being fairly deferential.

I think the sixth year thing should be subsiding now. Covid season *should* be out of the system now. I think a lot of the sixth year guys had taken advantage of that. I think the NCAA should just do a blanket "five years to play four seasons" rule. You get a redshirt if you want. No waivers. At all. If you can't play four seasons in five years due to injury, I'm sorry but that is life. Its time to get a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Morgantown - "Take Me Home, Country Roads" LSU - "Callin' Baton Rouge" Alabama - "Dixieland Delight" Tennessee - "Rocky Top" Minnesota - "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

I knew Michigan was very insecure and doesnt respond well to Notre Dame getting headlines but what the heck lmaooo

There is maybe 5 or 6 bluebloods. Notre Dame isn't more important than the others. If Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Alabama, or USC want to go independent, I'm sure rules would be put in place to address that as well. There are plenty of reasons people don't like Notre Dame. The world revolving around them isn't one of them, no matter what people try to claim lmao.

Conference championship games should be gone. You play about half the teams in your conference now. Its a total crapshoot.

"make college football a !@#!$ knockoff version of the NFL" is not a winning formula lmao

What are you talking about?

Past performance? Brother they made the national championship game last year.

Eh, financially sure. There is much to be desired there but it is the brand so it is what it is.

They finished with a higher strength of schedule than multiple p4 at-large playoff teams this year, with a relatively down schedule. The issue regarding a conference is not having other schools shill on your behalf (for their benefit and your own, appearances mean money). In the case of the SEC and ACC, they also happen to be TV partners with ESPN...you can take a guess who they want in the playoffs lol
