Well said

Good point

This is totally a homer comment... ESPN could have spent a little less time on the east coast teams and developed or at least mentioned a couple of interesting little factoids on the show... the absolute turnaround of UND football in Coach Sweigert's short tenure the Big Sky co-championship went completely unnoticed, and Eastern was called the champions (not even co-champions) the possible quarterfinal matchup between the two Big Sky co-champions as a de-facto conference title if UND and NDSU both make it to the finale in Frisco, it would be an all North Dakota championship i understand that this would cut into their fawning over the east coast teams and NDSU so guess that's why none of these things were mentioned.

Does a 6 - 5 Illinois State get in over a 7 - 4 Cal Poly? Does the committee repeat last year's snub of the Big Sky?

Just have to wonder... Why would UND leave the Big Sky, a destination conference, to join the Summit, a transition conference? If NDSU gets an offer to go to the MVC (for example, if Missouri State or Wichita decide to move), they would not hesitate to leave UND and the South Dakota schools behind. Not saying it's going to happen, but believe Sioux Volley is right on the point that there are other schools that would be invited before NDSU, but the Summit is not a destination conference while the Big Sky is stable. Don't think NDSU will get an offer to go to an FBS conference anytime soon, but is there any doubt they would decline that? They have already proven that they won't bring UND with them in any conference changes. Also, considering the affiliation agreement that Idaho has with the Big Sky that they can negate the move to the Big Sky if Montana, Montana State and/or UND are not conference members, it leads me to believe that if the Montanas, Idaho and NM State were to break away that UND would be included in the move. So, why should UND follow NDSU into the Summit, only to be left behind, when the Hawks are already in a top conference where they are included as a desireable partner that is now becoming a competitor in the revenue sports? UND is the flagship school of the state of North Dakota and should be the leader, not a follower to be jilted at the first drop of a napkin.

UND will be conference champions (no co-championship ) and get the auto-bid. E Washington will still get a top 8 seed

If the Griz are 7 - 4 they are in and playing at home. Do not discount the greed of the NCAA and the capacity of the 25,000 seat Wa Griz stadium. The same can probably be said for NDSU (in down years) and possibly SDSU.

UNI has a 64% chance of beating SDSU?!?! We think UND gets dissed! Looks like the Jacks aren't getting any respect. Just don't understand the love for 5-5 UNI.

By this logic UND will not be getting invited to the MVFC.

Two huge points Think long term

Sadly ironic that this discussion is taking place as UND football and volleyball are both on top of the Big Sky. Non-revenue sports not so much - last or next to last. Took a few years, but UND is making progress in an established mid-major conference.

Home football playoff games is the reason why UND is no longer the Fighting Sioux. get-r-done Faison

Given the committe's history of snubbing UND last year, don't expect them to lean UND's way if they are on the fence.

Agree that this might be an issue for the BSC. sad day for UND, imho, but guess it must make sense on some level

The app is called HOME now will it work? that I don't know.

yeah. could'a fooled me on the 1981 start date. Got re-interested when UND was offered to join the Big Sky.

Not quite grasshopper Remember Augue and Morningside. Lost interest when the NCC became watered down with St Cloud and Central/Western Washington.

Had to look it up to remember that Western Washington, Central Washington, St Cloud, Minnesota State were NCC members. (Did remember Minn. Duluth. ) also did not realize that Creighton, Des Moines University, St Thomas and Nebraska Weslyan were founding members. Other than the other 3 Dakota schools, prefer the Big Sky to Summit.

The designated count will not matter if the defense is into/across the neutral zone. If the offense holds their position and the ball is snapped, it's a penalty on the defense.

Or teach the center to snap the ball when the defense jumps.

NDSU could/would do that, given the opportunity.

Is this the first time all four Dakota schools have been ranked in the top 25, either D-II or FCS?

Pryor, Idalski and Jones are in need of some attitude adjustment. Send in Bubba.

Maybe he is asking for more money. $250k wasn't enough. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=205112736

Is this an example of Bizun math?
