in the current 11/13 member Big Sky, UND does not have a natural travel partner, even with the addition of Idaho. Only choices being Northern Colorado (960 miles) and Montana State (825 miles). Whoever has the second night of that swing will be playing a travel-weary team unless someone like NDSU joins the Big Sky. Maybe, UND will be a one-night swing with opportunities for out of conference games with Summit/Missouri Valley teams.

10 more votes to move to 19th

swap Northern Colorado and Weber & it could keep the remaining four original members together and reunite them with another of the founders. call it north/south. still think its a long shot to get Idaho back in the Big Sky

boy, would that suck for the Idaho Vandals

yes, it is the real name of the Sioux, but it is the name of the state. I don't think even the NCAA can take the name of the state away from the university & force the University of North Dakota to be called the University of North.

How could they? Its the name of the state.

Nokotas is good. Bison also has a native american connotation. as in tatanka, the sacred bison Roughriders is good. could be so much worse truer words have never been spoken

voting has fallen off. At one time, Mussman was moving up - to 16th or 17th, but now is barely in the top 20. Keep this thread active to remind everyone to keep voting.

same problem with chrome and when trying to insert a quote on ms internet explorer Thanks for all you're doing about this stuff, Jim

talk about scaring the elitist faculty!

Sacramento State is already the Hornets

Yup, sure, the Fighting Irish of ND are offended by the Fighting Sioux of ND. I'll buy that one along with that oceanfront property in Larimore. Kelley in the same story: Huh? Most (not all) of the national stuff I have seen has been sympathetic to continuing as the Fighting Sioux. Unfortunately, a poor choice of words, but we still have to go back to the Big Sky conforming to the NCAA's hard line.
