Appreciate that. Thanks. Will have to look into the methodology of that. Interesting projection for GF...

Couldn't find anything beyond the overall state numbers on the census website. Would be nice if sources were linked in news articles. Frustrating.

If anyone has a picture or video of the ralph during this game I would love to see it. I've been looking for years and they are impossible to find.

Silly question, but actually kind of serious. When UND won the championship in 2016, they were apparently drinking Krampade (made in GF). At least they were according to that companies marketing. I play beer league and am getting kind of old now, but it's a high enough level and most of the guys are younger than me now. The past few years my goal had basically almost become just getting through the games without dying, and my legs would be completely shot by the end of the games. Now, I know the Nodak guys are probably better conditioned and have a better diet than me, but I tried Krampade just for kicks, and holy cow.... legitimately helped a TON and it helped to keep my muscles from tightening up towards the end of the game. WAY better endurance. Legitimately haven't been as impressed as this by a product in years. So my question - does anyone know if the team still uses Krampade? If they don't, they should. *Not an ad*

No problems here

Alaska Fairbanks master plan was amended to include a new on campus hockey arena that seats 3,000. News broke first right here at Siouxsports.com https://go.boarddocs.com/ak/alaska/Board.nsf/files/DA537Y058DAB/$file/UAF_2024_CMP_Amendment-final.pdf UAA and UAF both are in the process of developing new on campus arenas that seat 3,000.https://go.boarddocs.com/ak/alaska/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=D9XPT5661C3C Robert Morris was also awarded 7 million recently by the state for the 2500 seat on campus arena that they are pursuing.

The actual settlement is even more interesting lol https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/ncaa/legal/NCAALEG_Settlement-July2024.pdf

https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/governance/d1/legislation/2024-25/Dec2024D1Gov_PhaseTwoInstSetQuestionandAnswer.pdf Think of it more like pay to play rather than revenue sharing. The money can come from anywhere. Increasing scholarships can count as "revenue sharing". It could be "subsidy sharing" if a school chooses.

NCAA's Updated Question and Answer: Impact of the Proposed Settlement on Division I Institutions

Agreed. Also, if a school shares revenue for one sport, all sports effectively are opted in and must follow the roster limits. Basically, NDSU either has to choose to not pay out any additional money or they have to massively reduce the roster size (by like 24). With UND already being near 105, UND would potentially have more flexibility, especially if hockey ends up sharing revenue, because they could potentially decide to pay a few difference makers with less of a negative tradeoff from the application of a reduced FB roster limit.

Curious to see how the House settlement will affect player rosters in the FCS. NDSU has near 130 on their roster and UND is pretty close to 105 which will be the new ncaa limit. If NDSU decides to offer additional scholarships or if they decide to distribute NIL money directly, they will have to reduce their roster to 105. If UND does that, they are already near the 105 limit with the current number of walk ons. In 22-23, SDSU also had more participants, at 116. UND was 108. I think the huge difference in walkons has been one of the reasons NDSU has had so much depth, is always able to reload so easily, and it's also a reason they have had so much late season success relative to UND which has historically gotten worse at the end of most seasons. This will be something to watch moving forward imo.
