Id rather he report what he thinks is accurate rather than make homer predictions and assessments. He's the NEWS, not a cheerleader. Whats the point of reading him otherwise?

Not sure. I'll wait and find out, but UNDBIZ's comment makes the most sense to me.

You think multiple "high level" donors died and left UND tens of millions, without telling UND their intentions, even though they were already existing donors? Highly unlikely. Maybe someone left UND a winning lottery ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your hot take is wrong. Bequest contributions would already have been counted and applied to a prior year's fundraising total as planned giving. "Fundraising includes new gifts, pledges, grants, and bequest commitments." The reported fundraising number isn't the same as the actual cash flow to UND.

NDSU just needs to lose to ANYONE, really. They are on a pedestal and any loss that they have would help. But they don't lose.

Thanks for posting this. You sure it's all D3's? "AN" institution.... is this specifically about St. Thomas? "Review of Reclassification Process. (Fairness/Well-Being/Operational) The Strategic Vision and Planning Committee will continue to discuss whether an institution should have an opportunity to reclassify from Division III to Division I, without first requiring that institution be a Division II member, noting the importance of ensuring preparedness for Division I membership."

Yeah, I just dont get it, because a huge percent of their sports readers probably aren't even local anymore, right? Hopefully they know their stats.

So you lied or were wrong?

I may have missed it, but where, specifically, does it mention the affiliate? http://www.ncaapublications.com/prod...loads/D119.pdfA multisport conference shall satisfy the following requirements: (Adopted:1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)(a) The conference shall sponsor a minimum of 12 Division I sports;(b) The conference shall sponsor a minimum of six men’s sports, one of which shall be men’s basketball.

Don't think this was posted - St. Thomas just hired two Penn State guys.. http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=4550.93375

Gotcha. Thanks. This is interesting - I see St. Thomas in the Summit's future... http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=4550.93375 Could also mean that they are going d2 for everything but hockey I guess. Edit: The rule is that all of the qualifying sports need to have 6 members, right? Do they already have a waiver? If so, neither of us know if the NCAA would grant another. Perhaps they would.

Can't the Summit just pay UNC to bring their baseball over? Give them an annual subsidy for 5 years or something. They could use the money.

Kinda agree. I'm against Augie, but there are tiny D1 schools all across the East coast. Augie isn't really much different than the NEC schools, for instance. If I was dictator, Augie would be the absolute last resort, but if they end up joining us in D1, it definitely does not make the move up pointless.

Is it media day right now? Any radio interviews scheduled?

And quality people. I remember a certain CB who would tackle a guy after like a 20 - 30 yard loss, and then celebrate in the guys face... emberassing

Really? You're smart enough to know that the conference wants it for marketing! Come on Sicatoka!!!

No kidding. Train was cancelled once when I was leaving Grand Forks for a morning flight out of MSP - they didnt tell us it was cancelled until after our departure time. Not a fun drive....

The Empire Builder runs through Spokane. Only 23 hours... https://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak

If he doesn't land an nfl gig. It would be really cool if winnipeg takes him with another first round pick. Would help to maybe draw some canadian interest to UND football when they are down shopping, and vice versa.

Any apologies for those who you bashed for not being able to "read the tea leaves".

Going in when?? What does it look like? Where did you see the pic?

And the ginormous Alerus logo is out of date.

It only took the guy three posts to say something more offensive than anything Sioux Volley has ever said. Pretty impressive.

Awesome! Great to have a place where all the fans can interact.

Is there a reason so many on the OL lost weight? I don't know football well enough... Could the OL coach, freund, and the strength coach have planned for this, so the lineman can be quicker/faster? Are lineman in passing offenses normally smaller? What the hell was our strength coach doing? If this wasn't on purpose, it's rather alarming.
