From materials packet for TSU's board of trustees meeting tomorrow...

Should be all over the news imo.

Thanks for the links. Some interesting quotes. Seems like this is based on negotiations between the usage agreement between the medical school building itself and the school? “The university has negotiated with [NHBAC] in good faith to reach an agreement that is acceptable to all sides,” he said. “We are disappointed by the announcement by the Engelstad Foundation but disagree with the characterization of facts from what has been a difficult negotiation. We remain ever grateful to the Engelstad Foundation for their contributions over the years to UNLV.” This article may shed some light on that. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/breaking-down-the-plan-to-build-unlvs-long-awaited-medical-school-building But for Engelstad McGarry — who had long been a vocal supporter of ousted President Jessup — part of the calculus behind the creation of the development corporation was the ability to side-step the existing institutional apparatus that, in her view, had so far strangled previous attempts at a medical school. “For me, it became a matter of thinking around excluding [university leadership] in every way,” Engelstad McGarry said. “Because it didn't appear that they wanted to partner with us, at least not in a way that we could do.”

Really a bummer for UNLV club hockey if they stop donating to that program. The Engelstad foundation was giving them at least 200k, annually, for some time now.

Speaking of the Engelstad Foundation, this letter on their website is pretty interesting.. https://engelstadfoundation.com/esf/grant-application/

Anyone know how to track construction at the air force base? Are there permits or anything like that listed anywhere? Seems like the air force base and grand sky are legitimately becoming a pretty big deal.

Really wish basketball would play more games at the REA, as was originally intended. I thought it would happen once the Womens team left.

Isn't this similar to the Kansas game? Maybe the REA sold their basketball court.

Great to hear! I think we were actually the only FCS game on FS1 last year.

This data doesn't seem to have updated 2023 data for UND or NDSU. In 2023, UND FB was up to $6,016,711 and NDSU was $6,405,716. Looks like Knightnewhouse just carried their 2022 info over to 2023 for some of the FCS schools.

Could see that one happening.

Have any insight on him?

This is interesting. MVC just got paid for Loyola's Final Four run for the last time. How much more will the MVC be paying towards the House vs NCAA settlement than UND? My understanding is that will be based on historical results. MVC better hope they can start generating multiple units per year again because they seem to be trending towards parity in the SL in terms of both NCAA tournament revenue and conference tournament attendance/revenue. Really Really Really hoping that the Summit can hang on to all of it's members over the next couple years. I'm curious to see if Illinois State decides to push for a MAC invite - somewhat of a long shot, but in all reality, they would be a great fit. Summit could then add FB, maybe Iniana State drops FB, and potentially the Summit League could then grab UNI if stars align. That said, it seems that there will be tons of change over the next few years months, so speculation that far into the future prob isn't worth the time.

That's kinda the point. Mankato without FB would be great. If the Summit adds Hockey and Mankato, it would have the numbers in other sports so it wouldn't HAVE to take the Utah schools in order to survive. The league would be stable.

Would another benefit be that it could motivate Mankato to finally move up for all sports? They are the best fit for the league, and they are perfect for the footprint. They also happen to have a great hockey program. I seriously wonder if SCSU will be able to continue sponsoring hockey at a high level given the institutional issues they have.

Those guys are nuts. They rip fcs fb constantly then they wonder why attendance is down.

I think so. Perhaps a result of the dorm renovations? People might actually like the dorms?

On they flip side, could this make hockey more feasible in regard to title ix?

SCHOOLS WITHOUT HOCKEY DON'T CARE ABOUT HYPOTHETICAL SUMMIT HOCKEY

Their current AD was hired shortly after the conference was announced. I'm convinced he's the reason for Miami's downfall.

Time stamps

In regard to seasonal tailgating spots, haven't they been selling them out? UND only gets a specified quantity of seasonal tailgating spots, so it would make sense to get as many different tailgating groups in there as possible.

Or he wanted to give the new coaches a chance.
