Wayback machine seems to have some wiki records. This is the 2024 recruiting page that was last updated in november. doesn't show much, but it includes some of the prospects. https://web.archive.org/web/20221205221954/https://wiki.siouxsports.com/doku.php/football/2024_recruiting_information

Is wiki lost forever?

Just found this... super in-depth rundown on the history of the NCC. Pretty incredible how often the Dakota schools have flirted with the Montanas and Idaho. The guy has a rundown on the history of every single conference. Edit: not every conference, but worth checking out his channel.

Common Man or Dan Bererro style show would be ideal. Other than UND, sports segments should include NDSU and other local schools/pro teams. Show should have callers. I think Guage Ausmus would be a natural for a show like this, and I'm sure anyone who's listened to his pod would probably agree. I doubt he would have the time but just an example.

Great! Mankato can use their football scholarships on Mens soccer Lindenwood does. Would they be interested in the Summit League, and would that move the needle at all for St. Thomas, DU, or ORU? I'm sure they wouldn't mind a presence in St. Louis, at minimum.

It's interesting that the report about the NCHC schools shutting down the idea of Summit Hockey came out before local news mentioned that it was legitimately being considered. Makes me think FB could be on the table. Could the Summit adding FB be announced when the league announces it's new TV contract? Is WIU leaving related to either Summit FB or a new TV deal? In the fall, the MVFC commissioner said that they were working with Leona to renegotiate the crap FB media deal (one year early). Could that be related? Was she attempting to make the MVFC more attractive to keep the league together (if she knew there was legit potential for Summit FB)? Is it more likely that that's all connected or that none of it is?

Makes sense, but from what I gather, DU views them the same way we view Augastana, don't they? I don't want to do anything that would make DU look elsewhere. DU leaving would also make St. Thomas more likely to leave, as they are their only true "peer" institution in the conference. ORU private but not quite the same.

Replacements that I would look at to consider targeting: Minnesota State with FB to Pioneer Milwaukee Lindenwood with FB to Pioneer Green Bay Northern Colorado SEMO Central Arkansas Central Oklahoma Pipe dream - Add FB to the Summit and leverage FB to get Illinois State, UNI, and Missouri State to join, potentially with the Montanas and Idaho, and Weber as affiliates or full members. Why would this have a 1 in a million chance? Positioning for potential future FBS conference. If NDSU had any balls they would at least attempt a big move like that, similar to how UND started the NCHC. NCAA not allowing a MAC - like conference in the North/West is a pretty clear Antitrust violation, IMO.

I think he has, at least when given the opportunity in real games. I also think he will get a decent number of carries even if we do bring in a really good RB. I don't think you were implying that he hasn't earned his shot; you're just saying in general, right?

Agreed. But I'm pretty sure that the general thinking is that even if he were to get over 100 carries, we just need the depth regardless. Realistically, there's really only Isaiah Smith and Ziebarth. Red Wlison and Skokna may get thrown in there, but they aren't really every down backs. I don't recall if we are bringing in a high school RB, but playing a true freshman isn't really ideal if it's done out of necessity.

? Their backup plan was hockey and they were accepted into the CCHA.

lol. I actually think Summit hockey merits discussion and I think it could eventually happen but you might be the first person I block.

Schlossman. Heard of him?

Clearly you didn't read my post.. CAA put fb games on Flo and used streaming rev to buy air time for 20 bb games on CBSSN. Nothing for FB.

ONLY TWO SCHOOLS ARE INTERESTED RIGHT NOW.

Ok. How does streaming work? Are hockey TV rights negotiated with all other Summit sports? How does media rev get split? Look at how CAA football affiliates got shafted in the latest CAA deal. Who decides the format of Summit hockey playoffs? Is the tournament played at the same time as Summit basketball? Does NDSU have any say in decisions that affect UND hockey? What does it matter? Seriously? At least think a little bit before posting.

This is a lie and you're making crap up now. Discussion isn't worth while if that's what you're gonna do.

What's the benefit?

Dont see it.. What's the advantage of going that big? Also, you guys not see Schlossmans article?

For that matter, does the NCHC have a multi year deal with CBSSN or is it something that's on a year to year basis?

Any guesses how the TV situation will be worked out with NCHC.TV? Will ASU fully participate?

Think of it more like them being booted, only its mutual. ASU is an upgrade so I see no issue. ASU can pay a hefty entrance fee in excess of one mil though if miami's fee is waived.

Xavier is looking to raise money to start a FB program. They would probably look to join the pioneer as they said they would use the Butler/Valp type model. Trying to raise 20 mil for a small stadium.
