  1. Just curious... what do ya all think we could draw for a game vs the Gophers at the REA in basketball? (I know it's impossible to get P5's to play off campus.) Also, could it potentially be worth it financially for the REA to host a tournament like they do down in Sioux Falls? How is Sioux Falls able to afford getting teams to go there? Is the facility losing money but putting those games on to promote the venue or are there major sponsors like Sanford involved? https://www.mitchellrepublic.com/sports/college/perennial-no-1s-baylor-gonzaga-to-meet-for-college-basketball-showdown-in-sioux-falls-in-december
  2. Really hoping that if gambling is going to occur at any of the bars/restaurants that may be located in these P3 projects that the UND Alumni Association finally gets involved.
  3. "Demanding" something doesn't make it so. UND isn't the only program that has the same expectations as you. Yes, they expect to be a championship program. They continue to build and get better, and if you can't see that, you're blind. You sound like one of my todlers sometimes.
  4. @UND-FB-FAN If you were in charge we would be in Missouri State's position. You lost all credibility imo. It takes time to build a consistently winning program, year after year. Read a little about delayed gratification maybe. UND is one of 11 teams to make the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years and our facilities aren't even built yet. The program is and will continue to get better.
  5. They are starting w Wyoming, based on their schedule
  6. Oh, but somebody is standing IN FRONT OF HIM!!!!! What does that mean????

    Who else would buy a "Nodak" version of this?
  9. If you only want to watch UND, you would need NCHC.TV, Midco Sports Plus, and a TV package that includes CBSSN (any of which would include ESPN). You would also probably need ESPN+ for a month or two during the NCAA tournaments. Good thing is that the streaming packages can all be cancelled whenever they are not needed.
  10. Patty VIverito said she was hoping to have details on a new MVFC/ESPN contract by media day, which was August 1st. Wonder what the holdup is or if there will be an announcement soon.. could potentially be waiting for TV schedules to get finalized so they can simultaneously announce a nationally broadcast game or two?
  11. I'm 99% sure that Flo also has the exclusive rights for all broadcasting which prevents all programs from airing any conference games on TV. I'm not sure, but I think the Flo deal may be why Prairie Public stopped airing Bemidji games and it's why Comcast stopped airing Mankato games. If Midco took over the rights to the CCHA, they could allow teams to have local television rights, and they could also potentially broadcast select games on Midco or Midco2 if the deal included Tier 1 rights. Midco is available in the Twin Cities Comcast market, but adding some games from the other MN hockey schools could potentially help them reach a carriage deal with other MN cable providers. Would love to see them go after the streaming rights for MN High School Hockey in conjunction with somethin like that as well.
  12. Their sports coverage is the only reason I subscribe to the paper and I appreciate Tom as well. If they just randomly stop covering stuff, it makes it harder to justify the subscription. It's pretty crazy that the Forum doesn't have an FCS guy that covers UND and NDSU and the FCS in general, neutrally. The Fargo guys are homers and heavily biased towards NDSU and against UND, and Tom isn't a full time beat reporter. They do a great job with The Rink Live, where they cover many programs neutrally. Just interesting that the coverage for Football isn't remotely similar. While I'm complaining, this annoys me (not an option for UND Athletics as a whole):
  13. Makes sense. Wish he would say so publicly, or at the end of the last update, because it would keep people (me) from waiting for updates that aren't coming, which leaves the impression that they are being lazy or something, for lack of a better word.
  14. Simon Fraser currently has, by my count, 7 D1 games scheduled so far this year. Michigan BU BC CC Robert Morris Lake Superior Long Island Does anyone have a link to the excel doc that someone put together with all of the D1 hockey schedules released so fat? Could have been from USCHO, but I can't find it, and I want to see if Simon Fraser has any other games scheduled that I missed.

    ASU to NCHC

    Agreed. How many fans would stop driving to USD or SDSU and instead wait to attend games when Augi is the host? Would be kind of a revenue leach in a way.
  16. 100% agree. Flo Sports has the right to CCHA conference games, so it will be interesting to see if Midco ends up making a play for streaming rights there, whenever the current contract expires.

    ASU to NCHC

    They added hockey because it was the only option they had. They didn't get a D1 invite when they were pushing for it. Augie having hockey won't help their prospects for a Summit offer at all.
  18. I think I rememberseeing an rfp for it a few months ago. So yes.
  19. Did they show what the locker room will look like?
  20. Such a joke that it takes so long. Really, kids should be able to get a determination from the ncaa before they even put their names in the portal.
  21. is this a transfer?

    ASU to NCHC

    Well, would they owe us the buyout? Either way, it's not embarrassing to lose a school to the big ten. It's not like we're the Pac 12.
  23. R1 possible? I know there are metrics other than total budget that are necessary but not sure what they are?
  24. Gotta start somewhere. They would be huge for recruiting in Canada as well. Once the moratorium on single sport conferences end, the independents will start a conference. LIU, Stonehill, and Lindenwood already travel to Alaska as it is. They will start a conference together for the auto bid.
