  1. What if:. the FCS season moves to spring?

    Most of FCS would probably go for it.  They'd be more likihood that FCS actually gets a big TV contract.  Schools that would not have it: The Montana's, SDSU, Weber St, and they work have to stay fall.  The MVFC would be much more local climate dependent.  Should UND go east or west.?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  2. Rumors that the Big 12 will expand by 4 schools:

    10). Ciccinnati - helps cement WVU

    11). Memphis - helps center the conference

    12) Houston - helps protect the conference

    13). BYU - gives it a western edge

    Boise St might be 14

    The AAC looses three but takes Rice from CUSA

    We are but Big 10 potentially offers log term benefits and name recognition to other sports. However the devil is in the details. Hockey wise, UND would almost certainly lose money in the near term, so what does UND gain as a whole by switching? 

    I don't think it will happen but time will certainly tell. 

    UND would get the same deal as Notre Dame, as ND has to sell the B1G home games and doesn't make anything direct from the league.  But with a new president, any thing is possible.

  4. The Big South wants to get to 12 teams and then split, so six would go to the ASun and then have six with the Big South and 2 AQ's.   The MEAC would likely be nonfb.

    The ASun FB league:

    Kennesaw St

    UNA

    NCAT

    Jacksonville St - to be added

    Howard - to be added

    E Kentucky - to be added

    This whole league could advance to FBS down the road if it got JMU, Delaware and Stony Brook.

    Basketball has, by far, the most potential. 3+ million people in the metro, 5.5+ million in the state and only one other DI Basketball team. Plus, a potential crosstown rivalry with the Gophers.

    The next 10 years will be interesting. 

    Hockey could be the easiest to show parity with the Gophers.

  6. The club team at UMaryland-Baltimore County (UMBC) is funded two thirds by the school.  Didn't know that was possible.  UMBC is the southernmost America East school, which has a lot of Hockey schools.  Imagine the LIU wants AEC as its future conference, and new member NJIT, which was added as a travel partner for UMBC, might want hockey too.  The NEC is mostly small but private schools and LIU isnt small.

  7. Most of the MEAC football is either gone or talking to another league, as Delaware St is talking to the NEC. which RMU just left

    The poorest endowed schools like Md-Eastern Shore, Coppin St, and  Morgan St are left, but they don't have football.  The one wealthy school, Howard, with almost a billion in endowment, can maybe forms it's own FBS league with the CAA.

    The ASun attempted to get it's own FBS or FCS league but that fell through when it never announced the eight more required teams and NJIT left for America East.  The ball is in the MEACs or CAA's court.  Chicago St may team up with the Maryland MEACs to stay alive.

    If anyone was wondering (likely not) the Columbia Mall owners paid $284,l000 in property taxes last year

    It appears Scheels, JCP, and the former Macy's are separate ownership

    Target, Dayton's, JCP, and Dayton-Hudson each owned the parcel they originally sat on.  Sears later. There weren't many big landholders.

  9. Ther are rumors about Youngstown St and Wright St dropping down a level or becoming branch campuses.  Youngstown St becoming a branch of Akron U, and Wright St becoming a branch of Miami U.  Akron has already dropped the number of its majors and colleges.  If both those happen, the Horizon drops to the ten schools.

    The writer has a below IQ Level much as you do.

    So NDSU is building state of the art indoor practice faciiities practice with no intention of moving up?  This is their chance to leave UND in the dust permanently.  This ismost NDSU fans dream.  You don't have much aspirations do you?
