Guess with the demise of the Flames and Thrashers, hockey is not dead in Georgia. Nothing has been said about DI, but a Southern hockey league looks imminent to me.

Bo Pelini resigned at YSU to take DC at LSU. http://www.fcs.football/cfb/story.asp?i=20200127152643807061604&ref=hea&tm=&src=FCS

Fan preference won't make a difference, as NDSU fans preferred DII over DI way back when they moved up. Presidents make the final decision. Never took the poll seriously, but just thought it was humorous.

3’s are the key for this team!

This Forum poll says that only UND Hockey fans support NDSU to FBS. https://www.inforum.com/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/football/4879996-McFeely-Bison-football-fans-want-team-to-stay-FCS-poll-finds

Sacred Heart is building their own on campus 4000 seat rink. https://www.uscho.com/2020/01/25/sacred-heart-announces-plans-for-new-on-campus-rink-for-mens-womens-d-i-teams-set-to-open-in-2022/ The school lists 32 varsity sports.

It will be interesting if Brown stoops low and attacks Bochenski for the juvenile offense of counterfeiting money.

UND behind DU by nine with 11 seconds to go.

Weber St QB Jake Constantine has entered the transfer portal. https://bigskyfans.com/wildcats/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8640

Disagree. Boise St gets athletes above the MWC standard. The important part is they have a strong schedule. That Fiesta Bowl with Oklahoma was one of the best bowl games ever.

St Thomas has met with the NCAA and is optimistic that the DIII to DI rules will be changed by April. http://www.startribune.com/commissioner-st-thomas-move-to-division-i-looking-very-optimistic-after-key-ncaa-meeting/567271842/

A story about the impact of the Nashville Bridgestone arena on the region: https://www.nhl.com/predators/news/past-decade-sees-bridgestone-arena-become-one-of-worlds-best/c-312900352

Well excuse me. Thought it determined disperions for the CFPayouts.

They and SDiegoSt had a deal with the Big West but the Big East deal fell apart. Boise would have paid the Big West $1.5 mill per year. Now, they could go WAC, or Big Sky or even the Summit if if goes further west. The Big West didn't want Boise then, but San Diego St insisted.

Boise St can probably do much better than BYU as a football independent. There is getting a lot of them again.

Interesting the Iowa AD Gary Barta, an NDSU alum, is the new chairman of the CFP committee. He will give NDSU all kinds of slack when they go FBS with a new conference.. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28537890/three-added-college-football-playoff-selection-committee-iowa-ad-gary-barta-new-chair

SDSU beat NDSU by five, 78-73.

USD demolished SDSU 83-48. https://www.argusleader.com/story/sports/college/university-of-south-dakota/2020/01/19/womens-basketball-no-21-south-dakota-coyotes-blast-south-dakota-state-jackrabbits/4468594002/

The spat between Boise St and the MWC has gotten worse: http://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/boise-state-suing-mountain-west-over-18-million-bonus-related-to-future-television-deals Boise St could be forced out.

The ASUN posted that it would expand to as many as 20 teams today. Think this is just the start of an FBS league, with CAA FCS schools like James Madison, Delaware, Stony Brook, Albany and others like Jacksonville St, North Carolina A&T, E Kentucky, and Youngstown St. Current members like Liberty, Kennesaw St and North Alabama and future football members like North Florida and FGCU would be ecstatic. https://asunsports.org/general/2019-20/releases/20200122lh6utq

Guess NHL Seattle is building a three rink practice center at North Gate mall, effectively changing that mall into a mini entertainment center. https://mynorthwest.com/1140033/nhl-seattle-ice-centre-details/ .

I believe it for what is worth. Somebody or plural is giving UND a big gift for HPCII and maybe more and Memorial is not worth it for stability reasons, like many other campus building. Locker rooms move to Hyslop until better ones are built near the HPC-I.

Had posted that story. The MVC would be likely after they finish their transition as the MVC doesn’t take transitioning schools. The Big East is possible but it needs a winning mbb program and a big arena.
