Horry County, where Coastal is located (which includes Myrtle Beach), has a 1% sales tax dedicated to educational improve educational improvements, and a percentage of that goes to Coastal Carolina. Coastal has an estimated $50 mill to spend on improvements as it see fit. http://grandstrand.happeningmag.com/myrtle-beach-sales-taxes/

You just seem incapable of reading between the lines. The Citadel has a 21,000 seat stadium. But the Coastal coach is actually a billionaire from his days with Merril Lynch, TD Bank and helped launch TDAmeritrade. When he retired, he took a volunteer asst job with Nebraska, coached an Omaha UFL team, and then became head coach at Coastal. Coastal won't have any trouble raising money for a stadium expansion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Moglia

Was Skyhawks ever on the list? At least it ties into the UAS and aviation part of UND and ND. Guess it would confuse UND with Bismarck Shiloh though.

The Sun Belt board says they are the pick over EKU. The Commish is visiting there this month and a bowl game is possible an hour down the road in Charleston.

http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/sports/college/big-south/coastal-carolina-university/article29775115.html Looks like Coastal Carolina will be a new member of the Sun Belt conference, moving there next year, and moving to FBS in 2018. Coastal doesn't even have 10k undergrads, was only started in 1954 as a JC, became a 4yr school in 1993, and has less than $30 mill endowment, and they can go FBS? Coastal's stadium only seat 9200, and there is tentative plans to go bigger, and it's academics is on par with St Cloud St. Tell me why again that the upper Big Sky is not FBS material.

Don't worry, Fullerton has already given NDSU a standing invite for his new FBS league.

Interesting that Chicago 's crime went way up when huge public housing complexes were destroyed, like Cabrini Green, and then those people were dispersed by Section 8 housing throughout mostly the south side. The invading new gangs from the tough projects fight the old neighborhood gangs over petty things. An unintended consequence of Obama's/Valerie Jarrett's/Rahm Emmanuel' s Chicago utopia / liberal dogooding, which the Chicago political elite never saw coming, even though they were warned.http://www.rollingstone.com/sports/news/inside-chicagos-endless-cycle-of-gun-violence-20150722

The Detroit metro has had some really strong demarcation boundaries, 8 Mile Road, with Oakland and Macomb counties north of it, and Wayne County south. Macomb County used to have suburbs rivaling Bevery Hiĺls for opulence, like the Grosse Point and St Clair (Park, Shores, Hills, etc) communities. With the collapse of the American auto industry, they are still impressive, but now Edina, Wayzata, and Eden Prairie have wealthier residents.

It's the Greenway, which has 20 miles of trails total on both side of the Red. There is a sister pedestrian bridge at the Lincoln Golf Course which makes a Greenway loop. Every time I'm in Grand Forks, take people down there, as it really adds to the two cities. http://www.greenwayggf.com/

Sundogs seems popular among the psuedo-hippies, professorial, and rainbow flag types on Facebook, literally anyone who doesn't like athletics to begin with. They don't want a fierce nickname or anything that can be construed as potentially violent, so they go with Sundogs, rainbows, and lolly pops (sugar free of course, but without aspartame) etc. They will be voting.

https://mobile.twitter.com/McMurphyESPN/status/627140407927963649 So the B1G won't officially schedule FCS teams after 2016. Must mean their is officially a way for FCS teas to go FBS. Western B1G teams and even Rutgers and Maryland don't have much benefit in playing the MAC schools, as it's a Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois based conference.

NDSU didn't take long before they posted the Big12 patch on their site. Also learned from B-vile that wrassling and hockey are equivalent as far as fan base, attendance, and tv audience. So when does the FargoDome become the home base of the mighty bison wrestling team that attracts overflow crowds and televises it's matches to eager statewide audiences?

The new wrestling affiliates of the B12 conference won't even have guaranteed duals against the Big12 teams. Their only needed so the B12 wrestling champions automatically qualify for nationals. http://www.widerightnattylite.com/2015/7/29/8970377/big-xii-adds-six-affiliate-schools-for-wrestling

UNO names it's arena Baxter and sells out season tickets. http://www.omaha.com/uno/uno-hockey-season-tickets-for-the-new-arena-are-already/article_3a00b4ec-a978-5912-952a-94033f6ec1ac.html?mode=jqm

Roughriders would be the favorite in any head to head matchup. My fear is that Fighting Hawks or Sundogs would win with 25 or 30% plurality among five or six finalists and they don't require a runoff election. The voting public is not nearly as informed as here. A lot of irrational fears about Roughriders seem to be out there.

When Pat was hired by UND, wondered if he wouldn't play a bigger role down the road with football ( ... Big Sky, ....FBS). MoRe broadcast marketing is needed anyway.

Why post on here then? It's beyond ridiculous that a Fighting Irish fan would hate UND football enough to post here.

And Bi-son has slang meanings too.

Ariz St has plans to build a new rink on campus. Should expect an announcement soon and a conference affiliation to boot. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2015/07/22_arizona_state_full_steam.php

Dale Lennon lost a lot of respect around here when he trashed the old nickname. Bubba wasn't that stupid.

UND should engrave this article and post it near Merrifield Hall and the now torn down Budge Hall: http://bismarcktribune.com/news/columnists/curt-eriksmoen/merrifield-sacrifices-for-und/article_ab66a114-e577-5369-a685-8d59ddfaf7d1.html

Since bi-zon fans are doing their semi-annual trashing of Ralph, his legacy is still doing good deeds. Funny how bisons never trash the millions he donated to the blind and disabled. Doing good deeds won't get one to heaven, but making bad decisions can be forgiven too. http://news.unlv.edu/release/engelstad-family-foundation-pledges-10-million-unlv-med-school-scholarships

And some Utes find it offensive. Spirit Lake said it wasn't, so who are you but some bizon troll using racism as a convenient cover to spew your hate? And your making the argument that Bison football games are highly offensive with all their SiouxSuckSh** chants for the past 12 years. Who's racist now?

You're so righteous that you marched with Ron His Horse Is Thunder, isn't that right? You wouldnt protest the Utah Utes one bit, but if it messes with UND it's got to be racism. One big fat potbellied hypocrite. Thought you were bison73 or whatever. You haven't had enough time to work on that pot, or have you?
