Going to trust what NMSU's and Tarleton St's pocketbooks say. By the WAC pursuing an FCS conference long term, it forces NMSU out or severely degrades NMSU's money making opportunity. I believe the WAC wants an FCS conference for two years, and then go FBS again. Tarleton doesn't have the money for FBS but the Southland will need fill ins because many of its schools will join the WAC. Much of the DII schools from the Lone Star will backfill for the Southland, like with Tarleton's and the WAC's media fake out. Tarleton is going DI but with the Southland. It didn't even mention the huge travel costs for the WAC and independent football team in its DI report. Southland travel costs almost equal Lone Star costs, which is what that report stated.

Here’s another article on Shockey. https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/elmhurst/sports/ct-elh-nate-shockey-york-north-dakota-basketball-tl-1003-20190929-ulgfpcalfvc3lc3kdg5e52m2mq-story.html

Some NHL franchises are now worth less than MLS teams, which have skyrocketed in value over ten years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2019/11/04/major-league-soccers-most-valuable-teams-2019-atlanta-stays-on-top-as-expansion-fees-sale-prices-surge/#9ad144051b58

He is not listed on the current roster so he is already sitting out a year. Maybe next year he can start. https://uncbears.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

Flush that prediction down the toilet as well as NDSU to the AAC. Bozoville is all over the AAC FBS rumor started by Lakes. The AAC is too high a conference to invite an FCS school, their stadium for fall and b-ball are too small, and NDSU’s academics are too low. The WAC would have to add an FCS team for five years.

There is an attempt to build a new arena in downtown Kalamazoo. https://wwmt.com/news/local/publicprivate-partnership-could-fund-new-downtown-kalamazoo-event-center Think there always was a tacit understanding by the NCHC that WMU would have a downtown arena. The voters rejected it based on a general sales tax, This would be a private;/state;/sales tax on motels, like MpLs does.

https://nbc25news.com/sports/local-sports/elizabeth-norris-of-corunna-volleyball-signs-letter-of-intent-to-university-ofnorth-dakota Didnt have the DI height for either of those positions so probably chose UND who was willing to offer the position of setter to meet her DI dreams.. Her sister played at Mich St. Wouldnt be surprised if she has played setter at a younger age. Tiffin apparently believes she is very capable of making the move.

This article says she was a middle hitter. https://www.mlive.com/highschoolsports/2019/09/see-michigans-10-finalists-for-the-2019-miss-volleyball-award.html

So it appears Tiffins great signing is Elizabeth Norris, a two time all state setter, from Michigan. Thought it would be a front line gal, but he knows better for the setting issues. Setters are the QB.

Evansville 67. #1 Kentucky 64

Eastern Washington schools have not hesitated to help themselves to our players: e.g Crandall and Drick. Hope all our players have a great game, but not enough to impress the Zags to steal one, especially Allen-Eikens.

Any talk of joining the B1G is a bunch of hooey. The nearest school to us as an academic and athletic reasonable comparison is Nebraska, and they only got in because of their fervent fan base and history (they were dropped from AAU the same year). Get someone to contribute billions for medical and other science research to UND, then get make AAU status in fifty years, get football to win and create a 40,000 seat stadium like NWestern, add a lest@ million people to ND, and in fifty years we are talking. Hockey is a niche sport in the B1G, but not in the NCHC or HE. When the gopher rumor was that ND was to be added, it was Notre Dame, not UND. A piece of PAC12 hockey is a whole bunch more reasonable, like Arizona State.

The WCHA broke up, so something did give. The new CCHA: BGSU - Ferris St Lake Superior St - N Michign Mich Tech - UWEC Mankato St - UST Bemidji - Minot A new Southern league Liberty -- High Point U Austin Peay - UAH Lindenwood - FGCU The Old WCHA UAF - UAA ASU - ?. ?? The ..- ??

The seven remaining WCHA Midwest members can not use the WCHA name as they withdrew. The Alaska schools now own it. Those seven could rename themselves the CCHA, as they don’t have a conference name yet.

Fenton would know better, but BGSU, Robert Morris, Mercyhurst, Oakland, Canisius, and Niagra. BGSU owns theCCHA name. Miami and WMU wouldn’t go there unless the CCHA become really good or Arizona St gets in. Bemidji and Mankato don’t have enough fans for CBS Sports. Unless he means this: https://www.swnewsmedia.com/chaska_herald/news/sports/it-s-all-good-in-the-ccha/article_386e8d38-7e2a-5fb8-a1f2-038fe4d05f50.html

Where’s the link for those dates? UWGB and FGCU started up DI sports within a couple decades of being a school.

St Thomas was talking with the Summit at last year’s Final Four whenit hadn’t been even kicked out of the MIAC. The Summit agreed to take UST then. http://www.startribune.com/st-thomas-has-partner-in-summit-league-as-it-attempts-to-blaze-trial-to-division-i/564636222/ The article states no school has ever jumped for DIII to DI. What about UWGB? FGCU didn’t have a DII alternate in Fl so they chose DI. Plenty of schools have moved from NAIA to DI now: Belmont, Lipscomb, ORU, Houston Baptist, most of the Big South, most of the Transamerica. UVU was in a JV association when it moved. All of those wouldn’t be possible now. Before 1972 or so, there wasn’t a DIII rather a college division that included DII and DIII.

Doubtful. While BJC has plenty of near 6’ players. no one over. Their roster is all North Dakotan, which produces tall girls, but they need to be exceptional to make a difference at DI. They don’t have any Europeans or other foreigners, which can be found a some JC schools trying to latch on to a DI school. Maybe BJC has an exceptional setter or defensive player that was overlooked by the DI’s.

Griffin-Dooley-Merseli were abnormally great talent for this area. Need to find more as most of that talent goes to P5 schools.

UND beats SDSU 3-2 and is 5-0 in fifth sets. They still can make the Summit playoff in Denver. Finish at NDSU and home with ORU,

The new center big screen was going to ensure that more people would be drawn, so said the Ralph. Millions of $'s were spent.

UND lost to DU, 3-0. The second set was close, 27-25.

Didn’t realize that more than half the Islanders home schedule has returned to Nausau Veterans Coliseum. Guess their preparing for a full move to their new coliseum at Belmont. https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/islanders-announce-2019-20-schedule/c-308041238
