A couple weeks ago. He said NDSU would consider it in a couple years. When the Summit gets football and the whole thing goes FBS IMHO Its on this thread.

Given that a hundred times. Your next opponent Delaware will move up too as they have updated their stadium and facilities for FBS.. AD Larsen confirmed that NDSU will move in a few years. But the fans bases are so knowledgeable that they say it won’t happen.

UMary made list of USNWR as a national U for the first time. Before it was a regional university. UND has helped their engineering programs by partnering with it. It wouldn’t surprise if they took hockey DI as they are eliglble and the WCHA needs local teams now. And their business and medicine programs continue to expand. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/university-of-mary-2992/photos

The opportunity cost lost is nearly $3 million per year and even more PR from FBS. Staying FCS would lose all that additional revenue and PR and maybe our conference mates. Where would UND go for a conference at an FCS level without the other Dakotas? Being a weak G5, in a conference of course, provides better return than FCS as there is all kinds of revenue sources that FCS doesn’t have. No FBS conference is the sole reason that Idaho dropped down. Georgia Southern and App St only moved up because they would be eligible for a CFP stake, which nadnt been enacted before, and then Coastal Carolina suddenly moved up averaging less than 9000 and needing to double its stadium. The CFP and the PR was the admins motivation. The stadium.is in same place as HPC Phase II.

A fraction of the Dakota people oppose the Sioux nickname. Any of the Bizon fans that still use it are beyond ignorant. To think otherwise is having your head up your posterior.

The EWU president and AD do not want that known yet. Neither does any one else. But they are all moving toward FBS facilities. Spending $25 million for improved FCS facilities gives negative ROI, unless you don’t have a stadium.

Per usual, a Bozoville fan fill the Kat fans with nonsense.

Just knew this post would get rejections from posters. The intimate seating with a track around the fb field? How does that make intimate? Rented bleachers can get set up along three sides, so the cost goes to expenses, not capital. It says they will get temporary seating “at least” on occasion. Once the significance of the move sets in, another permanent expansion can be done. If EWU was going to stay FCS, the cheapest thing to do is nothing as FCS has no payout. EWU wants a piece of the CFP, bigger opponent payouts and vastly expanded media attention that comes with FBS.

Massey has UND going undefeated against the OOC competition the next two weeks. But games against USD, Denver and Omaha it gives very small chances at winning. https://www.masseyratings.com/team.php?t=5538&s=308159

Sather probably didn’t even vote because he hasn’t been around the conference once. NDSU is such a joke as first in media if they are only counting national TV. Bet NDSU wishes they had a do over on facilities. Western Illinois is by far the last school. Most of the others are packed together.

EWU appears to be getting an absolute bare bottom FBS stadium with expansion of Roos Field approved for $25 million. The track around the stadium will be moved and a new track built elsewhere. The expansion will take 2 years. The old Gateway project for Roos was going to be $65 milllion and a separate proposal was an entirely new stadium, and both didn’t get the needed $ support. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/sep/06/ewu-proposes-major-football-stadium-renovations-ai/ IMHO, this was essentially a requirement for EWU to jump to the Summit League, with Weber St, Idaho, and the Montanas.

10-7 to scholarship Truman St. Butler beat 2nd year start up Indiana Wesleyan in OT.

Mimi Eiden scored in the 103rd minute of OT. Now 2-1 UND.

UND scored in the last three minutes to send the game against Hawaii to OT. OT now ongoing.

Lost to Brown, 3-1. https://brownbears.com/sidearmstats/wvball/summary;team=away Could have won three games in the NE, but settled for one. Sould win all games in the Carolinas next weekend,

Appalachian St had its struggles in transition but is now the top team in the Belt, has been rated (a rare thing for the Belt), and has lost coaches to more opuluent programs. Ga Southern and App St are the stars of the Belt.

Sam Houston St 77 Oklahoma Panhandle St 0 F Sammie took the gas off the final 2qtrs

When the find out about Bubba’s offensive philosophy, they end up passing on UND.

Schlossman had good points about needing UND game breakers on offense. Mussman gets slammed here but he recruited Harden and Galloway, the type players that Bubba doesn’t seem to want or attract with his emphasis on ball control and defense. Need a combo of the two coaches. Bubba can’t outrecruit NDSU for defensive players and needs to modify his offense. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4650987-Commentary-UND-lacks-gamebreakers-and-it-shows-against-NDSU

When NDSU went DI earlier, they paid for new locker rooms, workout rooms and meeting rooms in the Fargo Dome while UND didn’t do much for ten years. Then UND dropped NDSU as an opponent when UND was still DII because the scholarship disparity as a loss would hurt UND for the DII playoffs, and then NDSU AD refused to play UND when UND went DI. The net effect of that move made NDSU the main advertising supported team in the state so it had plenty of money for coaches and other facilities such as an indoor practice facility. Combined with the effect of SDSU going DI and building great facilities, UND’s recruiting fall way behind both of them. SDSU moved ahead of UND among recruits (used to get top SD recruit to come to UND) and NDSU is way ahead in the recruiting battles. Facilities, competent coaching, and winning other games are badly needed.

It was at near the end of the game according to Bozovillle.

Panhandle St is an NAIA program that is relevant to Mayville St’s football prowess. They used to be DII but never won so they moved down. The only cities near it are Dodge City, KS and Amarillo, TX.

Beat Marist 3-2 with a good second half comeback after being creamed in the first two sets.

UND has to avaoid turnovers and miscues. If it has a miscue, make like Minot St for a TD. https://www.si.com/college-football/2019/09/05/minot-state-kickoff-return-fumble-recovery-touchdown-video

Hoped to see Schuster at the end of the game last week.
