Mama Sue

Thanks for all you have done for UND and keep us posted.

No, the articles in the Mpls. Star Tribune this morning. No link or other info. This may have been initial ruling because the article mentioned future rulings/appeals related to some labor laws. It seems some athletes are considering themselves employees based on their games make so much revenue for the schools. Some college athletes have or are organizing into labor unions.,what a mess.

Well NIL opened a huge door in college sports. Now the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled on a “test” to determine if students are eligible for minimum wage. The court ruled they may be eligible if they perform services for their schools’ benefit in return for express or implied compensation or in-kind benefit. WOW

Oh! The Iowa fans are really, really friendly and sociable. But when the game starts they are passionate, rabid Iowa fans!!!

Need to check times of other games….a nice drive. there are more law enforcement there than any other football game I have been to. Very safe community. Great stadium. FOOD: absolutely Hickory Park hands down. BBQ and expanded menu plus it is an ice cream parlor too. All the ice cream on the placemats….

So, do you think Artificial Intelligence or aliens have taken over college football (college sports) in general? More changes almost daily!

Miller has a lot of personal and professional integrity in my book. It seems to be a thing of the past in most media circles now. I recently attended a very high profile event in St. Paul. I read several newspaper accounts of the event. Was I even at the same event as those reporters? Just a sign of the times….

One has to start asking that question.

A good lineman is a good lineman.

“Top” as in AD

WOW An absolutely great editorial in the Mpls. Star Tribune this morning about college sports but mostly football. The “Wild West of college football that the NCAA” and “1906 Teddy Roosevelt helped create the NCAA (?)to stop TRAMP ATHELTES who were forever on the move from school to school.” The author says we now have tramp athletes again due to NIL.

I agree CMSioux.

I read the NCAA is looking at NIL again. Can’t remember the specifics but I think maybe they are proposing a two tier level…like P5 has different rules than the rest of the schools. why fix a washing machine that was never broke? Should have left it all alone, IMHO.

Oh I forgot women publicly peeing against a store wall on a public street.

Is there even such a thing? Other than sex, nudity, and puking….tailgates should be a little ? rowdy? Unless people get too drunk and offensive.

The AD should have stepped up years ago.

AMEN

Amen CMSioux

This same principle applies to building libraries, community parks, and wellness centers. GOOD fundraising has one of two approaches. 1) City is building a new library. All donations are undesignated and the city makes the decision. 2) This city is building a “community built playground” and various aspects have price tags from $25 to $20,000. You want to donate $100? You can buy a swing ($100) or 4 boards ($25) for the fence with each of your grandchildren’s names. Any other process does not pass the smell test….larger, much larger, donors do get some options like given two or three color options for all the seats in the arena( all pre-selected to coordinate).

I miss him…..

I see K-State’s Chris Kleiman was ranked the #4 coach (out of 12) in the Big 10 by ?on 3. Oh well! Go UND in 2024.

Glad to see you posting again Ira….. thanks for the update.

Seems to be a no brainer…go get him!

Not sure what thread this goes on… this morning the Minneapolis Star Tribune had an article in the sports section about NIL for high school athletes. I believe it is the first in a series. A Minnetonka girl’s BB player is the nation’s #6 recruit. She made a deal with New Balance. Her team all wore new New Balance shoes on the way to their state championship. Not sure this is a good direction for high school sports.

The new OC seems to have confidence…. Can’t wait.
