Sioux>Bison

Per Dom Izzo, the NDSU vs SDSU and the USD vs SDSU football games will be picked up by ESPN this fall. Kick times TBD. Sucks for Midco and the Fargo media! The poor Bison fans won’t be able to get it now because they don’t have cable like civilized people

They could have already been picked up by the Big 10, why would they only be picked up from the ACC but not the Big 12?

Rumor is per Dom Izzo that all of the TX WAC teams are on their way out leaving the 3 Utah schools as the only FB members left. Rumor is the Summit might pick them up and add their FB to the MVFC. That also opens the door to Summit FB.

They should just drop all sports, waste of money especially with all that travel. Heck close both schools too, we have enough higher ed in ND

Who knew Kolpac was Lakes all this time! Not sure why he is jealous of the CUSA, they could have jumped there long ago

We return almost no one outside of Bo, including coaches. Not many programs can keep it rolling after that kind of upset. Honestly not worried about offense though the the question is if the defense can really ever get any worse than last year…

Screw Employers. In the end most of them really don’t give a damn about their employees . In corporate America I’ve come to a conclusion that a worker really needs to worry about themselves because at the end of the day we are all just a number no matter how irreplaceable you think you are. I have never regretted taking a new position after getting a new boss that sucked. I’ve also never regretted not taking a new position because of who was in the management hierarchy. The days of staying loyal to a company for more than a couple years is a thing of the past!

Who needs the MVFC if we can have Summit Football

Ego’s die hard…. Eric not admitting they were wrong doesn’t surprise me one bit

Bubba probably tried to sell how the new OC and oline coach was a good thing for the program. Bubba tied to act like it wasn’t a big deal that these coaches left, bubbas ignorance might be the reason for the disgruntlement

Wow the Summit is so desperate that they are going to take new start up western schools when conferences like the Big Sky want nothing to do with them. Heck maybe this will even get Northern Colorado to jump back to old NCC. Utah Valley starting D1 hockey could happen with the new hype the NHL is bringing to the metro. They could play at the practice rink in Provo or at the Maverick Center

Exactly we are going to be competing with the big schools and their huge collectives in hockey. It will be hard for the 1883 collective to just pay for hockey let alone all sports. Football and l basketball will always have the problem of not being able to compete with the P5 and will continue to see guys hit the portal no matter what crumbs the 1883 collective can give them. Unfortunate truth. Hockey may be the only immune sport in the entire state that we won’t have elite transfers out ( plus we have already been dealing with NHL departures for decades).

As a business expense. Ie. advertising/sponsorships

Is there maybe 10 FCS schools that are actually going to have enough donors to actually start NIL collectives? Maybe 20 total. UND wont have a problem with FCS football. Basketball and hockey will be hard enough

We won the lottery keeping belquist, hard to imagine how he turns down the offers I assume he’s getting , shows his dedication to UND!

Where else would ASU go? ASU wanted in to the NCHC more than any other landing spot. Where else would ASU rather go?

Leave St Cloud in the dust. Only accept the MN teams that want to be a true D1 athletic department

Yikes not seeing any news about any camp invites or other signings .

and he’s gone

I rather take the NIL money to pay our good coaches to stay

Pretty good numbers for a school that only recruits d2 talent!

Unlike many teams our O line recruiting has been very talented and deep. Yea I’m worried about replacing starters with guys who have never played but I think we have a full stable of guys that can step up! O line recruiting has been one of our biggest strengths! my biggest concerns are still on the defensive side. I think our secondary can step up but are our d line and linebackers ready to step up? Is it scheme? Either way I hope we have it figured out

Yet UND Football still makes the playoffs just to go one and done. That’s all we expect from our top programs……… All the coaching concerns are tied to $$$$$$. Why stay at UND when you can get more money to leave? We should be more worried about the state of the defense. The defensive performance last year was horrendous and I haven’t seen any changes to how they are going to fix that.

future is expansion once GF grows big enough for 2 full size hospitals
