Western Illinois and Eastern  Illinois getting in before us.  What a joke.  They have made a mockery of the whole process.  Very sad.

Well, to be fair, all of their "experts" are busy working on the North Carolina football and basketball cheating case...sanctions coming any day now, I hear.  ;)

Seems like we've been on the wrong end of a few processes/committees as of late...

The NCAA FCS playoff committee hated the F'n Hawks name so much that they did not want to lower themselves to include it and us.

Robert Otis Kelley approves of committees and disapproves of this message.

Didn't our women's basketball team that won the Big Sky regular season and conference tournament have to travel to Texas for March Madness and USD got to   stay close to home and go  to  the Regional  we thought we were going to be playing in. (USD was lower ranked than we were)   Seems like UND coaches  thought  our women's team got the short end of the stick too.  Let's face it, NCAA is still holding a grudge against UND.

Take a peek at New Hampshire's 2015 resume. Best win was at home v. Richmond and an FBS loss. 

 

It is enough to make a fellow paranoid.

of course they are don't expect it to change. Just because we are a birdie now. Anything to remind us that we are that small school on the prairie that tried to not give in to the cry bullies. They look, the other way for hockey because it means nothing to them.

The at-larges followed Sagarin to a tee, except North Dakota being 9 spots above UNH. (147 v 156).  Strange indeed.

Hockey is 100% objective, no gray area to screw us.

Here's a couple more stats to think about.

Conference PF's and PA's......Western Illinois 224-260 and New Hampshire 171-172

UND was 255-218

Eastern Illinois wins were a combined 28-48 on the season.

UND's were 32-45 and that includes FBS Wyoming (1-11)

Besides being the only 7 win team to beat a FBS team to not make the playoffs, UND is one of only 2 teams this season to beat a FBS school and a seeded playoff team.  Congratulations!!

Maybe the ncaa is trying to force the split of the Big Sky into FBS and FCS leagues. Only 3 of 13 teams from the #2 rated FCS conference. Idaho State would likely not be one of the move-ups. A little jealousy on the ISU AD's part in not supporting his conference more?

Sioux Volley, you got anything?

NCAA wanted and demanded we change the name from Sioux.  They also denied in my opinion the religious rights of the Sioux nation by ignoring the ceremony that gave UND the right to use the name Sioux.  Now you would think the NCAA would have wanted UND to be recognized under the new name, but they refused the bid into the national championship series.  Interesting...
