On top of that he got away with it. I'd love to see him back in Fargo. Don't forget he blames UND's rise and NDSU's fall in the 90's on scholarship reduction even thought both schools had the same number. Rocky is a riot. 2 Quote

Don't really see a P5 school hiring straight from the FCS, but who knows!! That fact that Klieman and AD Coyle went to High School together makes things interesting!! I think Klieman would be a good hire there. I think they want someone young. I don't see Frost or Speck or whatever his name is from WMU going there. It could happen. Quote

molden Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Rocky won't be considered for a return to NDSU. His time has passed in Fargo. Quote

Rocky is a riot. I suppose it can be debated how big of a role scholarship reductions played in NDSU coming back to the pack in the 90s, but you must at least acknowledge that going from 45 to 36(someone correct me on those if they're wrong) would hurt the teams at the top and help the teams at the bottom.

If you mean it helps the teams who don't fully fund their programs, then sure I agree with you....if a team is only funding 10 scholarships and their competition goes from 45 to 36 that would help them a bit. I do agree that the scholarship cut hurt NDSU and it took them awhile to adjust to it. From what I have been told by guys who know quite a bit about college football and how programs are run, the veer offense was an "expensive" offense to run as far as scholarship money and in order to keep the talent and depth to run the veer while cutting scholarships overall something has to give somewhere else.

That makes perfect sense!! Just take a minute and use some logic and you'll understand. It's really quite simple. I'all use an FBS example. If this afternoon the NCAA announced that they were reducing the amount of scholarships from 85-76, 9 players that would have been on Alabamas roster are now on another team's roster. 9 players, scholarship players, good players that could turn into stars and/contributors are now on another teams roster. 9 players from clemsons roster, 9 players from Ohio state, Washington, Michigan, Oklahoma etc, 9 players from each of those rosters are now on a "lesser" team's roster. who gets worse? Who gets better? Maybe alabama had it down to 2 really great running backs coming out of high school. RB just happens to be a position that they don't have a huge need this year in recruiting so they have allocated only 1 scholarship to the position. So they take the one that they think is better, but really it's a toss up. The other guy takes a scholarship to auburn and turns into a star. The guy Alabama took was riddled with injuries and didn't see the field much, non contributor. If they had those 9 scholarships the auburn kid would have been on their roster. Quick and small example, but it's easy to see that the teams at the top are hurt by a scholarship reduction while the teams at the bottom are helped, as kids who would have likely accepted a scholarship to Alabama were now at auburn.

Bison06 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I should clarify one point. reducing scholarships in this way would only affect the teams at the top negatively in the short term. Eventually, having the resources be lesser but still equal would find a new equilibrium and the "better" programs would still be the "better" programs. Quote
Bison06 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I should further clarify. In no way am I saying this was the only reason. That would be foolish. UND's rise through the 90's and early 2000's had many factors, which included really, really good coaching and recruiting good solid kids. All I'm saying is that reducing scholarships, definitely hurt NDSU in the early 90's. And they without a doubt came back to the pack for a decade. Quote
