It makes no sense for SD/ND schools to play the regional D2 schools... Why doesn't USD/SDSU play Northern or Augie? By playing those games you have a higher chance of losing and that isn't good for anyone, especially a team coming off one of their worst years ever. If you are going to play a NON D1, you play NAIA's or D3's because you schedule those games to get wins, not to sweat it out vs one of the top 50 D2 schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I remember when Saul was at NDSU they played a couple of Moorhead State's better teams and needed some help from the men in stripes to get through one of the games and might have lost the other and I heard Saul told the A.D. not to schedule them any more.

They are making sure that happens by scheduling how they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I’m sure it’s a lot easier on the budget to pay a North Central Presentation (insert here). As opposed to a Northern Sun team. Just like if Kentucky brings in a Mountain West team- that MWC team would probably demand more than UND could. Or even if Kentucky wanted to bring in a DII that Dll may not be able to get as much as UND could. Also, because the NSIC has so many teams don’t start playing conference games by mid Nov.? They too want to have some non-conf games against the Presentation(s) and Crown Colleges of the world before fully diving in… so it might even be a little schedule related when it comes down to it.

I'm just pointing out that UND will probably never play a non league or exhibition against MSUM, Bemidji, Northern, Minot, Mary, Crookston, or any other NSIC team again.. So you might as well get over that or you are just going to be whining about the same thing every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction, Nov 25th-27th UND will play Utah Tech in the first game on Nov 25th, Utah Tech will play Cal State Fullerton on the 26th. UND will head out to Utah and California next year to complete the contract, per the D1docket. Just a 3 team MTE. Must be getting close to the full schedule. Maybe one more game left out there?

It would make the most sense to get him to redshirt and not try and play just the conference schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two teams that went to the NCAAs last year (CS Fullerton and Montana State) and a team that won the regular season crown (Seattle) Not bad. I went looking back at some old non-conference schedules from previous seasons, they have come a long way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
