I want to know who these athletic directors are talking to. Every low major D1 school complains about not getting other D1s in for non conference games. How do all these schools have the same issue????

There are very very few mid to low major D1 programs that could pay to have a schedule filling all of their non league home games with other D1s.

Why doesn’t Duke just schedule non league games with UNC, NC state, and Virginia??? 

I bet if Duke didn’t have one of the largest basketball budgets where they can pay for any team in the country to come there as a guarantee, didn’t play in one of the top conferences in the country, and was located in the midwest where in a 4 state radius there are 10ish D1 teams who are all in their conference they would be looking to schedule with the surrounding schools to help solve a problem everyone is dealing with.

Nobody is talking about Duke. We’re talking about UND.

And myself and others have already provided the solution. It’s really not that complicated. Plenty of better non-D1 schools within reasonable driving distance that would love to come play an exhibition D1 game. 

So why doesn’t NDSU and SDSU play Northern State? Why doesn’t USD play Augie and Sioux Falls? Why won’t Omaha play Kearney and Wayne????

On a tangent from the current topic.....this is the best team Concordia has had in years. Length, athletic, skill and depth. They'll be a  suprise in the MIAC.

 

.....carry on about Duke now.

They look solid. Loge is playing real well. UND’s gotta figure out how to handle the zone.

SDSU played Mary and Concordia SP in the last few years. NDSU has played crookston and Minot state in the last 2 years. UND women played Minot State tonight. Not sure your point?

Are any of those teams considered to be worth a damn in the NSIC???

 

that’s my point.

Ok you won the argument

Do we know where Brooks is ? Or did I miss it somewhere?

Not an argument from my standpoint- questions were asked- i gave the insight as to why college programs schedule the way they do- it’s something literally every low to mid major school does

You’re acting like the top NSIC are saying no to playing UND, NDSU, USD, SDSU. Now that could be the case but I would guess more than likely they aren’t reaching out or offering a good guarantee. I could be wrong but would guess they don’t want to schedule a top NSIC because they are scared to lose and take all the risk. They’re worried how it would look if they lost versus playing against some better talent which would make the team better.

No you asked why do local schools not schedule a list of NSIC teams. I provided you examples of teams scheduling NSIC teams and then you wanted to argue about the strength of the NSIC which I don’t care to do. Have a good night.

Didn’t really give any insight to why, just said basically we aren’t Duke, UMary Minot st, Concordia St P, Crookston suck

In essence you’re correct.

When Augie was number 1 in the country i don’t think D1s were banging in the doors begging to play them so that they could play better competition. 
 

same with northern when they had their little run- no one in this region was gonna schedule them from a D1 standpoint 

 

if you’re gonna schedule a non D1 you’re going to schedule a guarantee win- I’ve had to say that over and over again and i don’t know why that’s a hard concept to grasp 

[SD UND]

Just now, HoopsFan03 said:

So again, you’re choosing to ignore my original solution. Schedule better “local” NAIA or D3 teams…….
 

It really isn’t that hard. Will be better competition for at least a half or even a little into the second half. Makes everybody better and should be a guaranteed win. Not a 40 point blowout that nobody likes to play in or watch. It’s not complicated. 

It appears as though that’s exactly what they did with this game.

I understand for some teams why that would apply but for UND what does losing to a Northern st really do? Not like it matters for the Summit League tournament and there is already a 0.1% chance the Summit is getting a 2nd team in March Madness. So just makes us play better competition.

Now do those NSIC want to do the same thing as UND and play a lesser team at home, most likely yes so I can see how that is a problem.

So moral of this thread is top nsic teams better then us

Because they all want home games as well. 

I think a third game, vs NDSU, played annually in Bismarck could be kind of a neat idea.  Would be a way to showcase the state universities to North Dakotans who live farther West.  Could make it a neutral site tournament potentialy as well, sponsored by ND Tourism or something.

I was confused as well. All of a sudden SD was comparing us to Duke and then wanted to argue the strength of the NSIC. He was on one last night!
