266 D1 FB programs. I'll set the O/U at 253 schools that have contacted a player not in the portal this offseason, and I'm betting the over.

The NCAA frowns on gambling … unless you’re a TTU NIL transfer QB in gambling  rehab …

His appeal literally just got denied by the NCAA

Hopefully Husker fans are friendly towards our fanbase when we play there.

They were very friendly the last time.

Did I understand correctly that the student athlete called the coach? If correct the second the coach picked up the phone the violation occurred.

This is off topic so I'll apologize in advance...

I'm curious how and why the long time radio voice of UND Football has a statewide daily radio show and doesn't have the UND coach on the air on a weekly basis (at least during the season), much less hardly ever? 

How is this possible? Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure Dom Izzo has our head coach on his show more than our radio play by play voice does on his....which isn't much.

Excellent critique by @UNDvince97-01.

The schedule is great for H-F-H weekends this year.  I have been attending those games for around 15 years now and I have never seen 4 in a season.  Typical season is 1 or 2.  I know 10/17 is in books right now, but I am working on 11/7 or 11/21.

Excellent point …

As you know, the media coverage of UND could be (and should be) much better. 

Kudos to the guys at UNDFB360 for doing what they have been doing to try address this… but we need more. And should get more.

I try to cover UND Football heavily at From The Stands To The Spotlight! I feel like the main 3 sports the Herald covers heavily is UND  Football,  Hockey and Basketball. I'm still trying to get more readers so I can start doing interviews like the UND Football 360 Folks! For those that haven't checked out my blog are welcome to check it out! This Fall I will have Fighting Hawk Football Pregame and Score Prediction and Postgame Blogs and Thursday Sports Feature blogs and other Fun blogs at From The Stands To The Spotlight! https://ftstspotlight.blogspot.com/?m=1

Go Hawks!

New rules changes in D-1 Football  it allows for  ajoint practice during the spring time period between 4 years schools.  Do UND and NDSU schedule a joint practice every spring ie a Spring Game - another revenue source?

I could be wrong, but my guess is NDSU won't want a single thing to do with UND football moving forward,  including scheduling a joint practice. I doubt we will ever be on the same field again.
