DU nervously eyes the WCC

AI makes a market correction ;)

Because its basically a casino with dice that are weighted in favor of non-EPSCOR states

Oh I've perused those numbers a plenty, and what I see is that NDSU earned its R1 status, in spite of massive cuts in state support

I don't believe you are correct fwiw
And how rich coming from a UND guy who's med school gets its own special pot of $$$ set aside on multiple fronts
Too funny

You're the school with the 'silver...

You know what I meant

Look at the new landscape of the portal and NIL in D1 athletics

Look at the demographic trends for higher ed in the upper Midwest, and juxtapose that against the Dakota...

Not really anymore, though. UND is a hockey school that invests in hockey like NDSU invests in FB. This makes us different in this context, like it or not. I believe that is what he is saying
...

NDSU will never add hockey, fwiw
They’d put that money into FB and BB
Makes no sense whatsoever to have 2 D1 MIH programs in ND
There’s already way too much D1 redundancy

That said, I do not...

Better that people listen to it themselves, I think, since everyone will hear things differently based on their own perspective. I’m less pessimistic than you are on this topic, for example. I do...

No reason to add hockey, even though I like it and it’s a regional fit
NDSU would be much better off investing if hoops, even if it ends up being "FCS 4ever"
I don’t think it will, though...

Had the same thought when I heard that too

Except that if you actually read my posts, you'll see that I'm not at all "FBS or bust", by any stretch of the imagination. You actually have much more of an agenda than I do.

Of course not. Nobody said that. But if I’m coming in as a new commish, I’m sure as hell going to check in with the best schools in my new conference to get a sense of what they want and what their...

“Friends, I'm hearing that St.Thomas, Denver and Omaha aren't the schools the Summit is *really* worried about...

Summit FB = Northern Sun 2.0, except with more expenses (D1) and less money (declining enrollment). Tell me how that’s a good idea? It’s not.

Why would NDSU leave the MVFC? To go FBS. That’s the...

"Summit football" is a desperate plea perpetuated by perennial losers scared of getting left behind. No way Fenton is even considering it. Nor should he. That would be stupid.

... and NDSU will...

Curious about Fenton. Anyone listen to the interview on the Brakedown a week or two ago? When KB asked him what his vision for the Summit was, he said "the strongest ALMOST-nonFBS league". Did I hear...

Looks like he knows hockey eh?

I wouldn’t lump UST or even UND into the ‘bad’ category

By endowment:

Denver $762M
UST $520M
UND $280M
USD $260M
NDSU $250M (per Kolpack)
…

UST will keep hockey, meaning they can't afford scholarship football. No need to water down the MVFC further. Good for the Summit. BB recruiting will change tho

So where's Augie? Must not have it...

I have no idea how full they are, honestly. I sure hope they are and they certainly look better. I’m all in on building. I just worry about the future demographics of higher ed in ND/MN but I guess...

The MN schools saw this coming and lowered their admission standards to get the MN students to stay in MN, in a nutshell.

The NDSU housing build-up is how DB chose to approach the future....
