It was an empty threat. The worst nightmare for the forum is having someone find out they can learn how to use a computer to get their obscure content online from sources like gobison if the forum doesn't carry it. Then they start finding out other news is actually covered, as well. The final step is cancelling subscriptions because not only can they find the same content, they can get their coupons delivered to their email. Every day people are leaving newspapers for alternate content and there are sources willing to fill the voids when the gaps arise. There is nothing NDSU needs the forum for except avoiding a fight until people catch up. NDSU made the right move stepping back and letting FCC dig their own hole because that is what they have been doing since then. They will again. People are realizing they are not reporting the news, they are creating news. This is not the time to fight them but that time will come.
Is there a link or PDF for the FCC proposal?

Seems like the fcc's is pouting again..... lack of ndsu homecoming coverage. Damn the fan, it's their way or no way. Cass county needs to find a new paper of record....need to bring that up to my commissioner.
And some grammar lessons:
We hear of people "not liking NDSU" or "NDSU haters." More specifically, plain and simple. INSTEAD, They "envy NDSU."
Furthermore, we also hear of some being "jealous" of NDSU. Not possible to be jealous of NDSU if you live in the Fargo-Moorhead or state of North Dakota. Why? Because "envy" is a reaction to lacking something. Jealousy is a reaction to the THREAT of losing something. Since NO ONE in the F-M region or state of North Dakota has ever won 5 straight or had such a terrific athletic program, D2 or D1/FCS, had such a great research component and such incredible and far-reaching national and in some cases international acclaim, then it is envy, NOT jealousy.
I have been around the block a few times, run into people. Comments from people from other local/statewide university people. "I am sick of you NDSU guys winning so much." "Always in the news." "They don't cover other schools as much. All I hear is NDSU, NDSU. Go to the grocery store and then there is that Bison Illustrated. Can't escape it, they say." "I go into stores, all I see is NDSU gear and gizmos." That is ENVY, not hatred (although it could and probably has morphed into hatred, I suppose, just not jealousy.
What would people have us do, start losing games so we can be "popular." Leave D1/D1-FCS and go to D2 again so they can "like us." You cannot win for losing around this state and region.
