He's been at UNI since 2001.
He's been the head coach since 2006.
He's going to move into top 5 for all time wins as a MVC coach this year
He's going to move into top 5 for all time conference wins as a MVC coach this year
He's won a few COY awards

It might be time people started getting his name right.

Good lord. My apologies then to you and Ben JACOBSON. Sometimes people misspell my last name but I don't take offense or get my panties in a wad about it. Did you even notice all the accolades being thrown his way? To me that's more significant than a simple unintentional misspelling. :Bam:

The MVC signed a 3 year deal with NBC Sports Chicago. 16 of the MVC's regular season games will be broadcasted on the network. The first two days of Arch Madness will also be broadcasted on there.

http://mvc-sports.com/news/2017/9/14/me ... ign=buffer

So which market will the MVC target next when we go to 12: Milwaukee (UWM), Tulsa (ORU), or Cincinnati (NKU)?

No way it is ORU. The Valley has been moving East in recent years, not West.

This is what happens even when an FCS team wins 5 National championships in a row. Theyre still not profitable.

This doesn't mean the athletic department has been in the red, however. It states in the article that sponsors put them in the black. Still, sad when you're a juggernaut and cant make money.


Football at NDSU is very profitable, same with men's hockey at UND. That article was poorly written, football donations from the booster group alone amount to almost $4 million and of that only $1.2 million is allocated back to football. The football program at NDSU pretty much funds every athletic scholarship at the school.

Wrong. It's not profitable. The boosters are lining the coffers. Still ends up in the same place but the origram itself is s red operating entity.

So are you saying that we should only play sports that are profitable?

Are you saying that NDSU should drop a sport that has an average attendance of 18,000 (more than 3 times what ILST got per basketball game last season)?

Maybe you and others on this board don't care about FCS football, but there are a lot of us that do.

FCS Football is not the problem. The problem is that the system in basketball is rigged. The big schools get all the at-large bids, all of the money, all of the exposure, etc.

I guess when Illinois State and Missouri State play each other today no one on this board will even care about the game right. Maybe that's the problem. The problem is that you don't care.

Football and men's basketball are by far the two biggest sports in the NCAA. If your school plays Division 1 footbal (even if it is FCS), go support the program and the student athletes that are representing your school. Same with men's basketball.

Even though its rigged, its still a better opportunity in basketball because they all play for the same thing. That's not so in football. That means opportunity and exposure are higher in basketball (unless you pull off a crazy 5 national titles in a row in football like you're the new UCLA or UConn). My initial point was that even thought NDSU did pull off one of those unthinkable runs the program is still in the red if it wasn't for boosters. That wouldn't be the case in FBS or basketball. FCS football is pointless. Sure, its fun and I love my 'Birds, but its pointless. From a financial standpoint its just not smart, either. But, football is so engrained into American society its hanging around. That may not always be the case with all the recent research...at least at an FCS level and lower.
