While NDSU maintains Tim Polasek's $1.16 million salary and other expenses associated with a move up in conference will be largely "externally funded," one lawmaker wants "receipts." inforum.com/news/fargo/nds…


I don’t think segregating the G6 helps media partners OR G6 brands. Outside of North Dakota State, most casual CFB fans couldn’t tell you the last 3 FCS champions. People engage with things that involve their teams/conferences. FCS Championship viewership is poor imo. American championship had 2.4 million. FCS Championship 2.3 million. One game had a CFP spot on the line and was relevant to all FBS fans, the other was a national championship for a separate division. Realistically, 24-team model gives G6 at least 2 auto bids. CFB NIT could be 8 teams with 4 other G6 champs, 4 at-large. Champs get home-field advantage and higher seed.



Traveling out of ND always surprises me when I see the fast food, retail etc. workers being overall noticeably friendlier, more competent and just overall better at the job than what I’m used to. My knee jerk reaction is that something’s wrong back home. But then I remember/realize that’s a clear sign of a difference in a strong/weak economy locally. Strong economies with super low unemployment mean the best, most personable people get pulled into higher-paying jobs. In places with higher unemployment, those same quality workers end up in retail and lower paying service roles. Random thoughts.
