Self scheduling problems is exactly why we have district football. The Lake conference fell to five teams at one point because teams refused to schedule Eden Prairie to the point they did a home and home with a team from Winnipeg.

I don't think starting earlier would be popular at all for a number of reasons. It would mess up summer vacations for families. It would cause issues for kids who have summer jobs. Remember, we start school after labor day largely because of the resort industry lobby. And as pertains directly...

I have to think Buffalo would be growing. Still new construction out there.

But Wisconsin doesn't determine the class you play in for the playoffs until the playoffs are seeded. It's strange.

Pretty sure someone here mentioned a few months ago that the district doesn't allow transfers to Andover right now. I know for a long time Champlin Park was overcrowded - they used to have a bunch of temporary trailers there. I'm almost positive the Osseo district doesn't allow intra-district...

Anthracite with chrome helmets.

To other Anoka-Hennepin district schools? They're gaming the system then somehow. If they're open enrolling outside the district (Spring Lake Park, Centennial maybe?) that's fine.

Unless you're Minnetonka, who actively recruits students (not just athletes) to keep their schools full.

This. School districts don't have to allow intra-district transfers and many, if not most, do not. State law requires districts to allow open enrollment from OTHER districts unless the schools are full. There is no such requirement for school choice WITHIN a district.

The U has never sold authentic jerseys for football or hockey. Not sure why - Jersey collecting is a big enough thing now where I think there would be a market, even though authentics cost around $200.

Open enrollment is only a thing between school districts. Someone from Hopkins for example enrolling into Minnetonka. Open enrollment from outside a district can only be closed if the schools are deemed to be full. Wayzata is a case of this. Intra-district school choice is an entirely different...

Well, the Gear Daddies songs are largely about living in a depressing town, or about depressing people in said town so they don't really paint a great picture of Austin.

I guess part of it will depend on who drops down if three move up.

Same here, and it could result in an extremely subjective call deciding a game, which I don't like. That said, it seems that the rule interpretation change is more to dissuade coaches from trying to pull this in the future.

I think that was the case maybe 10-15 years ago, but FCS has really declined a lot. So many of the old powerhouses have moved up at this point. The MVFC (Dakota schools and UNI) and the Big Sky (Montana schools, Idaho, EWU) are the cream of the crop at this point with a severe dropoff after...

One had a full ride offer (four year guaranteed too) to play D2, and chose a partial to run track at St. Thomas. I don't think I would have turned down graduating college with no debt.

I have to say, taking my kid to the Quick Lane bowl last year was one of the most fun experiences we've had.

It's a tradeoff, like intentionally fouling at the end of a basketball game. Oregon was penalized.

The Dakota schools and Montana schools, for all their geographic disadvantages, are better options than another non-descript southern state university like Tarleton.

I think NMSU (who won an exciting 2OT game last night) is the last FBS team in the west not tied to one of the better conferences - every conference is better than CUSA. Rice would make some sense, yes. What would make more sense would be Stanford and Cal coming back to where they should be and...
