    Not sure what to read into the fact that a '98 just committed to UAF, but here's his announcement:

    • Even if the Alaska schools survive
      the next couple of years, they very well could be without a conference in 2021 after more possible realignment. Could they survive as independent teams?

        So this happened...

        Might be a little late to save the schools though.

        Maybe next time DON'T elect an ******* governor...

            In spite of the family-friendly Google Adsense asterisks, I think I was able to decode that message in its entirety.

              Here in Massachusetts there was a recall election for the Mayor of Fall River. The recall vote was held simultaneously with a vote for the next mayor (if he was recalled). The mayor ran along with four other candidates. He was recalled with 61.45% of the vote, but was immediately re-elected on the second part of the ballet with 35.4% of the vote.

              If they do hold a recall vote in Alaska what are the rules? Will Dunleavy be allowed to run for the office if he is recalled?

                Probably not.

                Their only driving factor in getting teams to visit them is either bribery (not making as much money on a home series) or the exemption.

                I’m pretty sure the latter isn’t a hugely valuable carrot to dangle, otherwise they’d have already been able to get quality non conference schedules in the current or previous alignment.

                  No. If he’s recalled the Lite Gov (Kevin Meyer) becomes Governor.

                    This guy has to go and then we are saddled with an oil company shill.
                    That guy represents the oil companies not the State of Alaska.
                    If we simply quit paying the oil companies to take our oil the whole money problem would be solved.
                    Trickle down did not work here and it hasn't worked ever, anytime its been scammed onto people.

                      Wouldn’t be the first time and it won’t be the last time, either.

                      Elections (and votes) matter.

                      As far as U of A goes, the damage has already been done regardless whether or not that simpleton gets shown the door.

                          The best way forward is to get parties together from UAA and UAF to make up a new mascot. Each gets an alumni rep, athletic director rep, a student rep, and a few other ones and chart a new mascot.

                            I was looking at Alaska news. The Chancellor of UA-S (Juneau) Richard Caulfield said that this transition to the single accreditation model will take years:
                            "What the new UA would look like is not yet defined. The regent’s vote was for UA President Jim Johnsen to begin drafting a plan that will be presented at the next regent’s meeting in September... The transition process will take time, several years at least, but Johnsen intends to work “expeditiously” on the process."
                            https://www.juneauempire.com/news/ch...ffs-are-ahead/

                            The Anchorage Daily News posted an article with the headline: "As University of Alaska moves toward consolidation, two athletic programs are likely to become one."
                            [quoting the article:] (UA system President Jim) Johnsen and the regents will also have to address how many sports survive. If the university opts for 10 sports — the minimum requirement for NCAA Division II membership — expect a debate over what survives and what doesn’t. Another hard decision will come if the university can’t put some sports in Fairbanks and some in Anchorage, either because of NCAA rules or too many duplicated costs. Johnsen said a variety of factors will be considered if it comes down to deciding whether Fairbanks gets college sports or Anchorage does. “Off the top of my head: enrollment, tradition, philanthropic support, fan base. We’d look at the facility availability and look at the conference factor." The idea of dropping to the Division III level — which doesn’t allow athletic scholarships — or moving to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has been tossed around, Johnsen said, but hasn’t been discussed formally. Meanwhile, fall-semester sports like volleyball and cross country will begin practice at UAA and UAF later this month as scheduled. There is no travel freeze “at this point,” Johnsen said. Less certain is how athletics will fare in the spring semester, which begins in January. “I can’t commit to that at this point,” Johnsen said. A number of sports, including hockey and basketball, straddle the fall and spring semesters. Johnsen said he doesn’t think any sport would be eliminated once its season has begun. “Oh boy, I hope not,” he said.
