The Summit League

Fanatics The world consists of many different types of fans. Baseball, hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball, wrestling, cross country, track, tennis, racing, and many more. However, football fans happen to be the most entertaining to watch and interesting to know. Football is a roller coaster of a sport and it brings its fans along for the ride. The best fans are the die-hard fans, the jaded fans, and the band-wagon fans. Die-hard fans make football games entertaining because of their crazy antics. Most North Dakota State University (NDSU) Bison fans are die-hard fans. Fans like this paint their faces green and gold, paint their chests green and gold, and dye their hair green and gold. A few even go as far as getting tattoos of their team mascot, Thundar, or the NDSU logo. License plates on their cars might say “#1FAN” or “GOBISON”.

Most people call them crazed fans; but everyone wants to sit by them. Die-hards cheer the loudest, and they know EVERY cheer. These fans don’t just do the cheers, they start them. As much as they love their team, they become devastated if their team loses. Many die-hards don’t understand what it is like to have their team lose. Over the last five years NDSU’s record has been an impressive 66 wins and only 5 losses. Obviously, Bison fans are…

The Calvin Knights football team has been undefeated since 1879. How is this spectacular feat possible? It has to do with the fact that Calvin does not actually have a football team. And I for one, believe it should stay that way. Despite the many sports fans at Calvin who crave one of America’s favorite past times, the school has yet to assemble a team. Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

Under the current bylaws of the NFL, no team can sell stock or public ownership in their franchise. Unless you are the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are the only team permitted to sell stock, because they were already selling stock before the NFL implemented the rule against it. This creates an enormous unfair advantage to the Packers over their competition in the NFL, and rule change needs to occur (Lariviere, 2011). The Packers have only publically sold shares of stock five times in the…

Are Athletes Overpaid? Lots of people say that athletes are overpaid, but is that really true? In reality, athletes earn what they deserve because they bring billions of dollars to their respective league, work hard in matters not involving their sport, find a way to manage all their money that they receive in a short time, and they work hard away from games to become better. First of all, athletes are not overpaid because of all the revenue they bring to the different leagues. The SIRS…
