Judging by a strong engagement from Thursday's 90-minute Happy Hour interview with South Dakota State athletic director Justin Sell, there is high interest from both Jackrabbit fans and all FCS and mid-major enthusiasts in SDSU's decision to "opt in" or not opt in to the House Settlement that allows colleges to pay student athlets directly.

What were the key things Sell said that may be hints to where the Jacks are leaning?

Almost as importantly, after rivals South Dakota and Montana State have announced they are "opting in," what would be the consequence of not opting in, which was SDSU's lean until Thursday, when Sell told us they were reconsidering? 

Hear what plugged-in veteran coach and prep academy director Kurtiss Riggs would recommend simply from a recruiting standpoint, and John's view of SDSU's risk of becoming "the FCS Clemson" should they not opt in.

Plus, the Minnesota Twins and Sioux Falls Canaries both kept singing the same tune over the weekend. The Brewers swept the Twins in Minneapolis for the first time in almost 30 years, while the Canaries swept Fargo-Moorhead to boost their record to the third best in the American Association of Professional Baseball.

But while the Birds are top 3 in record and the undisputed top hitting and scoring team in the league, they are second-to-last in attendance. Why? John wants to you tell him. Email him at [email protected] or send a direct tweet to @johnkgaskins.
