I used to really look forward to seeing box scores if not next day, following for sure, but we all know you need to be a Bison to be in the forum.

I've been trying to have a reliable site for scores, standings, etc. and I'm up begging for scores each night. A job that should take 3 hours (7:30p to 10:30p) on a weeknight tends to push until 1:00a or later just to ensure accuracy and having the scores posted. If you aren't going to get just the bare minimum (the final score) accurately reported...then good luck getting an accurate box score.
I help with score retrieval for MN and ND (http://www.minnesota-scores.net; http://www.northdakota-scores.net & here respectively)...MN is LIGHTYEARS ahead of ND in reporting scores. The issues are within the Class B realm as Class A does an outstanding job updating on their respective conference websites; and the issues mostly occur in VB, BBB/GBB & Base/Soft

Earlier deadlines coupled with fewer employees in the sports department reduce the likelihood of rural class B score making the morning paper. Gone are the days where a manager/statistician could call the 800 number and read the scorebook to a sports writer who typed it as it was read. You can just about forget about the fax machine anymore either. The best chance is to email a box score so the writer has to do little other than copy the email and paste it into the page layout. Get that in after 9:30 and it might be too late. That does not allow anyone much time, not for the coach/manager after the game, or the paper to meet press deadlines.

So, they must have it set up collect and display these stats. Why aren't schools using it?
