Conference Realignments - Take 2


The Sicatoka

Recommended Posts

Omaha made the moves to position themselves for Wichita State's MVC slot:

- no football
- better media market (gets the MVC back into Omaha after Creighton left)

The other option, honestly, would be Denver (again, no football and media market; distance is DU's downfall)

Idaho thinks they are trying out for the Mountain West right now.:lol:

I am surprised that Idaho has only had 4 years ever that they were good at football. I'm hoping that Idaho get beaten badly when they join the Big Sky just to prove that they never belonged in the FBS.

Could be something or could be nothing (like a mobile app) but WAC conference has a "important announcement" to make later today. 

They've hired Sioux Volley as a Midwest recruiter.

Press conference at 5:30 on a Friday (mountain time even!), the time when news is released to get the smallest reaction possible? Nothing of significance is coming out of this.

5:30 on a Friday!?!  That's when you announce the commissioner has been fired and you're dealing with some accounting "irregularities."

Normally, you don't even have a press conference.  Just send out a quiet press release and turn off your phone til Monday.

It has been rumored for centuries that Cal Baptist was looking to add football but didn't want to play FCS.  The timing on this is perfect!

:cool:

Well, have often said that a  Cal Baptist move to DI was imminent.  This will make an easier swap for Idaho,  the Montanas, EWU Weber and UND in two months.    CBU, GCU, UVU, Bake and Seattle would be a good geographic fit for the rest of the remaining Big Sky.  At least CBU has a 6000 arena that should be soon done, unlike Sac St.

Get with the program, guys!!

And how exactly is UND going to afford to go FBS given the recent financial shortfalls in the athletic budget?
