That article does nothing to dispel "Sioux Volley's" theory. We all agree that the rules state that the Big Sky can't create it's own FBS conference. The theory states that a few teams can join an existing FBS conference (ie Sunbelt) and then later split ( and call it whatever they want.) The end game is the same, but the steps to get there are different than what the CAA was trying to do. Again, most everyone agrees that it won't happen, but in theory, it could.

And you fail to realize that no one here is arguing with you about the likelihood of it happening. They are pointing out that, as the rules are currently written, it is plausible...even if highly unlikely. There's only been one poster who truly believes it's going to happen. The rest are just pointing out the fact that it could be done as the rules are currently written. You, nor does anyone else, have any idea what the "oversight" committee will do...you're just assuming what they will do...

Jordan Hinojosa??? Sunshine state?

Looks like we are adding a JUCO WR... SiouxFootballInsider @SiouxFootball · 15m Hearing #UND is in the process of signing a JUCO WR from California. More to follow shortly. #BubbaBall

Why bulk truck hasn't been banned yet is beyond me. He/she is the definition of a troll. Doesn't post on topic and is only here to stir the pot.

I agree with this to a certain degree. It all depends if the Big 10 wants to become the premier hockey conference or not. The schools and conference certainly have the money and resources to do it but I think there content with where they currently are. If they choose to focus on hockey and dump millions of $$ in to their programs, then they definitely have the potential to be the premier conference in hockey.

Fullerton said the league is always considering expansion for the 12-team league (13 for football). “There are some schools out there that we monitor,” he said. “And if we’re ever able to create that merger piece, I think we might get to 16 schools.” In the above excerpt from the Herald article, Fullerton says "if we're ever able to complete that merger piece, I think we might be able to get to 16 schools." What merger piece is he referring to? Is it SiouxVolley's theory on the Sunbelt? Is he looking at a merger with another FCS conference? Am I reading to much into that comment?

Supposedly the owners of Rhombus Guys are pretty close to opening one up in the old Opera house in town.

Lunatic Fringe is a good song. As far as describing posters on this site or bisonville, a more accurate term would be "fans" derived from "fanatic." If you don't like what fans (or as you call them, lunatic fringe) have to say, then why visit either "fan" site? What's your endgame?

My personal feeling is that "bulk truck" uses the term "lunatic fringe" way too often. Must be a big fan of Red Rider...or a card carrying member of the lunatic fringe...

UNO, Creighton? Unless they don't count because no football.

Wayne Nelson had a tweet that Varner has transferred to Rocky Mountain Community College.

Would rather be the Yale from 2013...

Miami is hosting the regional.

Isn't that basically what Siouxvolley is saying the Big Sky plan is? Take out NDSU, USD, SDSU, and add PSU, Poly, or Davis. If (and it's a big if) the Big Sky Plan does come to fruition, I would guess that the other Dakota schools, would eventually have a chance to join as well.

According to a report on twitter, USD is giving Craig Smith $185,000/year.

Wichita State actually lost to Kentucky. Memphis lost to Virginia.

Do you have a sports pack/espn full court? It says I have to pay $16.

Anyone have it on directv? I can get it on espn full court, channel 722 but it costs $16.

As if now who do you think all the little kids in ND are idolizing and dreaming about playing for basketball or football for, UND or NDSU? Just think what it will be like if the Bison win today?

Plus our RPI just went up a bit! :-)

Well I predict Bville will be crashing soon meaning we will be seeing quite a few of their fans coming over here...that stinks.

Haha, whoops. Yes, meant to say objective.

Why do you always have post ignorant stuff? Give NDSU credit, they have a good team and are playing a heck of a ball game. I hate the Bison as much as any other UND fan, but can at least be objectionable.

It's kind of fun reading this thread to see where Sioux fans are from and where they've traveled to watch their favorite team. Figure I will share mine, not to refute "Hockey1's" post, but just share the trips I've been on over the years. I live in GF and have seen the Sioux play at Yale, Princeton, Madison (a few times), Duluth, St. Cloud ( a few times), Mankato (a few times), Denver, Omaha (Indoor and outdoor game), Milwaukee (Frozen Four), St. Louis (Frozen Four), St. Paul (Frozen Four), and several Final Fives at the X. Even when I was out east, there were many Sioux fans in attendance. At Princeton, Sioux fans easily outnumbered Tiger fans. We're everywhere!
