1. Read the title of this thread. 2. UND was considered for membership, is still thrown around by other people as a possible member, and we could very well have our swimming & diving and baseball teams in the league in the near future. 3. It is the closest league to UND and has many members that UND has past history with between the NCC and WCHA. 4. We are constantly reminded what an amazing league the Summit is. We just want to take notes on how to form such a great league.

The Big East catholic schools have made their departure official. They did not persue dissolving the Big East and will just leave to form a new conference in 2015. They will likely add additional schools such as Xavier, Butler, Creighton, etc. to get to 10 or even 12. The remaining Big East FBS schools are going to have to add additional schools to turn what remains into a full fledged olympic conference. These are both going to send waves through the conference realignment, too. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if this doesn't make its way down to the Summit.

And I may win the lottery some day. But the chances are pretty slim. I'm guessing those "We Want Bama" signs that were in the crowd tonight will still make their way to Frisco.

Fargo U going back to Frisco.

Blocked.

GSU is going to have a soccer player who joined the team 2 days ago try a 50 yard field goal to tie the game!

I thought that when hosting an NCAA tournament game, sites were supposed to attempt to provide a neutral atmosphere, including the PA announcer.

No, he doesn't.

There is a possibility that we could hear something today (wednesday). It appears UNC will be joining the WAC as a baseball affiliate. I guess we will see if UND is also invited.

The recruiting wiki page has everything organized like that. And there are a few posters on here who keep it very updated.

The article was updated just a few minutes after I posted it. It appears that the speculation over the last few years by fans is looking more and more like what the Catholic schools are interested in doing. The bball schools are not happy about the new members that are going to be added. Apparently the addition of Tulane was the final straw.

The rumors of the Big LEast non-football schools breaking away have always just been talk by college sports fans. But it appears that there may finally be a sliver of truth behind it. Big East fate vexes Catholic schools

I understand we will always have games against lower level competition. But Crown College? Presentation College? Come on, are these the best we can come up with?

As long as FU's D continues to play like they have been, it is going to be hard for anybody to beat them. At this point it looks like the Championship is FU's defense to lose. The banner they will receive for that championship, however, is the NCAA's to lose.

You have had optimism in the past? Sure fooled me.

We aren't even trying for rebounds at this point.

UND 39 FU 56 7:33

They are killing us with the 3 this half. The few times we have scored in the 2nd, FU has answered with a 3.

Our offense is dead right now.

FU has found their rhythm. They are starting to play well. UND looking pretty ugly at this point. Doesn't look good. FU now up by 12.

Bjorklund with 3 fouls. On the bench at the moment. It would be good if we could draw a few more fouls on their top players to get them in trouble early in the 2nd.

You nailed it. We need to step up on the boards and pull down some rebounds. On a side note, I know this is a FU home game and that Midco covers the Summit League, but I'm surprised they don't have Dan Hammer helping cover the game. I kind of assumed it would be Hammer and one of the broadcasters from Sioux Falls that covers the Summit. I wonder if FU requested this when they agreed to let Midco broadcast the game.

And EWU took it right back. ISU 35 EWU 51 7:42 left.

Wow, ISU really stole the momentum back at the end of the 3rd.

EWU got an interception and took it back to ISU's 17 then scored on the very next play. 2 TDs in :15 seconds. ISU 17 EWU 38
