Wow, skippy, guess you really told me. Got some advice for ya: People that live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. You come on to this board with your back handed comments towards UND, and then wonder why some may be less than completely pleasant when responding to you. Are you really THAT obtuse?
As mentioned previously (and just above by UND92, 96), if UND does move then all the remaining members will have to decide what to do. Already the conference has had to go all the way to WA for associate members in football. They can rob from ths NSIC (maybe, if any would be interested) but it would result in a weakened NCC. I could see any of the following determining that the least undesirable option (should UND leave the NCC) would be joining a new DIAA NCC (in no particular order): SCSU, 'kato, UMD, NDSU, SDSU, UNO, USD, maybe even CSP.
Also, even if UND were to drop golf, do you think if that were the deciding criterion in order to join the BSC (I don't think they want us though, actually), that it couldn't be added at that time? With Ray Richards already in existence, I just don't think the program startup costs would be at all significant. How's that for common sense?
