    Horizon league would be awesome, but there is so many schools within 200-300 mile radius of all those schools that they tend to go south or east to get like opponent games and cut down on travel. 

    Geography is a definite challenge, but it's a league within relative proximity, simllar number of schools and competitive.  MVC would be great, but I think they would only see downside despite the Summit schools obviously carrying the football league. With stability, there is no reason Summit basketball can't approach the Missouri Valley.

    IMO, I think you will see the Summit league do something to get rid of some the Non D1 games.. whether that's doing more conference "clashes" or mandating only 2 non d1 games.. etc.. I think we will see something like that moving forward. 

    I think some type of Summit League day/weekend in Kansas City with games at both the T-Mobile Center and the Memorial Auditorium.  Turn it into a real early season event with almost a festival type atmosphere.  Let each school play a game in each venue.  The Hoops junkies can watch games all day, the casual fans can see their team and then go for some BBQ.  Summit-Big Sky challenge is a good start, maybe similar with the Horizon League or WAC.

    But as you say, "seems pretty standard"; thus, is it really a problem or the de facto new standard.

    It is a problem if the Summit League as a whole is trying to move up the conference RPI/NET food chain.  It should be a goal to get an at-large at some point, having that many non-DI games is a problem.  Although the way football is going, March Madness may not be a thing in 10 years.

    Michigan would not leave the B1G.

    Too. Much. Money. 

    Not without a plan they wouldn't.  But this could be a catalyst for a 20-30 school super league free of the NCAA.  And with NIL and student free agency, there aren't really rules anymore anyway, so this could be an opportunity to shed the Purdues, Vanderbilts, Northwesterns, Wake Forests etc. in much the same way that the PAC 2 have been unceremoniously dropped.  There is supposedly venture capital money that can make it a reality tomorrow and Michigan law grads can get them out of any contracts (and might be able to extract ACC schools as well).  Would create a de facto national college league and render almost everyone else worthless TV wise, except for local deals.

    Yes, and USD also left 7 on the field with the fumble at the goalline.

    But that wouldn't have happened without the roughing the passer penalty. Woulda coulda,, should. It's 10-0, gotta build on that, making right adjustments in 2nd half.
