    No, hotbed, or not, Wichita State will have a whole lot of competition from better established nearby schools. They're unlikely to get more than table scraps

    .

     

    with this kind of mindset you might want to send an email to these schools to close up shop and drop fb totally

    Yes, SDSU has done remarkably well in FCS, better than might have been reasonably expected.. But many of the schools listed as part of this theoretical conference are also fairly recent DII move ups, and some of them were more successful at the DII level than was SDSU. If they have not had much success moving up to FCS, why would anyone assume that they will have more success moving to FBS?

     

    how many good fb players have come out of wichita in the couple of decades that they haven't had a fb team...wichita is a very large town right in the hotbed of fb recruiting...

    NMSU and Wichita St want and need more Texas presence for their enrollment and athletic presence.  Sam Houston St, Lamar and maybe Stephen F Austin see the WAC as their FBS ticket.

    agreed...that's why even in some of your predictions nmsu and wichita might be temps til sac state, portland state, or sdsu or ndac join later...i think you lose a few people when you start expanding into southern texas with utrv adn lamar and whatnot...a nice solid eight or ten or 12 team northern based like minded schools with or without fbs status is quite doable...

    that should wrap up this class for UND...last 3 high schools recruits signed had no competing D1 offers...With FCOA incentive was hoping to see an upgrade here.  

    so we are a d1 school with d2 talent and underpaid coaches...doesn't sound good

    Ugh.  Why 50%?

    bc when a conference gets to 16 a split/separation of some sort is more than likely to happen...find 8 (or 12) schools that have fb and and do a slow transition to fbs over a certain time period...

    maybe un-o and wichita do start fb with fcs and transtion to fbs with the wac

     

    und

    usd

    omaha

    wichita state

    montana

    montana state

    idaho

    nmsu

     

    maybe add in sac state, portland state, poly, and uc-davis and split east west

     

    und

    usd

    omaha

    wichita state

    montana

    montana state

    portland 

    sac state

  6. siouxvolley didn't make kenndey say "conference afiliation"

    so...

    a move to the slummit where there is no offer and hasnt been one in ten years....10% of happening or less

    a move to d2...less than .005% of happening or less

    so what does that really leave?

    a move to the  WAC (fbs or otherwise)...50% or more of happening

    Is it now? I used to be a cook there and they made the sauce at that time. The dough was still frozen though. 

    not sure...just taking a pot shot against those guys...probably do though to save a buck or two to pay off the debt at the brewery

    Here is all you need to know. If the Summit/ MVFC offer was given to UND today they would accept it on the spot. If the BSC offered NDSU, even with FBS football, they would say thanks but no thanks. We all know which conference setup is superior for a team in the Dakotas. UND fans just don't want to admit it.

    is that same big sky conference the ndac were begging to get into a few years back???

    Welcome to the Summit League! You guys like to complain about it relentlessly, but the only somewhat legitimate gripe I've seen is the questionable stability. However UND joining would create a conference core of the 5 schools along I-29 with increased stability moving forward. You'll probably be able to keep your football in the Big Sky but for all other sports you'll enjoy greatly reduced travel costs, natural rivalries, a higher conference RPI, road games you can attend without taking a flight, plus a basketball conference tournament that is less than half the trip that you have to your nearest Big Sky opponent. You won't be able to hide from NDSU anymore, but I assure you the pros greatly outweigh all the cons of the Big Sky.
