Yes. The only real option for SDSU would be the MVC and a non-Wichita MVC is not really a step up. WSU leaves and expect UNI and Illinois State, and possibly Indiana State to begin searching for a new league. Amazing as it sounds, with the addition of UND the Summit is more stable right now than the MVC.
Thank you for your insights jacksfan29

I'll answer from an outside perspective.
Even if they had the money NDSU has no place to go. They will not join as an Independent. The Sun Belt is now a regional conference who like their current footprint. Much like Idaho, NDSU is way outside of that footprint. The MWC wants nothing to do with FCS move ups. They want UTEP, Rice or UT San Antonio. Even NMSU have a better shot at the MWC than does NDSU. They would be 5th in line for the MAC. James Madison, Youngstown, UNI, Illinois State would be the top 4 FCS schools the MAC would show interest in.
JMU and YSU have both discussed FBS in the past. UNI has ties to the MAC, plus the MAC is still a BB conference first and UNI is a BB school. Illinois State have mentioned FBS before though budget issues in Illinois will hold them back.
No matter what you read on BV, NDSU has no conference to move to. End of story. Your rival to the south is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Would you say the same about SDSU?

So this is a stupid question, but I gotta ask...
does UND joining the Summit/MVFC make NDSU more or less likely to seek FBS status?
-
Well, there was the year that U Florida won both FBS and men's basketball notional championships (2006-2007?) Don't know how their women's teams did, though.

Don't take me the wrong way here, I'm hoping MBB & WBB win the Big Sky and we get the four conference titles like mentioned, that would be great, but we're still the reigning MH NC! A Great past 11 months if this works out in BB this weekend.
You are technically correct.
should have said during 2016-17 school year

Agreed!
merely meeting the mandated $1.3 MM cut does not do anything to increase funding resources for those teams that remain (that Kennedy wants to be competitive)

Back in 1999, there was a measure on the ballot to take the names of the colleges and universities out of the Constitution, presumably to make it easier to shut down campuses. It was voted down big time (80-20 or something like that). That is why the Legislature won't go there; the people have said HELL NO to shutting down campuses.

Yeah, forgot about that constitutional thing. 1889 political back-scratching...

Any guesses how much of a deficit they run?
Burgum has the mandate, doesn't he?

Women's hockey: ... 808 average attendance (4th in the nation)
This must be why there will be a national outcry if women's hockey is dropped

Can anyone explain why Mayville and Valley City are still open?

Two thoughts.. (not that I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night or anything)
Summit League sponsors S & D, softball and soccer
the WIH season will likely be finished as this date hits (and it sounds like the coach's contract is expiring as well)
Don't know if there is a connection or if there is a coincidence
on the other hand, if there is any basis to the UND to B1G hockey conference rumor and the possibility of a Women's B1G hockey, WIH might be both safe and a key to the invitation.

The Men's and Women's basketball teams control their own destiny now. Keep winning and they both win the Big Sky Conferences Championships. Our Volleyball team won the Big Sky. Our Football team won the Big Sky. How cool would it be to have UND win the 4 major sports championships in the Big Sky in the same year. It wouldn't take a miracle. It can happen. Go UND.
Looks like this prophecy is materializing
And no hockey titles.

Half of that amount would pay the NCHC exit fee. (a one-time cost) Just sayin...
a little over half that would cover the budget cut.
-
UND being included in discussions about B1G schools 14 times a year (home/away) would raise the profile of the school. Being mentioned in the same sportscasts as Penn State or Ohio State will bring more prestige than being included with Youngstown in football reports or Ft Wayne in basketball. The collateral benefit of the B1G is much greater than Summit/MVFC. Can't imagine that Kennedy would say No if the opportunity would present itself.

Watching your rival have unprecedented success and win over most of the state's support will make an administration change their tune pretty quick.
Unless your initials are BF. Then it can take a while.

Better defense, better rebounding, and much more consistent. Plus, they are scoring a ton of points.
I have never been a fan of his and am not going to say I was wrong for questioning his ability. But, this year he seems to have taken the next step with this team.
Will it translate to making the Big Sky Championship game and possibly winning it and going to The Dance? We'll see. I sure hope so cause this team is playing great.

Finally got the stream going with a minute left in first half. Now that I came back to ss, probably won't be able to gem the stream back.
on another note, the ladies are having a tough time with the Vandals.

While still keeping the minimum to stay in the Summet. Plus we'll have MH WH FB.
Are you sure about this one?

Still wondering who is leaving the MVFC. Specifically - can't imagine Youngstown is ok with adding another Dakota school. Is it possible they believe they are finally getting an invite to the Ohio Valley Conference?

UND to Summit/MVFC
in NCAA News
Posted
Don't think it was the Summit that took so long. They would have taken UND anytime over that last 5 years. It was the lack of a football home in the MVFC that took so long.
