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.
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.
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?
Not wanting to fuel the bison fan base any more than they already are, I doubt Iowa was looking past NDSU. Pretty confident they wanted to be the team that stopped NDSU's winning streak vs FBS.
The Big Sky again reaffirmed what a quality conference it is when they stood by their agreement of no exit fee, even though UND has only been a member for a handful of years. And by allowing UND to have a football home for two extra years.
Really like the Big Sky, but it has become a bit bloated for a 1 bid conference. A lot of that bloat does not compete for conference championships but does drag the RPI down. So is there ever a possibility of the Summit getting more than 1 bid to something like March madness?
