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?

Actually it was the SU's the Big Sky didn't want, they offered full membership for USD.
Maybe the reason that UND had to move to the Summit/MVFC is because NDSU could not get in the Big Sky.

Now can you answer my question that you ignored? What are you basing your answer on that NDSU is further ahead of this than people think?

Also I think most people will admit, it is easy to let up or overlook somebody when you are playing a team at a level lower than you. For NDSU it's their Super Bowl when they play Iowa, while Iowa is looking at it as just a ho hum type of game. It still has been impressive what NDSU has done against the FBS....not taking that away. But I doubt Iowa had the same fire in their belly they had going up against NDSU....as they did when they played Michigan. In my opinion that helps the upper FCS teams get some of those upsets against FBS teams. Let's hope for some more FCS upsets over FBS this fall!
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?
-
This brings a couple of questions to mind...
who is leaving the MVFC? Youngstown? Missouri State?
does this mean that New Mexico State will be following Idaho to FCS and the Big Sky?
will UND joining the Summit mean long-term stability had finally been achieved by the revolving door conference?

The vast majority here is interesting.
Just bored with the talking point that one side has an inferiority complex or superiority complex or one side misses the other more than the other side misses them etc, etc, etc. It gets rolled out by UND and NDSU fans alike.
Its more than possible to be interested without being obsessed and to be have an opinion on an outcome without "missing" the other school.
For me, it's akin to an NDSU fan saying UND "followed" NDSU into division I. It's a lazy and childish thing to say and holds no merit.
Wow, Guess you missed the point of my original post. Nothing about inferiority. Acknowledged that both sides have fans who want to see the schools reunited in a conference.
point was that Sica put forth a spin on SV's theory that might actually make sense. And my belief that both teams would end up in an FBS WAC, if that ever came to happen.
Personally, I think Cal Baptist joining the WAC shoots a huge hole in SV's idea, but wanted to tip the cap to Sica that he had a theory that made a little light shine through.

So if I have an objective view that UND and it's fanbase would be best served by having traditional rivals on their schedule who are significantly closer for their core fanbase to be able to travel to away games, significantly closer for parents of players to be able to travel to away games in many cases, all while saving UND money on travel costs, that means I miss UND?
What a boring narrative, get past it.
If you are bored, you don't have to come to SS and read it.
there are several/many UND fans who agree with you, I'm just not one of them

... Summit and MVFC would be the best option IMO.
This is a common theme among bison posters. It seems that NDSU misses UND more than most of them admit. (Though, yes, some do admit it, as do many UND fans)
if SV's prediction about the FBS WAC come to fruition, their desire to reunite with UND will be through the new WAC.
Sica's break-down of Cal Baptist's entry into the WAC notwithstanding, their entry into the WAC is the biggest fly in SV's ointment. Just can't reconcile that one. But to offset the potential loss of Chicago State does make sense, at least as Sica illustrates the scenario.
would really hate to see the Montanas and NDSU move to FBS and leave UND behind (again).

Wonder if it was the same as the committee to investigate dropping sports. Pres Kennedy asked for the information to make a decision whether to drop sports and then nothing happened. Did he ask Faison to get the facts to make a decision about conferences and the conclusion is to remain in the Big Sky, like the decision to keep all existing sports? It would make sense that he wanted to 'get up to speed' on the athletics situation before making decisions to drop or not drop sports and likewise to change or not change conferences. Maybe the costs of the two conferences is close enough so that a change is not warranted.
