I'd be interested to see what these self-proclaimed "message board lawyers" have to say. When making an assertion that contradicts the actual official manual of the NCAA, you think it would be simple enough to back up your claim and actually give a little bit more credibility to your theories. There is not a real key word for the search. It might take days to search and read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this. You sure it's all D3's? "AN" institution.... is this specifically about St. Thomas? "Review of Reclassification Process. (Fairness/Well-Being/Operational) The Strategic Vision and Planning Committee will continue to discuss whether an institution should have an opportunity to reclassify from Division III to Division I, without first requiring that institution be a Division II member, noting the importance of ensuring preparedness for Division I membership."

Would expect UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs to want to go DI now. 19,000 students and just moved their basketball to a new arena in downtown Santa Cruz, the time seems right. UT Dallas with 16,000 students is also possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 While not near term, Texas A&M San Antonio was just started and has like 5000 students, but is projected to grow to 50000. It’s starting an athletic program right now at the NAIA level but will go DI eventually. Schools like Sam Houston St, Lamar, Texas Arlington, Texas -Dallas and others need to have move up athletically to to raise their visibilities. http://www.tamusa.edu/documents/master-plan-trifold.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humboldt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Interesting take on the addition of Augustana. I think they would be a horrible add. There have to be several schools in MN or WI that want to jump up to Division 1 that are more qualified. But, the Summit League is in the tank for Augie. https://letsgodu.com/2019/08/13/cozy-summit-league-relationships-cast-dark-shadow-over-augustana/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yote 53 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Interesting is the quote by USD AD Dave Herbster. Went on record as saying that as of right now Augustana would be a "No" as not enough of the league schools know enough about them, that they haven't really been vetted. Shocking in that USD, SDSU, NDSU, UND, and UNO know all about Augustana, there is nothing unfamiliar about them. They've been all over the newspapers about this move to D1. NCAA is a small world, how could the Summit schools NOT know about Augustana and their aspirations, errrr Sanford's aspirations? Herbie went out on a limb with that quote, in my opinion. He is a very calculated and measured guy too. That wasn't off the cuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydj282 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Augies not in the Summit unless they get enough presidents on board. So far there has been an orderly change of Summit membership. I dont know if Augie is included in future plans to replace a departing member but its very possible Augie may be the last hope. Of course the South Dakota Schools, especially USD, are concerned about splitting the pie. USD is the weak sister and if the pie can't grow would certrainly be hurt the most. It could be viewed just as much of an extistential crises for the Summit as it is for USD. Augie may find them a perfect D1 foil. The games in Sioux Falls would be huge. They may both end up needing each other to survive. The funny thing is Augie is already competing with those schools for players, corporate dollars and fans. Augie has a presence in Sioux Falls and USD is probably a bit worried about their ability to compete if Augie improves their profile. SDSU and NDSU will be just fine. Both have footprints far greater than the sourrounding communities. Both have the potential to move on and both are key to the Summit and MVFC futures. Of course its the UxDs that have the biggest worry. All of the Dakota schools would trade some ridiculous out of conference guarantee home game of little or no interest for a profitable conference game within easy distance of all fans. Augie is a founding member of the old NCC just like St. Thomas, NDSU, SDSU, UND, USD, and UNI. They belong. They bring baseball, but that probably won't sooth the huge egos that think Augie is beneath them or quiet the fear some are expressing. If they are ready take them in.

You've been over to the USD board enough to know that everything you just spewed about USD is pure nonsense. Seriously, you have no clue. It's time for you to recalculate your GAM as it is giving you some faulty results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, UND has a huge fan base in Sioux Falls that will migrate over to Augie if/when they join a Division I conference. No, wait, that sounds more like a South Dakota issue, that a UND one. You sound an awful lot like someone who used to go under the moniker JBB. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the GAM reference in other threads that gives him away. Known as aldewitt over on the USD board. Provides good content and game analysis over on the USD board but has to constantly be warned about his negative posts running down UND and the hockey program and how UND is going broke, etc. So I guess he comes over to the UND board to run down USD now. So JBB = aldweitt = Boydj282. Got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 SDSU AD has a much more positive view of Augustana. Can almost smell the Sanford $$. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydj282 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I believe many UND fans feel Augie is beneath the Summit that most don’t seem to have a high regard for anyway. USD on the other hand realizes Augie is a real challenge for them, if not an existential threat. They use the Augie profile argument to cover the fact they feel there isn’t enough room for another SD school. Augie is in better shape now than 30 years ago when they were also the smallest. If they have the money let them in I see Augie as I always saw Augie. They are a charter member. The others are St. Thomas, NDSU, SDSU, USD &UNI. There are six solid members, 7 with UMKC that will stabilize the Summit for a long time to come keep it regional for the fans provide great competition Augie and St. Thomas could be 2 Summit non scholarship football teams. There are other likely suspects in the league too. It looks like it’s turning out the Summit is the NCC 2. Our past is our future. We have no place else to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ok with letting Augie in...with one condition. Sanford has given the other Dakota schools at least $10 million.

Yote 53 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Augustana was not a charter member of the NCC. They didn't join until the 1940's. One of the many things you were incorrect about in your post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 NC A&T is considering going FBS, and they have only a budget of $13.7 million in 2017 dollars. https://mobile.twitter.com/JEPopeIV/status/1162551513165783041 https://mobile.twitter.com/stevenjgaither So some schools can’t even consider FBS if their budget are almost triple that? NC A&T’s fb stadium seats 21,000, so FBS is at least possible with that seating, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There is further confirmation that NC A&T is exploring an FBS slot. As noted earlier, it could make sense if a new league, probably the ASun, gets 8 FBS teams and declares itself an FBS conference before the new CFB contract. Then it would partake in the CFP payout to the tune of more than $10 mill per year. Independents get much less than conference teams, except Notre Dame. https://thespun.com/college-football/north-carolina-at-aggies-football-fbs There will be a mass of FCS to FBS before 2025 as it makes financial sense.
