nodakvindy Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 I can see an 8 week regular season, in September and October, Conference championships weekend of Halloween and then an 8 team playoff using the Big 6 Bowls. Quarterfinals Nov. 6-7 (one game Friday night and then Noon, 4 and 8 ET on Saturday), Semis on Nov 14 and FBS title on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. FCS could do the same but still have 16 team team playoff starting the week of FBS Conference championships. Still get a season in before flu season really kicks off. In all honesty it’s better for student athletes as well, although that is rarely a deciding factor for any decisions. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 What if:. the FCS season moves to spring? Most of FCS would probably go for it. They'd be more likihood that FCS actually gets a big TV contract. Schools that would not have it: The Montana's, SDSU, Weber St, and they work have to stay fall. The MVFC would be much more local climate dependent. Should UND go east or west.? . Quote
SiouxVolley Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Akron, for financial and other reasons, needs to move down to DII. But yet is contracts with FBS schools yield millions, as with Auburn fb and Ohio St fb or with the MAC. https://www.beaconjournal.com/sports/20200711/university-of-akron-suggested-change-in-division-status-could-prove-expensive-proposition?rssfeed=true Quote

Posted August 6, 2019 On 10/31/2017 at 12:45 PM, BisonCardinal said: I think UMKC coming back is realistic. UNO, I don't see going anywhere with Denver and UND as Summit members. Fort Wayne will probably go to Horizon. I also think WIU stays put. So now the Summit puts full court press on U of Northern Colorado. I'm really not too concerned with baseball compliance as the Summit just coming up with a "plan" will satisfy the NCAA for a couple years, but getting UNC would also help with Summit football, if that happens. Although SV's DMI conference has its merits, I just don't see it happening primarily because of non-revenue sports. Hard to justify flying all those sports west, when busing south is a lot cheaper. UMKC - coming back - check UNO - staying put - check Fort Wayne - leaving - check WIU - staying put - check UNC - ???? SV's take that the Summit is in crisis because of baseball is an exaggeration. The NCAA does not give a crap about the smaller leagues like the Summit, Big Sky and Horizon. All the Summit has to do is present a plan for a couple years here and then another one a couple years later of getting back to the proper number and the NCAA says whatever. Kind of like the attendance requirement. Nailed it. St Thomas having baseball is a bonus. We will be lucky to have St Thomas in the Summit for very long. I see them emphasizing basketball to move them into becoming a Big East candidate. That conference would crave a MSP presence. I really don't see them pushing football very hard. They will be content in the Pioneer like other basketball schools like Butler, Drake and Valpo. A suitable basketball facility already exists or can be built for 25% of a new football facility. I am doing some thinking on the MVFC and Summit football situation. For some reason I think that football will break along the lines of those that can consistently put 10,000 butts in the seats and those that can't. I see the MVFC as the conference that will be able to stack teams in the 75 scholarship level with teams like NDSU, SDSU, UND, USD, UNI, and Ill State, while the Summit will sponsor less than 75 scollies with teams like Ind. State, WIU, SIU, etc. Honestly, I don't see much happening until Viverito retires. I don't see her pushing for a new division or conference in her waning years. Quote

On UST: I certainly hope that they can stay longer than the transition before going to greener pastures. Now with them being a transitioning member, are they allowed to play in the tournament in Sioux Falls if they qualify? ON UNC: I'm sure the people on the Griz boards would be thrilled in they left. (I'd take them over Augie) Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 We may need a new thread for this but the U of M announced that they are cutting 3 sports (Mens Tennis, Mens Gymnastics, and Mens Track and Field) and stand to lose up to $75 million this year. Quote
