In a couple of years when the MVC is a solid one bid league, the Shocker basketball credits run out, and that bisects with the P5/FBS split I predict there will be some upheaval for the Valley and the

We agree on something. Cool. The talk of GCU is scary. They are a for profit school who have already settled one, very large lawsuit accusing them of being a diploma mill, admitting and graduating peo

I'm of the opinion that NDSU's best fit for it's future is the Summit League, but thought I would look into your comment about the distances. Fargo to each member city in the MVC: Evansville

As expected, the following was voted to be effective today:

Division I membership requirements

The council also adopted changes to membership requirements for Football Bowl Subdivision schools that: 

  • Eliminate attendance requirements at FBS schools (effective immediately).
  • Increase the application fee for transitioning from FCS to FBS from $5,000 to $5 million (effective immediately).
  • Require all FBS programs to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across 16 sports, including football. FBS schools will also be required to fund 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million annually (effective August 2027).
    • For schools that begin transitioning to FBS in 2024-25 or later, requirements must be met by the conclusion of the transition process.

Eliminate attendance requirements at FBS schools (effective immediately). <- Works in UND's favor; Alerus capacity no longer an issue.

Increase the application fee for transitioning from FCS to FBS from $5,000 to $5 million (effective immediately). <- call @gfhockey; he'll cover it. Straight cash homie!  ;) 

Require all FBS programs to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across 16 sports, including football. <- UND doing that today. 

FBS schools will also be required to fund 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million annually (effective August 2027). <- Adding 22 scholarships for FBS (63 to 85) puts UND over 210; awarding $6M now, before the Alston Awards program. 

For schools that begin transitioning to FBS in 2024-25 or later, requirements must be met by the conclusion of the transition process.

Will these new requirements force any current FBS schools to drop down to FCS?

Ask me in August 2027 (like it says the effective date for existing members is). 

My guess? There are some low-budget southern schools that will struggle to do $6M in grants.

Considering they are currently separate entities, I don't think that will work all that well.
I'm sure Heather Weems probably wouldn't appreciate it either.

That being said, Fenton, Weems and Viverito will all be doing a panel at the UND Booster Luncheon Friday at the Memorial Union and taking questions. Seems like a good chance to get some of the answers you are looking for.

Did they say or imply anything of interest?  Interesting coincidence that they were all there during the same weekend.

UJ had applied to the NSIC (DII) and this is how the GPAC (NAIA) treats them. Ouch.

They should seriously look at forming a new D2 league with Minot, Mary, Black Hills State, SD Mines, Chadron, and MSU Billings.  Would cut down travel for all of them and be a more competitive environment with roughly similar schools.

There is potential for some major movement on the local small college landscape.  Could you see a league that looks like this at some point?

  1. Mary
  2. Minot
  3. Jamestown
  4. Hills
  5. Mines
  6. Chadron
  7. Dickinson (it's either this or the Frontier)
  8. Valley City (It's either this or the Frontier...which would be even worse for VC than Dicky)
  9. Dakota State (D2 ambitions)
  10. MSU Billings (Cut Travel - no football)
  11. BSC - (See new arena renderings and 4 year college ambitions)

This would put Mayville in a very bad spot, but I don't think they could swing a move up.  Heck, I'm very unsure that VC and even Dicky could.  But this is workable from a travel standpoint.  It'll be interesting to see if something like this happens or if the NSIC goes back to 16.  I'm not sure the Mankato's and Duluth's of the world will want to be in a conference with UJ.
