Kab Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Could ndsu football go FBs as an independent and try make a schedule without a conference? the forum boys are going to need to go on meds if other teams keep getting invites and not ndsu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 If NDSU went Indy FBS FB, who's going to bankroll teams to come in so they have a home schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always said if a football team goes FBs all other sports need to follow that team to the new conference what are the exit fees for mvfc and summit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 For a team to count as a member of an FBS conference you must be an all-sports member. A FB only doesn't count toward the 7 full members to be classified as an FBS conference. To be taken on as FB only you have to bring some other benefit like in Hawai'i's case you get to play an extra (assume home) game to pay for the trip.

AJS Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Love the St. Thomas addition. I do hope these leads to the Summit League absorbing the NCHC as well as a Summit League Football conference. That would be a big deal on multiple fronts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would another benefit be that it could motivate Mankato to finally move up for all sports? They are the best fit for the league, and they are perfect for the footprint. They also happen to have a great hockey program. I seriously wonder if SCSU will be able to continue sponsoring hockey at a high level given the institutional issues they have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxHawkGuy Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 So how long before the MAC schools go to the CCHA and Bemidji St and Minnesota St become Summit league hockey affiliates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 which im all for (8 schools)....less conference reptititive playing and sprinkle in some more non conference games against schools like michigan, maine, lowell, northeastern, bc, bu,......

What do bemidji and mankato add to the nchc/summit hockey. No thanks. Western is a solid program that adds a good recruiting area. If Miami wants to leave I don't see an issue with negotiating a lower exit fee. Keeping a non competitive program does the league no good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they moved up they would certainly drop football a la Omaha as the dollars aren't there. Summit is most likely to pick WAC carcass or be destroyed itself. The number of viable move ups at this point is very small. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Summit adds Hockey and Mankato, it would have the numbers in other sports so it wouldn't HAVE to take the Utah schools in order to survive. The league would be stable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
