I'm not really sure all that necessary that is anymore, now that the requirements for team sport sponsorships changed.

need core members where you aren't replacing affiliates every year. delaware could jump anytime..anywhere

mvfc, summit, ncha=summit or rebrand it new.  

1 conference. 1 streaming platform

My point is just that it's not as dire of a situation anymore,  because the Summit will no longer need soccer in order to keep it's basketball autobid.  That would only affect M soccer.

When tOSU admits they're spending too much on athletics what's it mean for everyone else? 

If you can't "gate" (meaning turnstile, media contracts) your expenses I'd say be wary in this new world of college athletics.

House of cards. The Big XFL will probably start pruning the dead wood soon.  College sports are on life support.

The best teams getting poached by the PAC-2. big question now is if the MWC backfills or remains with the same teams. Do the Montana’s make a pitch?

For the first time since conference realignment started it feels like the next moves could really hit close to home. Don't feel good about it. It would be devastating for UND if they get left behind.

UND should be the first into the Mountain West and lead the way.

I agree. But don't count on it.

[andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!]

The long term implications of this decision are massive and it cannot be messed up as the choice was the last time UND faced this decision in the D2 days.

And USD. Leave xdsu’s in FCS to collect trophies.

Embellishment is never a good idea.

[andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!]

If they are going FBS, UND better get the announcement out first.

I am on their X feed right now, and that tweet must have been deleted.

Could see PAC? also added Air Force and UNLV, that would take the MWC down to 5 and they could fortify by adding 7 (Montana, Dakotas and Idaho).  I think Davis could jump to the PAC if they wanted to.  Academic cred is there and would jump them a lot closer atheletically to their sibling schools in Cal and UCLA
