Conference Realignments - Take 2

[bincitysioux]

PAC-12 is only at 8 FB teams.  One would think they HAVE to keep adding in the coming years.

I would think UNLV & UTEP would be most likely targets. Plus one non-football school to balance out Gonzaga

i would say unm instead of el paso....and yes...add st mary's or heck grab grand canyon from the mwc..

so yes they will probably add a couple more....even above the above two mentioned....

mwc isn't what it used to be obviuously and will be even weaker in a couple years.....or months.

You were saying the same crap when we left D2. 

If you really think this is the same thing, you are in for a rude awakening. FBS is many times more expensive than FCS.

Well aware of that.  Of course we heard that back then also. 

But heres a question--why are you guys so butt hurt that we are moving up?  UND has made no hint at moving up what so ever. So you must be happy where you are at. We werent and made the move.  so why the angst? Why not be mad at your leaders instead?

I understand this is a really hard time for you but girls wrestling has like 50 teams in ND already lol

Hey, John boy could you fire up that Title IX - womens hockey lawsuit for the ladies in Fargo.  It's time to call NDSU's bluff on Title IX.

UNLV probably would have bailed to the new Pac12, but they may have been told if Nevada wasn’t invited, they can’t go alone. Package deal.  
 

Lots of speculation on that.

For $17 million they could have run a 2 minute infomercial during the Super Bowl.

money out...."women's" wrassling.......how much money is coming in from it?  asking for some people that keep writing about how it's racist that und dropped women's hockey

adding any women's sport is EXPENSIVE in the long run

Money out the door on women's wrestling would be pennies compared to women's hockey.

Money coming in would be similar (basically $0)

UND caught unprepared and looking like fools again.  Infuriating. 

No flipping way UND or even the SD or MT schools would ever be able to afford $17 million dollar entrance fee plus millions of dollar increase in budget every year. Good luck to NDSU for finding that cash every year, can’t wait to see the student fee increase get passed !!!!

Griz have Daddy Dennis and if he wanted too he could

I'm surprised NDSU will pay no exit fee to the MVFC and gets to cancel their '26 games.   I always thought the point of having an exit fee was to keep teams from walking away without a long time notice.  UND will take a hit over not having that sellout game at the Al.
