FargoBison Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 When is that supposed to start? Seems like it has been on the burner for a while? It sounds like this spring. If NDSU was in any other state but ND ground probably would have been broken by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlsiouxfan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 When the Slummit explodes, UND will be in the position of getting to choose it's own travel partner in the Big Sky from among the three Dakota schools. How does the renewal of the UND-NDSU football game with an initial game in Grand Forks sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FargoBison Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 And UMKC is gone....let the speculation of what is going to happen next commence....

They are the one I keep hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the BSC is their only chance. Even with NDSU kicking butt in the MVFC it means little in the MVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg2009 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 honestly this is a pretty bizarre move on UMKC's part. Much tougher travel, less competitive, afaik no autobid, non-peer competition... anyway, i think the summit survives, but if not, i think NDSU looks to the MAC.

The Sicatoka Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Speculation from the south (no, further south) ... ... why the Kangaroos - pretty centrally placed and unremarkably successful - would leave the Summit for the far-flung and reforming WAC: Because the Dakota schools are inevitably bound for the Missouri Valley. http://terryvandrovec.tumblr.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 For the MVC, there are 3 schools more appetizing location-wise than NDSU and that doesn't take Denver into account. And at this point I don't see the MVC expanding unless Creighton leaves (wonder how they could keep the Omaha market if that were to happen?). Wonder if Denver has a large buyout? They may be rethinking their joining of the Summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The only way they go to the valley is if it loses members itself. Then it won't look anything like the Valley of today. Careful what you wish for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Speculation from the south (no, further south) ... http://terryvandrovec.tumblr.com/ I would give that a credibility level of about a 1. Out of 1000. If the Dakota 3 end up in the MVC it will be as a reaction to a failed league, and even then it's questionable if the MVC would take any or all of them. Pulled that right out of his ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, after watching a lot of popcorn get eaten at UND's expense (conference, moniker) seems it's time for UND fans to chow on some and watch someone else go through the wringer for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be rethinking their joining of the Summit. Creighton is as good as gone and it will cause a domino with the other three MVC privates. You then have Oakland and the Indiana directionals leave for other pastures...then a merger of what's left of the Summit and MVC. Omaha joins MVC non-football and there you have it...not sure about Denver U. If Big Sky, then UND might be on an island but would slide nicely into the new MVC or stay in the Sky.

Oh that's right that only applies to UND. the furthest team in the mac is about as close as the closest team in the sky. I think everyone can admit it would be far from ideal, but at least it would be a competitive conference that supports afaik all the core sports hosted by NDSU.
