I really am surprised about Omaha even getting a visit. 

Am too.  Guess UNI and Drake wanted someone more local too.  But the MVC could still only take 1 or 2 or 3.  Five schools had visits the last time and only Loyola got chosen.

The NW contingent would like that, but don't know the Seattle U would like to play in the hinterlands.

two words....the old Great West!!!

Seattle was too stuck up to join for anything other than track.  We played them, but it wasn't a league game in mbb or wbb or even baseball etc.  They had independent schedules because they didn't like the idea of playing away from the coasts.  The Big West I think gave them a lot of games OOC.

If the MVC invites Murray St and their football goes MVFC, does Youngstown football go to the Ohio Valley Conference?

Youngstown would not be challenged in the OVC, except maybe Jax St. Supposedly, the CAA could look at them, but even that is doubtful as YSU has a JC reputation.

I missed that where in the article.  I saw Murray, Valpo and Milwaukee.  For 12 teams

However, that is two Horizon League teams (Valpo, Milw) and an OVC (Murray State). 

As I've said, I could easily see the HL moving on IUPUI and IPFW to backfill. 

And I wonder if the OVC would move on Youngstown in that scenario. 

That would damage the Summit and potentially the MVFC.

Another way.  One each from the summit, Horizon and OVC.  Valpo, Murray and Omaha.  What would that do?

Hopefully 2 Horizon teams are taken and they take Fort Wayne and IUPUI off our hands. Adding the Montana's, Idaho, EWU, and Seattle could make this a really interesting conference. I like the Big North idea.

How long will it be to get the bison trolls saying that league should be FBS?  They were steadfast against a UND WAC but would be in favor of this being FBS.  As Liberty has shown, the NCAA can give schools and conferences waivers to be FBS now.  The WAC was the only vehicle available to go without a waiver.

UND just cut 3.1 Million dollars from their athletic budget.  What makes you think they can afford FBS?!!
