I asked this earlier in this thread, but you didn't reply. Why does your DMI conference have to go FBS? Wouldn't staying FCS also work? Whatever UMKC does won't effect the Summit. Idaho only joined the Big Sky because it couldnt get regional schools to its liking in the WAC. Idaho has stated that they need a regional conference to make FBS a go. Believe that holds for the Montana's too. CUSA needs a smaller conference for fbs to be economical. Staying FCS would work but there is much less incentive for Idaho or the Montana's to move so there wouldn't be enough teams. W Illinois simply doesnt do it. The discovery of this old link has gotten some people in a tissy. IUPUI in the link works as well. http://www.thesummitleague.org/members/umkc/index UMKC if it starts football would make more sense going to Texas. Not saying it will happen.

Lose IPFW to the Horizon and ORU to the WAC and then Idaho, the Montanas and EWU move over. W Illinois goes to the OVC. Because the Summit hasn't added a transitional school five years ago, that they have a plan going forward grabbing Big Sky schools. Presidents are much more aware of realignment movements years before they happen. So that they know if things are going according to their plan. Maryland and Rutgers' moves came out of the blue, which caused a lot of other movement that was earlier than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I believe you give university presidents way more credit than they deserve. Things are much more "fly by the seat of their pants" than they'll ever admit.

Losing an autobid could cost them jobs, money and give them much dishonor. Chapman tried to barge his way into the Big Sky because he knew that the Montanas longed for flagship schools nearby after Nevada, Idaho and Boise st left. That situation hasnt changed. Their s a natural grouping of northern tier schools that is just crying out now to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonCardinal Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think UMKC coming back is realistic. UNO, I don't see going anywhere with Denver and UND as Summit members. Fort Wayne will probably go to Horizon. I also think WIU stays put. So now the Summit puts full court press on U of Northern Colorado. I'm really not too concerned with baseball compliance as the Summit just coming up with a "plan" will satisfy the NCAA for a couple years, but getting UNC would also help with Summit football, if that happens. Although SV's DMI conference has its merits, I just don't see it happening primarily because of non-revenue sports. Hard to justify flying all those sports west, when busing south is a lot cheaper.

The Montanas dont have many non-revenue teams that need to fly: women's soccer and softball and tennis. The academic side is much more important to the Presidents. This is not HS leagues ware talking about. ORU probably used the Summit as a rest stop before ccontinuing on to the WAC. If Incarnate Word goes Fbs, that Southland schools like Sam Houston St will follow and that would be a nice league for ORU and UMKC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major reason thad ORU is DI is for awareness and student recruiting. The WAC with Texas schools fits the ORU pentecostalistic market much better. The Summit didn't include ORU for their academic prowess, as just like WIU, they were a warm body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonCardinal Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Screw the SEC. SV talks about aligning with like-minded institutions. Lets skip the SDSU, MSU and Idaho talk, small potatoes. Lets shoot for the land grants of Iowa State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Big 12 here we come. We're practically family now with wrestling.

SiouxVolley Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Officially. South Carolina-Upstate moves to the Big South next year. Liberty probably move to the Atlantic Sun. Will be interesting if other FCS schools like E Kentucky, Jacksonville St, JMU, Delaware, Stony Brook and Albany that have wanted FBS move too. The A Sun may just be a future FBS league. Lipscomb would move to the OVC and NJIT to the America East if it happens. Kennesaw St has always intended to be FBS and there is talk North Florida and FGCU also want the option. A Florida presence is critical for recruiting. FCS would take a major hit. http://www.goupstate.com/news/20171115/usc-upstate-moving-to-big-south-conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presbyterian College wants to go non-scholarship. The Big South needs to sponsor a non scholarship league and get Stetson, Jacksonville, Davidson and Morehead St fb aboard. Then maybe Upstate takes the plunge, as Upstate isn't a big public school, but fb is so important down here. The A Sun could be an FBS league before this is over, as E Kentucky and Jacksonville St could have a conference to go to. JMU, Delaware, Stony Brook, and Albany could follow and then FCS would be just a shell of its former self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
