What is the added value and they have to sell that to our presidents.” Sanford will leave a billion plus endowment and their phone would be ringing off the hook. Quote

SiouxVolley Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 So the MVC must have found a private school to go along with Murray St. Comments at 6:25. Maybe Augie offered a pile of Money. On 3/4/2020 at 4:44 PM, Nodak61 said: Quote

Youve been criticized for predicting that anyone who could swing a dead cat was going to move up. Plus you have made numerous other predictions on when such movements were going to happen which never came to fruition. We could go on with all of your missed prognostications all night long but why subject us to that tortuous rhetoric again.. Quote

UST is currently DIII and have a lot of work to do. If they join the Summit, they’ll be there for 15 years minimum. Quote

There are numerous examples where a recently transitioned school went to a conference that didn't accept non full DI schools. Northern Kentucky was invited to the Horizon from the Atlantic Sun at the very first moment and has dominated Horizon basketball since. UST needs only it's new arena to get a promotion. Quote

The MVC has extensive tv contracts and the year that Loyola made the semifinals the MVC had like six shares that get averaged out. Any school that has an opportunity to move to a top 10 league will do it. Davidson is another example, going from the SoCon to the A10, which is a huge jump. 1 Quote

I’m going to address you, like you address others. MVC is not top 10, are you a complete idiot and have no knowledge of college basketball whatsoever? A10 top 10, MVC no, check any ranking. Typically 11-13. Loyola made a nice run and earned some money, but Creighton and Witchita are not coming back. Quote

The PAC12 was really bad this year for a P5, as SDiegoSU, Gonzaga, and Dayton stole their top spots. Saying the MVC is not a top 10 league because of one ranking point just goes to show how cowbrain your thinking is. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Florida A&M has a major announcement Thursday. Speculation is a conference move like the ASUn, Big South like Hampton and NCA&T, the SWAC or the OVC. A&M tried FBS before with the Sunbelt, but didn't have the $"s. My bet is the ASun and try FBS again. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 The big news was to announce a game vs DII Albany St in Miami Gardens called the Orange Blossom Classic game to attract more fans. https://famuathletics.com/splash.aspx?id=splash_4&path=football Quote

SiouxHawkGuy Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 https://m.herosports.com/college-football/power-five-split-realignment-fcs-merger-ahah Pretty neat, but I don't like not having all 4 Dakota schools together. Quote

The Flyover Conference is the smallest, by 2 schools, in the new alignment. UND and USD would fit better in that conference (academically and geographically) and bring the total to 12 teams, matching the smaller conferences in this setup. It would, however, leave the Missouri Valley too small and those schools would have to be absorbed into other conferences. Also, Ball State would go from being in a bus conference (MAC) to the extreme eastern edge of what would be mostly a plane tflight conference, especially for them. Quote
