There are extenuating circumstances which would allow them to move up for 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one silver lining from all of this. They are talking about starting the college Football season in February, so why not have an expanded playoff system!! Not like weather will be a problem. Longer the playoffs go, the warmer it gets!! Playoffs will be in April and May!! Do it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same logic was horse !@#$ to your other bison dillusionists on this thread. A 200 member band was going to be dynamite for the bball court, if they can even move to the court in 15 minutes without hogging all the good seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonadub Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 according to college sports info.com, Augie made an official application to the Summit on March 8.

UND1983 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I certainly don't like to hear Douple say that they don't need an even number of teams to make it work. Everyone is sick of this seven-day-a-week random schedule they put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to eavesdrop as much as possible when I was down at the Summit Tourney when I was in a SDSU or USD section of fans and pick up on anything about Augie joining. I heard more talk about the SoDak 16 that Augie joining. Not saying it wasn't a topic of conversation, but based on my finding, it wasn't a big topic down there. If any of our Jack and Yote visitors on this board who went to Sioux Falls would care to chime in on this, perhaps they could give a better idea as well.

Why hasn’t any other media outlet reported this? http://collegesportsinfo.com/2020/03/09/ncaa-conference-realignment-rumblings/ Pretty sure it has been. I remember reading stories about Augie formally applying. Feels like a year ago, but that's just because of COVID making time feel weird. However those stories had a very different feel because those reporters actually talked to some of the players and got a negative vibe from the Summit over Augie's chances. I think Augie's formal application was included in stories from the Argus and Forum in late Feb or early March, but the headlines were about Augie having an uphill battle to fight to convince the Summit presidents to accept them. I don't have subscriptions to either so I can't confirm, but I'm sure links to the stories are further up in this thread. edit: Yep, there's a link a couple pages back to a Forum story published March 6. I know the Argus published a story that day or the day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are using the highest number in the estimated range of 12-15K. Even using that potentially inflated number, WSU would still have the smallest football stadium in the FBS. It seems very unlikely that a school with FBS aspirations would tear down a 30K football stadium to build a 12-15K multipurpose stadium.

SiouxVolley Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The Big East, A10 and CAA discuss moving around their baseball teams into three geographic divisions that would cut travel expenses. https://d1baseball.com/columns/three-conferences-discussing-regional-scheduling-alliance/ That kind of single sport realignment could.become much more frequent as cost cutting grows.

As I'm writing this on the morning of the 11th, the news hasn't been released yet, but I'm at about 90% certain all it is is that they signed a deal with Under Armor. All the certainty came from the initial tweet several days ago(and I'm not the first to guess UA by a long shot). The text of the teaser video was the following: PROTECT THIS WE WILL I WILL THE ONLY WAY A NEW BEGINNING COMING SOON 5/11/20 Protect=Armor. "I Will" is Under Armor's company motto. "The Only Way Is Through" is a phrase from UA's 2020 ad campaign. Seems pretty conclusive to me, but we'll see in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammersmith Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 And Florida Tech just dropped football, so that's another kick to the balls. (Just kidding. FIT is a small DII tech/engineering school that wants to be in the same mold as RPI or RIT. A DI move from them is highly, highly unlikely.)

SiouxVolley Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Bowling Green drops baseball. Orel Herschiser pitched at BGSU. https://d1baseball.com/featured/bowling-green-first-to-cut-program-during-covid-19/ Used to think that BGSU was the FBS school most similar to UND and that is proving out over time. But BGSU only has $138 m endowment, while UND has almost three times that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 There are reports on Twitter that UWGB will drop from DI. They have fired their MBB staff. Maybe there are looking at D2 and the CCHA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
