nodak651 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Per College AD, it looks like Lindenwood is looking to make the jump as well. This would bring the OVC back up to 6 for football. Wonder if this makes it more or less likely that Lindenwood adds D1 hockey? Paywall https://collegead.com/newsfeed/college-athletics-847/ Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 sounds like c-usa offered ndac "partial" membership...probably meaning football only...sounds like ndac ad denies this or something...also sounds like this offer was exteded to around 10 fcs and assuming all said no.. ndac is all in on that mwc conference invite if and when boise and sdsu go to the big 12....

nodak651 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 UST tried to buy nearby golf course, for hockey arena and athletic fields, but offer was declined. 61 million offer.. UST still searching for land. https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/st-thomas-eyes-historic-golf-course-for-new-hockey-arena/ Interesting quote by St. Thomas's AD: “Right now we’re focusing on hockey and baseball and softball and those three facilities are contemplated to be the first of those facilities we would need to build,” University of St. Thomas Director of Athletics Phil Esten told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. There would also be room for other facilities, but those three are the immediate priority. Football and basketball will stay in their current locations on campus for now, but the university has to take a long-term view as well." Quote

It's that or buy up an adjoining neighborhood. And I'm sure the board of the golf course knows it. I read somewhere the buyout offer at $61M is about $150k per course shareholder. The offer was about $640k per acre. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 was looking at the ATLANTIC 10 and i still think its funny how far from the ATLANTIC they are moving....Chicago? wonder how much further West or South they look if they look to expand more...another MVC team? Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 looking at the Big East...why didn't they offer St. Louis instead of adding Creighton? would be a better fit for both schools wouldn't it? Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Can't grab the tweet on here, but it sounding like the process for D2s wanting to move up is about to become more difficult. 1 Quote

The NCHC tourney makes too much money to move and rotating the tournament takes away any chance there is of building the Frozen Faceoff up to emulate the Final Five, especially if MN schools are added. I don't see much benefit in adding ASU, to be honest. If it's not broke don't fix it. Would losing Miami and WMU cause us to lose our CBSSN games as well? If anything, adding St. Thomas and Either Mankato or BG is the only thing that makes sense, but not until St. Thomas has a better arena situation and not now, IMO. I would hate to strand Bemidji alone in the CCHA if Mankato joined with Bemidji. Pros of Mankato and Bemidji joining is that the Frozen Faceoff would have more local interest, but again, if it's not broke, don't fix it. Having MN schools in a seperate conference also allows these teams to schedule cheaper non conf games (less travel). Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 if we add bsu st thomas and mankato for sure keep it in St. Paul...that's a nobrainer but if we don't and we add asu and st thomas....why not rotate it.....plus if you had that thursday play in game and the tourney was in phoenix you could fly in on thursday and if you get there quick enough have games thursday, friday, sat and fly back sunday....95 degrees!!!!!!! the denver would be a "one time show me money" or else it never goes back....

nodakvindy Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 No desire to add anyone to NCHC other than ASU. He N in the league name means something. As for the tourney I could see doing something like the ACC basketball tournament being primarily in Greensboro but sprinkling in other locations. Maybe go 3 out of 4 years at the X, using the off year to try Denver, KC, Phoenix and even Vegas. Quote

They have the resources to build a great Division I athletic department across the board. I would take them over Miami every day and twice on Sundays. 1 Quote
