No thanks on St Thomas. Enough Minnesota presence and they havent proven anything yet. Don't know why people want to dump Western.  Great college hockey environment

Speak for yourself. I get that you can't come to grips that the WCHA days are over. The NCHC came into being to get away from those schools.   And if you can't see the appeal of travel to AZ in the winter and how ASU might appeal to Denver and CC, I can't help you.  North Dakota isn't the only school in the NCHC.

Montana’s, North Dakota’s, and South Dakota’s need to do something

 

 

Doubt that Fargo wants to do anything with UND, they are still expecting that big 12 invite 

whatever happens should be an all sport conference , not just football

I am pretty sure Omaha is only D1 because they were willing to get rid of football.

So the MVC schools lobbied for Murray State (because they are going MVC and MVFC now). MoSt and WIU state yes votes (rest haven't responded). The MVC schools (IlSU, InSU, UNI, SIU, MoSt) plus WIU (Horizon for BB) are a majority in an 11 team league. 

NDSU said no. (Will that harm them with the MVC in the future?) 

UND (Armacost) said he's not commenting on a private vote. (I read that as a UND no vote, but he doesn't want to publicly state he disagreed with the decision; that said, I can be wrong.)

McFeely was correct in his article, the balance of power in the MVFC has shifted to the weakest football schools in the conference.  Now it will permanently be that way with the MVC schools outnumbering the Summit schools, and WIU being so financially strapped and weakened as a program that they will vote for a downgrading in the strength of the conference.

that western vote is such a plea for full membership it's pathetic.

true...but maybe they want to add fb back? just saying they could...just like denver but with title 9 probably no chance.

Talk is cheap; it takes money to buy whiskey, ... and football. And Omaha doesn't have money for football.
