Anyone think UMary or Jamestown will try to make a push for D1 puck within the next 5-10 years? 

U Mary maybe, think they would have the funds and Bismarck does support hockey

Facilities.
Appropriate facilities. 
I'd say Bismarck (UMary) has the best chace of getting something in place. 

[The Sicatoka]

If those three plus Augie, we'd finally know how Goldie felt with the emergence of all the MnSCU DI programs.

CUSA is FBS in name only, I went to Mid TN State as an undergrad.  CUSA now stretches from Delaware to New Mexico. Living up to it's name as Conference USA

[SIOUXFAN97]

i know tradition and all but if and when delaware goes FBS it's time for new helmets........it was cool/fun when your fcs and they are fbs but if you trying to go big time and forge your own path....you can't "copy" anyone imo

That's the buzz elsewhere.
They'd have to double current budgets.

if it is msu why "wait"...is the wait bc grand canyon has a nice offer but it comes with adding FBS (money) and they need a little time to explore some options on that front...

phoenix>springfield and springfield isn't really considered west if you think they already have west teams (nmsu and utep)...plus i don't see utep liking some of c-usa's moves and asking/moving to mwc/pac 16?

who knows...but maybe that is the "wait" part.....your in if you can come up with an fbs plan?

they have baseball (i hear phoenix has nice baseball weather)

they have golf (men's and women's) ( i also hear they have nice weather for golf)

other than not having football (for now)...they have a lot in common with c-usa.....

I think they have the backing of the state.  They're building a 8K seat, 100 million dollar basketball complex, apparently.
