Southern Utah and Utah Tech to the Big Sky Texas schools to the Summit. You could then Have divisions in the Summit North - Dakotas plus Denver and St. Thomas South - Texas, ORU, Omaha and Kansas City At some point Denver probably gets their wish and goes to WCC, maybe Summit can convince Northern Iowa to join. Nice travel partner for St. Thomas and would get you to 7 football schools. Loyola credits are drying up and MVC isn't what it once was in hoops, so Summit could be enticing. If Denver gets their wcc wish.... Fenton calls and says enjoy the wcha or ccha bitches Lock em up just like st Thomas 1 Quote

The commissioner sounds like he has made his decision to add both Utah teams and he is paid to make those decisions. He obviously sees the advantages of having them in the league. What would the "advantages" be again....other then Fenton increasing his job security in the short term until a better bigger job counts around and he bolts... Again So far Fenton has been as the youngsters say..... Mid Quote
Sioux>Bison Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Merging the Summit, NCHC and football into one conference would be the best for the stability of all sports. Schools need to look at the big picture and make all their sports secure by combining into one conference 2 Quote
NewUndFan Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I seen some rumors now out there that maybe we get the Texas schools to come here and form a new football conference. I do think we need to try and use the strength of our football teams to strengthen the summit league. 1 1 Quote

When all the Dakota schools I think would move to the Missouri valley full time if they had a chance. Agreed it would be a stretch for Drake but would UNI even field a football team is they had to play murray state and indiana state and whatnot...plus what if Fenton moved Summit football to FBS....FCS without the Dak4 is essentially d2 or worser... Each current member or future member needs to be "locked in".... For Denver, Omaha, ST Thomas it would be Summit Hockey.......you want MVC or Big East here's Lucia's number...have fun on those trips to Hougton in December. For the two Texas schools it's football...best FCS football would be Summit Football with or without UNI or Drake...better than the UAC thingy they are doing now playing North Alabama and WEstern Georgia ST?? NDAC and or SDAC want Conf-USA football....have fun with your oly sports in _____ conference.... And heck....Summit academics v MVC academics aren't what they used to when MWC had Loyola and whatnot and the Summit had whatever dogs they've had over the years...the scale has tipped dramatically in the last ten years between the 2 on academics in the direction of the summit league.... 1 Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 hearing that the utah schools are more replacements for if/when mwv grabs oral bob, umkc, and or omaha only omaha and their hockey program could be "locked up"...so maybe mwc grabs bobby and the roos we get suu and dixie state but grabbing a couple of those Texas teams to get to "6" and create/start summit football should be priority for fenton.... f patty....

FSSD Posted March 12 Posted March 12 This set the bar for the Mountain West and Pac 2. I not sure how the Sun Belt, MAC and CUSA will respond. This looks like $3.3 million per year. As a comparison, UND spend approximately $1 million annually on Alston Awards. So, I am not what to think of this - is this too low or about right and can all G6 schools compete. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-footbal...55382.html As part of this “Minimum Investment Program,” schools must share with athletes at least $10 million in cumulative additional benefits over a three-year period, starting with the 2025-26 academic year. Schools can reach the required $10 million figure through a combination of benefits now available to them through the settlement of the House antitrust lawsuit. Schools can include as additional benefits (1) up to $2.5 million in new scholarships and (2) direct revenue they share with athletes, as well as (3) up to $2.5 million in Alston payments — a stipend that some schools have been distributing to their athletes.
