Herd Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Easy to say when your in a conference without football. Not letting Denver in because of football is a stupid artificial rule by Fullerton and the BSC. Again, stupid by Fullerton. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Not letting Denver in because of football is a stupid artificial rule by Fullerton and the BSC. Again, stupid by Fullerton. Most of Denver's non-hockey programs are crap anyway. Also, it's a small private school; I believe all Big Sky members are public, state-supported institutions. So what's the big deal? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Allowing DU would have had the advantage of allowing conference meeting minutes to be private (and not requestable under FOIA) as not all organization members would be public institutions. That's another dropping of the ball. Conference - private school Pac12 - Stanford, USC Big Ten - Northwestern SEC - Vanderbilt Big 12 - TCU They all do it. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Most of Denver's non-hockey programs are crap anyway. DU's lax and skiing programs are solid, and they're putting money into MBB. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 DU's lax and skiing programs are solid, and they're putting money into MBB. And how many Big Sky programs have Lax and Skiing? Quote
UNDColorado Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 The Montana's have skiing, but that is about if for similarities. 1 Quote
darell1976 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 And how many Big Sky programs have Lax and Skiing? UND should have skiing...ever see those mountains the city of Grand Forks makes from cleaning the streets. Lol!! 2 Quote
SiouxVolley Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 UND should have skiing...ever see those mountains the city of Grand Forks makes from cleaning the streets. Lol!! I could easily see UND adding x-country skiing for women. Schools like St Cloud and Bemidji have it for both sexes and compete at the top level. Montana St is the only BSC school that offers skiing. NAU and Montana used to I believe. 1 Quote
BisonCardinal Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 SV, with the addition of Denver and Oral Roberts, is the Summit League going to survive? If you think it will, how long before UND feels it may be economically beneficial to join the Summit? If you think it won't, what will cause its downfall? Signed, Dean B. PS, thanks for all your brainwork on this matter. I've been too busy celebrating Bison victories to think about it much. Quote

BisonCardinal Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Ok, Lieutenant Literal, I am talking about football victories. I did not realize the Summit did not have football. Seriously, I want to know if SV thinks the Summit will survive with an additional two members. He has put a lot of energy into his conspiracy threads and predicting the demise of the Summit. Could it be that college presidents, particularly the Summit ones, are smarter than he is? Quote

The SL has done a lot in securing their league by getting ORU back, plus UMKC may also come back, add that 1 million dollar exit fee and its very secure. Quote

PS, thanks for all your brainwork on this matter. I've been too busy celebrating Bison victories to think about it much. NDSU will kill it when they go to the Big Sky. That's why the Slummit Presidents made the exit fee a cool $1mill. I'm sure the Slummit paid all exit and entrance fees for Oral Bob to join the Slummit. The Presidents knew that the Slummit was in trouble with not having enough baseball teams. Bisonville chose to conveniently ignore those facts and pretended everything was ok. If any of NDSU, SDSU, ORU. UNO, WIU, or IUPUI leaves, the Slummit would be facing the same disaster. Keep your head up your posterior as you bison fans always do. Only this time, UMKC won't save you because they don't have baseball. Quote
BisonCardinal Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Is it possible that the NCAA would look the other way on the baseball rule, much like they do on the FBS 15,000 minimum attendance requirement? Quote
cberkas Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 And how many Big Sky programs have Lax and Skiing? I could easily see UND adding x-country skiing for women. Schools like St Cloud and Bemidji have it for both sexes and compete at the top level. Montana St is the only BSC school that offers skiing. NAU and Montana used to I believe. LAX is popular at Montana State I don't know if they will move it up from a club team. Montana State is the only school with Skiing in the Big Sky, Montana and Idaho had teams. Montana doesn't have what Bozeman has for skiing, Bozeman has Bridger Bowl about 30 minutes away (where the NCAA does the Championship when in Montana) and Big Sky about a hour and a half away. Missoula has two smaller mountains near by but it's 3 and a half hours away from Whitefish Mountain. It looks like NCAA Skiing is mostly Nordic (x-country) events and only 4 Alpine events (2 mens 2 womens). Quote

Whether the Slummit has enough teams to be solvent or not, it remains a crap-hole, way-station conference where schools are always looking for something better. But since there isn't anything better for them, they stick around. Oh, wait for it..... #ButtRPI PS: What a topic to post on for Post #5,000!!! Quote
BisonCardinal Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Had to bump this gem. Can hockey replace baseball as a required mens's sport in regards to the NCAA? With the addition of UST, it just might be easier for the Summit to meet hockey team requirements instead of baseball. PS: I realize that UST has baseball also, but hockey affiliates may be easier to come by in the Summit footprint. 2 Quote
southpaw Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 No. And you don't want the Summit running the NCHC. I'd take Fenton over Duple for any league in a heartbeat. Quote
