Their current AD was hired shortly after the conference was announced.  I'm convinced he's the reason for Miami's downfall.

David Saylor AD History

2009–2010    Rice (interim AD)
2010–2012    South Dakota
2012–prsnt   Miami (OH)

David Saylor has been Miami's athletic director since Jan. 2, 2013.  The league was formed on July 9, 2011 and began playing for the 2013–14 season.  But, he has some history with UND.

On November 01, 2010:
UND will officially join the Big Sky on July 1, 2012, but will begin working immediately with league schools on scheduling, marketing and other conference matters.  The Big Sky also added Southern Utah on Monday, and South Dakota is expected to join the league within the next few days.  "We're hopeful South Dakota will be in a position to make this move as well," UND athletic director Brian Faison said.  If South Dakota becomes a member, the Big Sky will become a 14-team football conference split into two seven-team divisions to help control costs.

Later that week on November 04, 2010:

"To join a league as strong as the Missouri Valley Football Conference is very exciting for South Dakota," Sayler said. "The MVFC is an established group with regional ties to some great rivalries and that is what college football is built on. As we embark on new facility projects, growing the Howling Pack and increasing university enrollment, this move strengthens our position at the FCS level."
