Dagger Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 It is being reported that Horizon league has IPFW on short list to join their league. The Summit is definitely a revolving door conference. You have to wonder how long IPurdue and Western Illinois will stay in the conference. I am sure those Eastern teams don't like the home court advantage for the Dakota schools have every year in the post season basketball tourneys.. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 It is being reported that Horizon league has IPFW on short list to join their league. Isn't that called "an average Tuesday"? 2 Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 N Kentucky is probably the favorite, but then the Atlantic Sun would need more teams. The ASun could go after IUPUI or IPFW, although both want badly in the Horizon. If the Horizon goes to twelve, the Slummit could be cut off at its knees. IPFW plays baseball, and the Slummit cant afford to lose baseball teams if it wants to keep its autobid. Quote
BisonCardinal Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I am guessing the NCAA is about as strict on the baseball rule as they are on the attendance rule. Quote
Risky Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Once again more talk about a couple of schools (Indiana schools) potentially leaving the Summit. Would UND consider joining the Summit if the MVFC made an offer to UND for football as well? What does everyone think? Quote

nodak651 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I sure hope so. Same. Travel is stupid in the Big Sky and most of the schools are kind of pathetic. Would suck to leave the Montana's, but that is all we would be missing. Imagine the savings in travel budget being spent on coaching.... Quote

JohnboyND7 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I sure hope NOT! Enjoy watching your coaches leave for jobs at the other Dakota schools then. Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I would hope not. That would be like a B1G school leaving for the Big 12. Actually maybe more like the Mountain West. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Enjoy watching your coaches leave for jobs at the other Dakota schools then. So Jones is leaving for NDSU? Hooray! 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Enjoy watching your coaches leave for jobs at the other Dakota schools then. the odds of und leaving/moving to follow the ndac is quite slim...it is more likely the other way around... Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I am guessing the NCAA is about as strict on the baseball rule as they are on the attendance rule. The Summit wasn't about to chance it, so they gave ORU no entrance fee to get to six baseball teams. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 the odds of und leaving/moving to follow the ndac is quite slim...it is more likely the other way around... Exactly. The Big Sky will announce FBS plans next spring. The other Dakotas will be begging and slobbering to join. Quote

Hawkster Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Exactly. The Big Sky will announce FBS plans next spring. The other Dakotas will be begging and slobbering to join. And the plans they announce will be that we aren't doing anything until the schools at the top make a decision. The Sky isn't going anywhere until this is all settled and everything thought through. 1 Quote

The Sky isn't going anywhere until this is all settled and everything thought through. I would be highly shocked if the Big Sky was going to FBS. 3 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Why do some people talk like the Slummit is somehow on par with the MVC? It's a one-bid basketball league (like the Big Sky) with stability problems (unlike the Big Sky). Stop pumping it up into something it is not. Quote
BisonCardinal Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The Summit wasn't about to chance it, so they gave ORU no entrance fee to get to six baseball teams. Do you have a problem with this? Heck, the Summit would probably waive the entrance fee for UND also. The MVC is not near as sexy as it once was. Geographically and sports wise, the Indiana schools in the Summit have a better chance of getting in as they are closer to the other members and they do not sponsor football. A football centric school scares the crap out of Commissioner Elgin. Like it or not, the Dakota schools need to focus on the strengthening the Summit and make it the NCC 2.0. Quote

Actually they told UND no for baseball. Pissing off several of the 'Dakota' coaches in the process. Quote

Yeah that 2 bid league sucks lets just stick with the 1 bid league. Quote
