Still not sure how this proves any sort of point other than SiouxVolley sure knows how to get the FargoU fans going. Everyone already knows that UND has struggled in OOC play in MBB, that is no shocker, but now we know that somehow that is the benchmark for the Summit schools. The winning percentage actually increases if you include the transition years. 1-10 since the transition ended. Quote
Gothmog Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Just now, UNDBIZ said: Vince was referring to the snub of UND baseball when the summit was in need of a team to maintain autobids. I missed that. In any case, his post still makes no sense. Because the Summit wasn't interested in an affiliate Baseball member several years ago (a school that could have been a full member, but cancelled the site visit), they should not be expected to show interest in a new full member now? Really? Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I would have no problem if UND moved over to play in the Summit and MVFC. For now, though, the focus is on the Big Sky Conference. Everything else is 'blah' ... 2 Quote

But unless the eastern schools see a benefit of playing UND (close to NDSU, potential OOC game within the division) I can't see the MVFC in our future....only the SL (in that case stay in the Big Sky).

UNDvince97-01 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 3 hours ago, Gothmog said: Huh? The Summit did not ignore that school 70 miles to the north. In fact, that school cancelled a site visit by Summit officials that very likely would have resulted in a bid. Obviously, the MVFC did snub that northern school, but, IIRC, there was the issue of NCAA sanctions at the time. They didn't ignore, but they certainly dicked around with it long enough to allow the Big Sky to get their foot in the door. If the Summit/MVFC had proactive leadership, they probably would have locked up UND before the Big Sky came in. 3 hours ago, Gothmog said: I missed that. In any case, his post still makes no sense. Because the Summit wasn't interested in an affiliate Baseball member several years ago (a school that could have been a full member, but cancelled the site visit), they should not be expected to show interest in a new full member now? Really? It makes perfect sense. Baseball affiliate or otherwise, it still would have been and still is in the Summit/MVFC best interest to go after UND and strengthen themselves long term in the name of self-preservation, especially from a geographic standpoint/travel partnership. Douple's idiocy and Patty's lack of vision prevented that though. Don't you agree that instead of speculation about going after a Division 2 Mankato, the easiest problem-solving measure to secure the future of the leagues is to go after UND instead? All propaganda aside? I know I'm asking a lot here, but I'm trying to give it a chance. 4 Quote

My point is that any serious DI talk has to come with a conference offer. The Horizon and MVFC would not even talk to Mankato. That leaves one conference. Logic must have been a topic you missed. More deflection,color me shocked again. Perhaps you need to look up the definition of "fact". While you're at it, look up "rumor". Quote

The Vikings just closed on land in Eagan for new practice facilities and a 10k seat stadium. I don't think Mankato will be getting any checks after the Vikings move into their new digs. Quote

The trend is away from off-site training camps. I believe 19 NFL teams currently hold training camp at their regular practice facilities. The Vikings deal with Mankato runs through 2018. Although no plans have yet been announced, it seems likely that the Vikings will hold TC in the new facility when it's ready. Quote

My only issue with this plan is that the Football Stadium Capacity is only 6 thousand (I could be wrong) I Think they should try and go bigger than that or at least have a plan in place to add additional seating. I love that they are going to put in a soccer stadium though, the women's soccer team their is one of the best in DII and I think they could do very well in DI if given the opportunity, they deserve to have their own stadium.
