As stated previously, the WAC is much more valuable conference than the Big Sky, MVFC, CAA etc, because it can grant FCS schools FBS status. Schools like Liberty would pay big money to the WAC to get FBS status. An Idaho message board poster is your source.? This is the same Idaho thats dropping back to FCS? So when is UND announcing the big move up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy will deny a move to FBS with a WAC move , but then a major donation will suddenly appear, and all the sudden it's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An anonymous poster on an unidentified message board says that the AD of one school, out of eight needed, is "trying" to get a WAC-Big Sky realignment to happen, correct? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't look to much into UND joining the WAC, it wouldn't be for long anyway. The WAC is just the route UND will be taking to get into the BIG 10, and after dominating there ... the SEC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The WAC does need to do something to secure its future, how exactly it does that... well who knows. CSU can't last that long as it is. Who knows if UMKC or NMSU decide to leave the WACky land As for UND, I'm not as confident as I was on a move for Summit/MVFC, I'm starting to think they stay put. Its just too quiet on all fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to think the Big Sky is wanting a quick resolution to all of this. Tom Miller's best guess as to when we may hear something... Tom Miller@tommillergf My best guess for UND's potential move to the Summit/MVFC/Big Sky FB affiliate is that it'll all shake out in February.

He says it: Quote Here are the days of the week in order of NDSU's home league games this season: Saturday, Thursday, Thursday, Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Saturday. Moreover, three of the Saturday games start at 2 p.m. and another at 4 p.m. The Big Sky at least does Thu/Sat. Maybe the Bison should make a move to be with UND and have that predictable schedule he's looking for. Just adding UND is no guarantee that the Summit will begin to schedule sanely. NDSU should go to a conference with a predictable methodology already in place. Seems that's what he really wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I've never been much more than a casual fan, but other than the Big Ten-ACC challenge (made for TV) which always falls on the same night of the week, I sort of figured game schedules were unstructured if not completely arbitrary.

The Sicatoka Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The old NCC was always Fri/Sat (travel partners, for example -- Fri: UND at USD; NDSU at SDSU, then Sat: UND at SDSU; NDSU at USD). The Big Sky: UND was at MSU last night; UNC was at Montana; Saturday UND at Montana; UNC at MSU. http://www.bigskyconf.com/calendar.aspx?path=mbball& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the point is that you can't have that kind of regular conference schedule with an odd number of teams. On a given Thursday or Saturday night at least one Summit :League team must not be playing a conference game. Adding UND, or any other team for that matter, will allow a more regular schedule. NDSU moving to the Big Sky creates the same odd-number problem for that conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously an even number of teams is more ideal, but you can still have a pretty normal schedule with an odd number of teams. The Big Sky managed to do it before Idaho joined with one Monday game a week, and every other game on Thursday/Saturday. I have no clue why the Summit has one of the strangest set-ups out there but it really isn't that surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An individual school does have input into its home schedule, and can, by itself, create a more regular home schedule...if there are an even number of teams. It can't if there is an odd number.
