The Sicatoka Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 This just in: The Summit League is calling a Friday press conference. Reports are that they'll be renaming themselves the ... North Central Conference 2.0 3 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 There'd better be agreements about membership upon arrival (and for a number of years after) ala what Idaho had with the BSC when they rejoined. Quote

Its not like UNI has a lot of hardware before and after the Dakota schools moved in. They have played in one National title game (lost) then the next season lose to DII UND. UNI will just have to play better football, oh and win in the playoffs. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I'm really surprised the Indiana schools (IPFW and IUPUI) went for this ... or did they, meaning, school presidents vote on admitting new members and they weren't happy about adding "western" (NDSU, SDSU) schools the last time around. Did the Indianas get out-voted by the western contingent? The current Summit: WIU, USD, SDSU, ORU, Omaha, NDSU, IPFW, IUPUI, Denver. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Same question for the MFVC: The eastern members weren't happy about adding western (NDSU, SDSU) schools the last time around. The current MVFC: Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Southern Illinois, Youngstown State, Western Illinois NDSU, SDSU, USD, Northern Iowa UNI will be looking at a lot of trips to the I-29 corridor where Youngstown won't be looking at as many is my best guess. That may raise a Panther's ire. Quote

Not just NDSU but USD, SDSU and Northern Iowa will have fans at the alerus. Montana is the only team currently who brings more than just parents. It's also great for the students, remember the days of stealing the nickel or the mascots head? Does anybody think that wanting to play Minnesota in hockey means your obsessed with the gophers? Fact is the old WCHA was better than the NCHC and the old NCC was better than anything we've had since. This is a great move and long overdue. Amen Quote

He's mad the eastern teams will have an easier road to the playoffs while the western teams will beat each other up. We have seen that in the NCC where only one or two teams from the conference made the playoffs. Like I said play better football and win in the playoffs. So nice they see us as a tough team and a threat. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I was at the USD game this past season. So a conference affiliation change for UND will being in more Yotes fans to the Alerus next time around? Makes sense to me. Quote

That said, welcome Sioux fans; to both leagues. Oh, and don't count out UNC moving over with you; eventually. Rumor has it they aren't thrilled with the BSC right now. Quote
Hardcore Hawk Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 A reminder too that the Alerus Center's highest attended game in 2016 wasn't to a Big Sky opponent, or even the playoff game. It was to South Dakota. Point is, sure there may have been more visiting fans than a Big Sky game, but that's the point. In the MVFC, travel is easier, and old rivalries are back. I'm in. 4 1 Quote
