Right, that's all said to stir the pot. Bison are still playing better FB, we all understand that part. The thing Culhane forgot to mention is the wall on the north side of NDSU did fall down today.

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 We can't move any sooner than 2020. Conference schedules are set until then. The Big Sky and the MVFC aren't going to start over from scratch to exclude/include UND to figure out their schedules for 2018 and 2019. Its only for 2 years. It is a temporary inconvenince that will be well worth it after we are in the MVFC. Today is a great day for UND athletics!! 2 1 Quote

They won't leave 2 teams completely out. Is that for certain? Big Sky used to have a set number of teams then changed it to include everyone. Quote

They'll figure that out when time comes, who know there may be more membership changes before then? Getting to like this move more as the day goes on! Quote

Oxbow6 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I propose this.......since the Dakota schools are basically putting the NCC back together can UND at least go back to being called the "Fighting Sioux"? Is that really too much to ask? . 3 Quote

darell1976 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 So when 2020 comes around and we play NDSU every year do we get a new trophy to play for or brush the dust off of the nickel? I know it's got an Indian side of it but it is a "historical" coin. 1 Quote

I'm thinking not UNI because they don't have a Pres., they probably were one of the OK's or abstain. SD radio station mention 2 SD's were 2 of the big supporters. That's from one of the SD posters.

UNDBIZ Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 The vote to invite UND to join mvfc was unanimous. Weird, all the mvfc bros on the message boards said we weren't good enough for them. Thought they had pull. 1 Quote

Is that really too much to ask? . Yes it is too much to ask. Don't want anything to do with it anymore. That ship has sailed and if we can't afford to maintain our sports and have to change conferences, we sure as hell need to get beyond the Fighting Sioux issue and launch our new brand. Maybe one of the reasons we seem to be slow to make progress is we waste time and effort on stuff that either doesn't matter or we can't change. We have joined the MVC/Summit. Our focus needs to be on raising funds, improving coaching salaries and improving facilities. We also need to evaluate the game day experiences and how we improve attendance. The new President needs to be on board and we need to sell the Alumni Assn. on the importance of moving our projects, including marketing to the forefront to enhance the University experience for all students and the fan experience. Their thoughts should be an investment which should improve revenues through attendance, and sales of gear with new logo. Studies show increased donations will follow. 7 1 Quote

Siouxperman8 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 1 hour ago, darell1976 said: Could the 4 be the Dakota 3 and UNI? From Kolpack's article: Adding UND marks a change of heart in expansion for the Missouri Valley since its Presidents Council met last summer, where Viverito said the league was content with its makeup. It appears the Summit League-member schools of the Valley—NDSU, South Dakota State, South Dakota and Western Illinois—played a role in the addition of the Fighting Hawks. "We have four members ... who were anxious to get North Dakota in the Summit as a 10th member," she said. "For good reason they asked us to reconsider because it's good for the all-sports side of the equation as opposed to just football." 1 Quote
Cratter Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Looks like NDSU and UND are besties again. 2 1 Quote
