Summit Expansion

[SIOUXFAN97]

If the Summit drops below 7 schools needed for D1.......................Bring back the old NCC or expand West with the two Utah schools?

*Edit for those voting "none of the above"

[NewUndFan]

Not sure why we would want to go back to our Division 2 days and the NCC.  Not necessarily sold on the Utah schools but I for sure know I dont want Division 2 schools in our area that will now compete for athletes and water down the summit.  

[nodak651]

None of the above.  Except MN State, but they don't have the money or political support to make it happen.

[cberkas]

None, If UND wants to be serious get into a FBS conference like Mountain West. At some point They should just leave the other Dakota schools behind.

Bc St Thomas, Omaha, UMKC, and Oral Bob could get invites from conferences out East...MWC or otherwise

Denver could get a WCC invite 

Then it would be all hands on deck to back or over 7 schools whether or not it's the 4 mentioned above or schools like Emporia State or Nothern State (i kid of course but who knows!)

I see Minot State is in the championship of Northern Sun. Better invite them too. They beat Minnesota State

How do you propose to get into an FBS conference when none of the other Dakota schools have been successful?   I'd venture a guess that two of the other schools might have slightly better credentials than we have and no luck.   I'll grant you that it appears SDSU hasn't tried very hard either to move up though

haha...not advocating any of the above....i'm for a merge of top of bsc and summit and go east and west.......or have fenton dangle some fairy dust at one or two mvc conference members to join up.....

if these rumors are true it's bc fenton is lazy and knows he's being poached (again) and is looking to make sure that the summit is 7 or more schools or else yes.......hello minot, duluth, mankato, and augie and the return of the NCC

Not too long ago there were two "Dakota schools" that wanted into the Big Sky and only one was chosen. I think University Presidents have some say in which schools are invited.
