only "massive" news could be adding a couple texas schools with football and starting summit football

 

Thats what I was thinking and I think that would be massive news.   Hopefully Fenton has been working harder behind the scenes then what we think.  I guess we will see.

ACU would be 5....would youngtown say f u to mwfc and in part the mvc (between mwv and mac they have been waiting for a call forever and ever)

that would be 6 with the penguins?

Do you think then that we need to expand?   If so who do we have a chance of bringing over that can elevate the Summit League?  I am not overly excited about the Utah schools, but I also feel that we need to add some stronger D1 schools.  Absolutely no more D2 teams from the Dakota's or Minnesota though.

The Summit not being in control of FB  really limits the leagues potential IMO.  #1 choice for many are the WAC Texas schools.  Beyond them, UCA could be a good travel partner for ORU.  They are building a brand new arena soon that they have an RFQ out for.  If they were to join the MVFC, I'd make green turf a requirement.

Just found this video on YouTube.  Not sure if this guy knows anything, but says there could be big news coming from the summit league.  Called it massive news

 

In case anyone doesnt want to listen to the whole thing. He starts talking about the Summit league at 5:45.  I do think he has some inside information.  We all know Fenton has wanted to do something.  I will be disappointed if it would be just the two weaker Utah Schools.   The two Texas school and Utah Valley would be a good grab.

weird that he mentions tarleton as being the one that wants FBS when ACU is "richer" by the looks of it?

Tarleton has tons of support from the state.  They have all new govt funded facilities and an ipf is being lined up to be built soon as well.

Another post on X about Summit League Football.  I still think something is up and could be exciting news.  I must be the only interested lol  

Great find.  That person wrote an interesting article... https://www.mwcconnection.com/2025/3/12/24381175/peak-perspective-q-a-with-kc-smurthwaite-on-consulting-and-college-football?utm_campaign=mwcconnection&utm_content=entry&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

interesting that a few weeks after the rumored cal-baptitst and UVU to the WCC or big west only cal-b has commiited....it does seem like fenton wants to add a/some utah schools for some reason (time zone? travel partner(s)

i remember reading that uvu would be willing to start a football program to get an invite to the BSC....wonder if fenton is talking to them about that possibility?

adding just UVU is fine with me....travel partner kinda for denver?

maybe uvu adds football FCS or FBS down the road

but what's better than one utah school (haha no dixie or southy)....what if fenton tries to poach Weber State (especially if BSC adds the other 2 utah schools....too much for Weber to stomach?)  too with Summit Football if both the Texas schools coming on board?

wac/summit football

und

ndac

usd

sdac

tarleton

acu

weber

if the above could/would happen.....could fenton then grab uni or drake?????

und/ndac

usd/sdac

st thomas/drake or uni

omaha/denver

oral bob/kc

uvu (needs to rebrand as central utah university)/ weber state

acu/tarleton

Posted

I think acu Carleton combo plus central Arkansas to go with OBob. Schedule non revenue sports with 3 clusters- Dak4, urban and southern.  St thomas needs to move up football. That would be 12 total and 8 football and is a pretty solid league.

rick pitino said big east should look to add more teams or something..

one guy on mcafee mentioned that the acc and big east should "work on something"....work together or something for basketball

sec commish on mcafee said that when he mentions expansion "the room goes quiet".....why????
