Hopefully Fenton has been working harder behind the scenes then what we think. I guess we will see. 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 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? st thomas? happy parking their football in the pioneer? if not ysu maybe st thomas says we'll be the 6... f patty Quote

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. On 3/10/2025 at 2:04 PM, NewUndFan said: Do you think then that we need to expand?

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. 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 weird that he mentions tarleton as being the one that wants FBS when ACU is "richer" by the looks of it? Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. 3 Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 Also hope when all this settles that the Summit Brand dies and the WAC is used going forward..... Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 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 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 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 Quote
nodakvindy Posted March 16 Posted March 16 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. 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 17 Author Posted March 17 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???? Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 17 Author Posted March 17 To those that say Fenton can't get either Drake or UNI or BOTH.....MVC aint what it used to be! (return of the WAC) Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 drake gets it done Omaha close at half against St John's. Quote
