Big Sky meeting

[andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!]

The Big Sky meeting is today. Any idea on when and where they will anounce whether or not there will be any conference invites? Thanks.

The meeting won't likely be done till around 6pm is the word. NDSU isn't expecting anything from this meeting and neither is SDSU in regards to expansion. If you believe what Halstrom is saying on his blog then the 12 team expansion idea was not a popular notion. Expansion to 10 seems more likely, but if that is the direction they are going then it won't likely happen until October and that will only be scheduled visits to potential members. SUU? Maybe. If they had thoughts on NDSU, waiting until October will kill that unless for some reason the Mid-Con doesn't extend an invite to NDSU. Then the BSC will see NDSU as an option just waiting for a conference again and the momentum if there is any to expand may cool down a bit until such time as a west coast school leaves the BSC. That in my opinion will be the key to any expansion for the BSC and until that happens I think they will deal with the status quo with or without NDSU.
