Remember how hyped many of us were to get into the Big Sky Conference?
Remember how disappointed we all were when we were rejected?
In looking over the teams in the regional softball tournament by conference, I noticed the Big Sky had 0 entries. "How could this be?" I thought. So I visited the Big Sky Conference website. Turns out Big Sky doesn't do softball.
Had NDSU been admitted to the Big Sky, this weekend's glory might not have been possible.
What would have been the fate of NDSU softball? Independent schedule? 0% chance of going to regionals?
Maybe NDSU would have joined the Pacific Coast Softball Conference. That's where most of the Big Sky teams have ended up. Portland State represented the PCSC in regionals this year. Ironically, at the NCAA Softball bracket site, PCSC is not listed when you search by conference.
