i could handle this, guessing if they want DI football would be dropped

Yeah, SCSU I could see dropping football since they've already considered it. Their field is tiny too.
Minnesota State needs a new stadium with turf.
It's good to keep these schools in mind in case something major happens. On the other hand, you don't want to rush because if the G5 and FCS playoff schools meet in the middle, you don't want schools that aren't ready for that additional challenge.
I don't think UNI, USD, SDSU and NDSU would ever vote a MN school into the MVFC. Too big of a pipeline state for all of them, UNI especially who already has lost a lot of their grip on the Twin Cities. So any MN school would need to drop football or go non-scholarship.
But for other sports I don't think it is as big of deal, in fact I think a MN school would strengthen the Summit a bit.
I agree on thr Summit. The conference isn't nearly as stable and it's easier to invest in basketball facilities than football. Football is a cash drain if your a weak program. I would be super excited if a few MN D2 teams dropped football completely. It's in our best interest
Doesn't MSU-Mankato host Vikings training camp? Dropping football (and deteriorating facilities) would mean losing that, right?
Their basketball arena is DI ready right now.
