The MVC just took firm control of the MVFC. Interesting …
Did they?Quote:

As part of the newly adopted structure, the MVFC will remain an independent legal entity, distinct from its member institutions' multisport conferences. The updated governance model includes a board of directors, executive committee, athletic director council, joint council, head coach council, and student-athlete advisory council. The MVC and Summit League will play a role in administrative operations.
I thought leading up to this announcement the plan was to put some lower level title than Commissioner in charge of the MVFC not have the MVC Commish slide over and take control?

Fordham-to-South Dakota State transfer Julius Loughridge has the third-most scrimmage yards in the FCS over the last three seasons (3,454 - 3,086 rushing and 368 receiving).
I counted six fingers in that pie; what I'd like to know is who is uber whom; where does the "buck" stop? At first glance, it looks very deep state to me.Quote:

ShunDerrick Powell from UCA had 4,653 all-purpose yards over the last 3 seasons. He might be #1. I think he was signed by the Eagles.Quote:

Someone can verify this if my calculations are wrong.
Those make sense.Quote:

Someone convince me the MVFC is going to be better off with a commissioner who's priorities are with the MVC.
A lot of questions Dom didn't ask.
Baffling that the commissioner of the conference was allowed to be the guy who answers primarily to basketball first schools. He came off like he didnt give a shit about MVFC fb. Really bothers me that NDSU/SDSU are bolstering the Valley brand rather than the Summit. I am curious, however, if this partnership makes it less likely for the MVC to poach a team like St. Thomas or Omah, etc.Quote:

More bullshit from the lower dregs of college sports unfortunately.

Maybe it means the Summit schools don't plan on being in the MVFC much longer.Quote:
