Do they think Denver, Omaha and UST want Summit hockey? If football can have a power play....why not hockey? Nobody wants this precedent outside of a desperate UND.

You know what Fenton's previous job was right? You don't think the idea has been talked about?

I am fully aware and I am sure it has been talked about much like Summit football but not really going anywhere for similar reasons.

I don't think it would be very popular for UND to work to get NDSU kicked out of the Summit League. Nor do I think that any conference commissioner would risk dooming the whole conference just to satisfy UND's spite. I mean, a commissioner's two main goals are stabilizing and improving their conferences. Kicking out NDSU runs counter to both those objectives.
Am I missing something?

Does the Mountain West want to continue a downward slide after losing some of their best football members, or do they want to build on improving the conference? Look how NDSU was the driver for the MVFC in the FCS to relatively became like the SEC of the FBS.
Replace Boise with new Boise.

Not at all surprised by this and you knew it was coming
I find it interesting that ESPN hasn’t picked this up yet. They were all over NIU/Toledo right away if I recall correctly …
McMurphy is a well respected tier 1 source. It could just be that the talks haven't progressed enough yet, or whoever spilled the beans didn't have a connection to ESPN. If things heat up, we should see more reports and leaks over the next few days. Some tier 2 reporters will already start spinning new stories off of the McMurphy one.
Sometimes, ESPN "leaks" are intentional for various reasons, like to put pressure on one of the parties to close the deal, or to informally break the news. Those often tend to come from high level sources like ADs and Commissioners.
Not sure yet if this leak was intentional, or just something that slipped out. Both can happen.

I am pretty certain this leak came from the MW. Could be a negotiation ploy or their true intentions.
