Zero. Too small, underfunded and geographically isolated.

haha, I'm holding you to that one. Doubting I'll be coming back to collect.

Of course, with the caveat that if major changes happen with how FBS is currently constructed, all bets are off.

UND was not and is not getting into the MVFC unless there is a shift that causes someone else to leave. It was never on the table anywhere at any time. Fan bases or administrations can't force conferences to allow a team to join. Of all fan bases that should know this, you'd think it would be NDSU's, because clearly NDSU would already be in the BIG12.

No, your administration had a chance. If you moved up in 2003, there is little doubt you would be in Summit/MVFC with NDSU, and maybe SDSU and USD would not. Don't forget that.

Reps on the Big 12 purple, though....(except that we are in the B12, UN_ folks forget that too.)

How is there little doubt? Didn't NDSU need SDSU go to bat for them to get them to where they are by making it clear it was a package deal only? Does SDSU feel that same obligation if there are two North Dakota schools instead of just one?

Give UND credit for creating the opportunity for USD to get into the MVFC/Summit. I'm sure that makes people in Vermillion happy.

I think if they had shown real solidarity and not this cold shoulder, all the Dakota schools would have been together in everything. It's a nice grouping of schools with a common interest.

I wasn't particularly excited either way when I found out we were playing UND. But all I'll say is I'm glad we don't have a bye week before the game. This week will be long enough the way it is. Bison 45, Sundogs 13
