When St. Thomas hits their BB potential they'll be well past the Summit, all of it.

So...moving up was a long time coming for a school that more than deserved it and has the resources needed to be successful? And it'll be the best decision they ever made?

What about all the great regional rivalries they had at D3 tho?!

When the move goes down it better be an upgrade. Moving to the current CUSA for example would be a massive disaster.

So, the Forum "Izzo Podcast" Asks? "Why is SDSU still getting games, whereas NDSU can't"

So, the answer to that is so elementary that it requires no further elaboration. I mean, HELLO!

SDSU National Championships - 0
SDSU Wins vs good FBS Teams - 0 (yes, they might have won 1 or 2, but not any that mattered)
Striking Fear in Opponents - 0

Is the Forum really asking this question?

Interesting that St Thomas has been brought up. In their D1 jump, they had excellent geography, conference invites for all sports, and the finances to bring facilities up to the new standards. I agree completely they made the right choices given their situation.

The only thing that got them to D1 was that there was a conference having a semi-existential crisis. No different than what will be required for us to be invited to a G5 at this point. The 2017 Summit League didn't care about their geography or finances. But when it was time for the conference to look, St. Thomas was ready. Just like the Mountain West of the past didn't care about anything NDSU, hopefully moving forward a situation arises where they will look our direction.

Did they say how they’re going to decide who the top two teams are when you don’t play 1/3 of the conference?

Just playing Rock-Paper-Scissors would be too D2.

Geography is in the Tommies' favor. MSP media and MSP recruiting and MSP potential student population.

Fiscally, um, yeah, the Tommies', they've always been flush.
