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

Exactly my point. How far did all that get them before the Summit started panicking about a meltdown.

NDSU’s job right now is to make sure it’s St Thomas in this scenario and not Auggie.

How does FCS determine seeding for their playoffs?

Playoff committee uses a super secret algorithm to award shitty teams from the south with seeds they don't deserve.

But it is usually VERY clear who #1 and #2 are anyway so any seeding after that doesn't have as much of an impact.

That is a perfect explanation!

Except for the part about the rest of the seeds not having much impact. There are typically several top 8 teams stuck playing an extra round and paired geographically which distorts the bracket a lot. Getting the seeds wrong is the most impactful thing the committee does.

100% This! SDSU and the Montana's are going to make the move eventually but being the first to transition and establish ourselves as the sole upper Midwest G5 school is just to valuable of an opportunity to pass up. Now, with that said, with the current recruiting class we have coming in, it would be nice to stack up a couple more Natty's first. ;)

I have been assured by some here that all G5's are afterthoughts..Do you really want to sign up to be an instant afterthought..You would be known as the 1st upper midwest afterthought. So there is that.

I know a couple guys who went to law school there. I'll see if they are hearing anything.

Lets just say you're first and it's the CUSA.

2 years later the MWC pulls Montana and Montana State.

Being first doesn't mean shit.
