Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
It was always going to happen. Was just a matter of when.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
I am shocked. Shocked! Why in the world are they leaving the best conference in the whole world?!

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
If enough big mouth UND supporters start yapping, maybe the Legislature will step in and prevent this from happening ala "UND and the Big Sky: It's the Law."
Because that would be awesome... ly funny.
Grand Forks Herald headline: "MVFC and Summit Finally Legitimized With Addition of UND."
Bismarck Tribune editorial: NDSU defeated again! Just like when NDSU kept UND from going DI, NDSU has failed to stop UND from joining their conference.
KFGO segments: "Let's talk about how this is great for the state of North Dakota and, hold on, I'm going to segue into bitching about Chapman, Taylor, and Bresciani. <30 minutes later> Let's face it, the only reason NDSU is any good at anything is that UND wasn't in the same conference."

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
SCREW THIS! IM DONE . NO FBS & THIS CRAP? Hello Minnesota Gophers.
THIS MAKES US DIVISION 2 AGAIN. WE ARE IN THE NCC AGAIN.
IF THE NDSU ADMIN WONT GROW THE ATHLETICS DEPT THEN FIRE MATT LARSON & GET SOMEONE IN THERE TO BACK UP NDSUS MOTTO "BRING ON THE COMPETITION"... YEA RIGHT. WE ARE DOWNGRADING
NDSU & UNI & Eastern Schools should vote NO for MVFC
-
Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Now we can be in the same conference as our buddies to the south. I think it's a good idea. I went to the NDSU and UND basketball game in December and it was great time.

Sounds like the MVFC is voting later this week. GFH makes it sounds like a formality.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Was only a matter of time. UND had to make the move for cost reasons. It will be good for scheduling with an even number in the Summit. It will be great to play UND every year in football. Only downfall is not playing now 2 Valley teams in a season. I wonder who will be the odd man out in our protected games we will play every year. Right now it is SDSU and UNI. I would assume UND/NDSU will be played every year. SDSU or UNI game might not be played in a season, that will be weird. Maybe in those years, we can schedule a non-conference game with whoever is left off the conference schedule.

The Eastern schools could be pulling a fast one where we they get to miss out on 2 of NDSU, SDSU, UNI, USD, UND. I'm sure whomever misses 2 of the 3 of NDSU, SDSU, and UNI would absolutely love that.

Yeah, there are still plenty of people complaining about it. Not sure why. It makes way more sense from a travel and rivalry standpoint. I have enjoyed watching some of the Big Sky competition. MT is always solid. Weber is a perennial power. I think people will adjust quickly. Just need to get to know the new competition and their players.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
I'm all for UND in the Summit, but I'm not a fan of them joining the MVFC.
-
Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
It makes sense to have them in the Summit, but MVFC no need for them.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Tired of always having to take care of little brother.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
I hope MVFC seriously considers going to a 9 game conference schedule. You'd still have 3 non-cons ever other year, and gives you another solid home game ever other year. Price of B1G being poops and assures we continue to only miss one team.
-
Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
With one team moving, both the Big Sky and MVFC get worse. LOL.

That was going to be my question. Are we going to be stuck with these teams all the time?

If I remember correctly, the next allowable 12 game season isn't until 2020 something. Certainly not every other year.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
The way I see it we have 3 years to get our shit together and go FBS. At this point I don't care if it's the fricking Sunbelt as long as UND isn't there. Keep the rest of our sports in the Summit.

If you were running the conference is there any chance you'd allow a scheduling regime where teams under 450 miles apart don't play each other every year?

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Why? They abandoned us. Why let them join us? We made our way while they scorned us. I cannot believe this is happening. A bunch of me toos. Both conferences and SU does not need them. I admit that I am old school and remember all the slights those assholes put on us. I really don't see any advantage for SU.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Over/under on hours until SiouxVolley "theorizes" that the WAC is going to invite a combination of teams from the MVFC / Summit (and Wichita St) to join the conference and go FBS?

The conference does need them. There's a real chance YSU leaves. They're already the most geographically isolated so if that domino falls the conference actually gets more compact by adding UND and subtracting YSU.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
9 is better than 10 or 11...

Correction, just eliminate 1 non-conf game each year. That non-conf game would alternate if a home or away being cut.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
When the MVFC vote leaks it would be wise for NDSU to be in the 'yes' column... Unless it fails by at least 2 votes.

No they don't need them. There is no need for und anywhere.

This made me laugh, but I'm sure there will be a detailed theory in the next 24 hours.

Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Gotta say that this is great news for the Summit. Totally stable now but they need to add baseball.
Not sure what to think about the MVFC
-
Re: UND to join Summit/MVFC
Really great news? How can that be? Und has been screwing SU for 70 plus years in fund distribution by the state. When we had the wisdom to go D1, they not only cancelled their SU schedules but openly rooted for our failure. When failure failed, the started their me too act. I cannot believe any SU fan would welcome these assholes in our conferences. I realize I am beating a dead horse so there will be no more ranting on this topic by me.

Still time to contact your president and urge him to vote No.
