Sure moving to larger conference and possible bigger paydays. MVC for basketball will be trending downward and continue that direction.
Can someone explain why ISU-r is considered a good MVC team??? According to Wikipedia they haven't been to the tournament since 1998. They have had some good seasons, but nothing great until this year. And they were snubbed by the selection committee. Sure they are a nice team/program by mid-major standards, but if that is one of the best the MVC has to offer, YIKES.

Funding/attendance/competitiveness
I believe in the last 20 years, it has primarily been ISUr or WSU who have won the MVC All Sports Trophy. They just haven't got over the hump in basketball.

Makes sense I guess. Like Augustana of the NCC, I bet they get over the hump once all the good teams are gone...

I'd murder a homeless man if it got NDSU into the Valley.

I think people want to assume the next batch rises to the top.
Creighton > Wichita > UNI > Illinois State
Kind of like how UND became the dominate NCC team after Ndsu, Northern Colorado, USD/SDSU left
Re: Poll: XDSU's to the MVC or stay in the Summit
They had the Illinois State beat writer in The Brakedown and it's the same garbage. I don't think they would want to be traveling to the Dakota's in the winter. Really? If they were talking about adding the University of Minnesota or q Wisconsin school would they be saying that? No it's total garbage. How many times in NDSU basketball history has a team not been able to travel to a game? Like never. Seriously... We have an airport 5 freaking minutes from the stadium. We are located at the intersection of 2 interstate highways. These guys talk like we're located in Walhalla North Dakota. Besides if they want a bus league the conference isn't as strong as they think.
Oh.. And it's funny because nobody wants to travel to Iowa or Illinois in the winter either.

It's not the thought of traveling in the Dakotas that worries them, it's the thought of losing in the Dakotas.
