I too think they'd be an attractive candidate--especially as they build their resume. I'm guessing within the next three years, they'll win the Summit MBB tourney, and that will build even more...

I think we are already losing football fans and our AD appears to have secretly extended the contract of a mediocre basketball coach so that fans are none-the-wiser. Hence, I'm not sure crossing...

You could be right. I do think a highly successful basketball program could bring suiters from FBS conferences. The MWC was interested in Gonzaga and the AAC was obviously interested in Wichita...

They don't have the zoom recording posted yet and I couldn't attend in real time. What was Tidwell's take on the matter? And if you'd prefer I not hijack this thread with this question, I guess...

See, that's just it. I don't just cheer for the sport. I cheer (or don't cheer) for the school. I like hockey but won't cheer for UND. Go Gophers and MSU Mavericks! Never UND. Like, ever.

Since we are sticking with JV football, how about NDSU add hockey. We've got Scheel's arena. I'm good for two season tickets. Besides, I don't like UND having something we don't...

If this were to happen, I would apologize for all the eye-rolling I've ever directed toward your comments.

One thing I certainly agree with you about is basketball. I still think our highest...

yeah, possibly. But I think as an FBS team, plenty of folks would be happy to schedule us. We'd be a good win if they beat us and not a horrible loss if they lose. Teams would relish the chance to...

You had me at hello, but lost me at Big Sky before Independent. I'm ready for FBS independence now. Then the Summit can add whoever they want for additional stability, which would help our other...

They have a small arena. And not sure what Denver would think. I could get behind it if Denver was cool with it and we were unsuccessful luring any publics from the MVC into a new Summit with...

I'm glad it didn't happen now, but the MVC could really have stabilized itself by grabbing 2 or 4 of the Dakotas a couple years ago. The Dakotas would give you pretty solid basketball and solid fan...

I couldn't agree more. If those are the teams the MVC is adding, may we never join them. I was okay with adding UMKC as they were along I 29 and it helped out ORU and Omaha. But I still thought...

The MVC brand will be trash if they add UMKC, UIC and UT-Arlington. All three are commuter schools. No athletic following at all. Seriously, people will lose all respect for the MVC if they add...

Yeah, with that boost after the additions, then I guess I'd have to say you're correct. Although as a B1G fan, I've hated it. I have zero interest in Rutgers and MD. I'm barely at a place where I...

Do we know this to be true? I've lived in B1G country most of my adult life and the B1G was a premium package channel everywhere I lived. Just because it is being offered in NYC as a channel...

Good comments. I'm not surprised that the publics have stuck around in the MVC rather than create a new conference. As Herdbot noted, MVC still does have the history and some prestige. Of course,...

What's happening at Auggie? Are they still planning to go D1 in all sports?

Thanks for stopping by. I was unaware that the MVC would even give UT Arlington a sniff. They are in the UIC range for basketball prestige. If the MVC is thinking about them, then they've fallen...

I'm hoping you're right. I like Western Illinois as a school and as a league member. The Indiana schools are too far, but Macomb is fine. Western's membership could someday draw in another team...

I am definitely in favor of adding Grand Canyon. Even if that makes snooty Denver leave. GCU is and will continue to be a good basketball school with a big-time atmosphere. And it could possibly...

My guess is they'll join as IPFW is walking out the door. So it'll still be 10. And still 6 for baseball.

They bring baseball. That actually is something we need.

I'd be all in on this. Add Augie and UMKC, and also GCU and NMSU. Bribe the latter two with travel money if you have to. Extort the first two to pay for the bribe if need be. Or avoid the...

Wisconsin has four. And the fact that MN has one has always been, in my mind, a poor reflection on the state and its under-achieving and uninspiring state universities. That Mankato and St. Cloud...

When we go play a university of 2,500 students in their high school gym and lose, then can we talk about changing the direction of our men's basketball program? Please?
