D'oh D'oh D'oh. I'll fix that.

The last panel is supposed to be "Galaxy Brain"... there are very few that make sense so I picked the first one.

You might recognize the meme format:

Anyway, WIU leaving could be a win-win - and gosh knows that WIU could use a win, and nobody is...

I'm guessing it's Judy MacLeod of Conference USA.

You'd think it would be UMKC but the plural on "school" and emphasis on "really" puts an interesting spin on that.

Yeah, parents and family can get to a lot of NDSU away games now. They'd have to fly to get to any MWC away games. MAC games would be easier to get to for a lot of them.

I used to hate the idea of...

UCA does have baseball so that's a plus.

You called it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up going like this:

1. St. Thomas asks for a waiver and gets one.
2. The NCAA votes no on allowing D3s to move up in April 2021.

Hey, we've been in Augustana's shoes before so I, for one, feel your pain. The hard thing is being so powerless. If it's the right decision in the long term, you just have to keep chugging along.
...

Tough break for Augustana but, serisously, never saw the advantage of a low-budget private in a media area that the conference already blankets.

Research is a primary reason for universities to exist and NDSU has always believed this. That's probably why we don't put scare quotes around the word.

If Augie joins, then it's probably better that they have money than the other way around. Don't want them anywhere near the MVFC myself though. Summit? Like you said, they are going to take a slice...

On the plus side, they have baseball. On the minus side, UNC would be a gamble so Denver would have to be really, really committed to the Summit and supportive of their inclusion for that to work....

The more I think about it: If we have to add a private school, try for St. Thomas.

St. Thomas has about 5x Augie's enrollment, 10x their endowment, and they'd strengthen a market The Summit has a...

Augi to the MIAC, St. Thomas to the Summit?

And, just to be clear, just because I agree with somebody on a topic, it does not mean that I do not hate them (because I probably do.) In fact, I'm more likely to like a poster if I disagree with...

I can't speak for what SDSU, NDSU, and USD think and don't care what UND thinks. Guessing: NDSU wants WIU in the Summit because the folks running NDSU aren't idiots. When it comes to being Division...

Hey, some people like the constant drama.

Sounds like Elon might be leaving the SoCon for the CAA too.

And I think that they'd rather be in a conference full of private schools.

Yeah, I wouldn't put the popcorn away yet. There's the June vote. If that passes, it may or may not be ruled unconstitutional. And that's in no way certain. Of course, if the ballot deal doesn't...

Well, that, and nobody is using the name seeing as how they are extinct as a culture (kind of like the Vikings.)

NKU also beat NDSU in OT for a national championship (2000?)
