    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Ah, misread your post. Yeah, that would be a reason to have it there in that situation. My mistake.

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Would have to be a hell of a guarantee for either school to give up the home gate for that. Even if they were willing, they make a lot more playing actual destination games in actual NHL arenas.

    That's what happens when your enrollment tanks and the President doesn't have a real great vision of the future higher education.
    But that is also a completely separate discussion than where and how...

    The data on competitive vs. non-competitive grants is all publicly available. Feel free to peruse by yourself. Historically, the difference in total research funding/spending between NDSU and UND is...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    The reason that it isn't a bigger deal is because the large majority of the funds aren't from competitive grants, which is the metric that is most looked at, but instead propped up by state mandated...

    The good news is that no one is asking/requiring NDSU to add hockey.
    What is being floated is a possible situation that benefits the conference (aka keeps it alive in the event someone leaves) that...

    I agree. And the plan wouldn't be for them to move anything outside of football, which would be affiliate members of a hypothetical Summit league instead of a single sport conference (MVFC).
    And...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    If the Summit schools pull their football team out of the MVFC, where exactly do you think the MVC publics are going to put their football team? It would change very little for them.
    I believe the...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    To a point, but I think you are understating the recruiting angle appeal that comes along with those big "TV markets", which coincidentally also tend to be much more fertile recruiting grounds.
    They...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    I'm sure that it varies from provider to provider, but if you stick the B1G into the "sports pack" or any additional package, you then pass that cost on directly to the consumer. I know Midco has the...

    Agreed that ratings might not be the driver but to pretend that media market concept is obsolete is way off. By adding Rutgers (and Maryland), the B1G was able to get the cable companies all along...

    Doubleheaders would be nice if they can pull them off for NDSU/UND and SDSU/USD, but otherwise they need to move towards mirror scheduling with games on Thursday/Saturday. If it is anything like last...

    If you don't think that is a managed number and it doesn't show basically whatever they want it to by the end of the year, then I don't know how to help you. Being "in the black" means your athletic...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Just like NDSU and 95% of the NCAA. There were 13 schools who were in the black last year and another two dozen that were 5% or less of their total revenue from doing the same. NDSU is a long way...

    If you aren't self-sustaining, then you aren't in the black. Math isn't that hard.

    They are in the black? Not a chance. While in better position than many schools, NDSU athletics is far from self-sustaining. If and, NDSU doesn't have much room to cut sports, their cuts came from...

    UMKC would be interesting. The WAC made a handful of concessions when they joined (paid Summit exit fee, waived WAC entrance fee and moved basketball tourney to KC).
