    Re: Summit Expansion?

    I know you're not really serious, but please no. As an Augie fan, I have no desire to go through that mess again. It's been made clear the Summit isn't interested. If you all end up a team short in...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Based on how poorly the D1 attempt went for us last time, I'm not really all that in favor of it anymore. For one, it killed men's basketball's recruiting for 2-3 years when our future was in limbo...

    I am willing to bet this will happen much sooner than most Summit League fans are expecting.

    I have no idea if they are or aren't exploring the WAC. If they are, I would for the most part be fine with that, as I personally feel like both our men's and women's basketball teams at least would...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Recognizing that everyone not connected to Augustana appears to be happy with this, I'm not going to go too far out of my way to convince anyone that the Summit made a bad decision.

    That being...

    Now you've gotten to a handful of points I actually agree with (or can at least understand your perspective on a little bit better), which I appreciate.

    Real quick though, regarding me throwing a...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Hey, great input. You bring up good points. Augie should stop aspiring to be better and be happy settling for obscurity.

    Also, excellent work on ignoring the question I have directly asked you...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    Sure. So two quick thoughts on that:

    1) It makes sense that an inferiority complex comes through. My post was literally about how Augie is becoming increasingly inferior to the D1 schools and why...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    I'm not sure if you're an NDSU fan or a USD/SDSU fan. If you're an NDSU fan, it's possible you don't remember that, while there were a number of people who saw value in USD and SDSU going D1, there...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    You're still not answering my question. If corporations see more value in sponsoring Augie than the Dakota 4, wouldn't that be an indication that Augie at least deserves to be part of this...

    Oh, I totally understand what you're saying and I don't disagree. I was just replying to Vet70's comment about Sanford throwing out money like candy (paraphrasing).

    Then why is anyone concerned about losing their piece of the pie?

    Side note: the University of Minnesota can tell you firsthand that's not entirely accurate.

    I misunderstood his implication. I thought he was trying to say that Augustana's inclusion would take away funds from the Summit League itself as a conference. Not that it would take away from the...

    Re: Summit Expansion?

    These are all fair points. Still not sure I'm seeing/following where the siphoning funds comment comes into play. If we can't afford things or can't fund things, does the Summit have to make up that...

    I can't speak for everyone connected to Augie, but I for one sure feel awful about it. Knowing that it really bothers USD and SDSU fans riddles me with guilt, and I sincerely hope we don't try to...

    From everything I've read and heard in radio interviews, at least one of SDSU/USD's larger corporate sponsors, if not their largest, appears to have a strong interest in bringing Augie to Division I...

    If they end up getting a waiver to go straight to D1, it definitely would present a new challenge for Augie. Part of the appeal of joining the Summit as an Augie fan is knowing we would be a private...
