"The University of North Dakota will not be able to get into The Summit League athletic conference’s 2011-2012 schedule, President Robert Kelley said Tuesday."

"Now that it’s clearly too late for 2011-2012, that doesn’t necessarily mean UND can just wait around until the Nov. 30 deadline, according to Kelley. Other universities want to join The Summit League, too, and it’s not clear the league would want to expand beyond adding one more member, he said."

At this time this is the best thing that could happen. Let the Nickname thing run its course, let them decide what they are going to do with it. Otherwise if they succeed in pushing dropping the nickname through just to get into the Summit league all we will hear from now till the end of time is that "It is the Summit leagues fault we lost our nickname".

Let UND get its business and house in order with the NCAA then take a look at their application. This is a UND vs. NCAA fight not a UND appeasing the Summit fight.

If someone (UND) was having a fight with your(Summit) boss (NCAA) would you hire that someone to have a position under you before the fight with your boss was over? Not if you wanted to stay in good standing with the boss.

from the inforum comments:

Is the Summit League really that good? UND would instantly have the best facilities in the conference in it's first year and most Division 1 national titles. The title reads correctly David S, "Summit League will have to wait another year for UND"

this Dipsh!t couldn't even name a team other thatn NDSU and SDSU in the Conference

and another from the Bismarck Tribune:

No idea way UND would want to be in such a league anyway. The summit league is like the armpit of division 1 in NCAA. The only sport that makes UND money anyway is there hockey which would not even be apart of the summit league as hockey has their own leagues. Personally I think that UND should try for another league.... Why play NDSU and SDSU in league and ruin the rivalry by over playing them when you get to schedule so many non league games? I know they want to keep travel close (The Summit league is all over) but maybe they should try and gain acceptance for the Horizon League which all teams are in the vicinity of each other. They make it sound like UND has to be in the Summit league and the do not!

this one is even funnier the HORIZON LOL, notice the awesome spelling

What facilities would those be? They don't control any - hockey they rent, bb they rent, vb they rent - fb they rent - baseball they share a bad legion field. They have crappy coaches offices.

IMO, its a good Legion field, but a crappy college field!

He's got a point. Why don't they just join the Horizon league anyway. Better yet, just join Big 10. They already play Big 10 teams in hockey so it should be easy for them.

/seriously I wish I could punch people through my computer.

UND could still be admitted to the Summit - they just won't be on the schedule for another extra year.
