    Do Mo St or UNI think it would be worth it to leave a superior BB conference for the summit? Can drake afford the move?

    The summit has to do something, add a school or add a sport. St Thomas could be offered a FB or hockey membership if needed.

    UNI would drop their football program before they subject their sacred cow of a men's basketball program to slumming in the depths of the Summit League. I suspect Missouri St wouldn't let their football program dictate their conference affiliation unless/until it means going FBS.

    So we are stuck with northern Colorado, pioneer league, and D2 teams?

    Pretty much. Minnesota State is by far the best fit if they are willing to pony up. I'm not sure Denver is on board with adding Northern Colorado either. If we could add Lindenwood they would be a no brainer. Either way, we have to get out of this conference.

    Based on news from SCSU, the MnSCU system is not exactly "cash flush" right now to have a member move to DI.

    Minnesota will always feed "Goldie" first, then Duluth, based on starting with "UM" vs ending with "SU" (like SCSU).

    St Cloud, just a flat NO. No money.

    Mankato would need to cut deep to go DI, and it would be painful. Football would either be a drop or non-scolly at best. They’d have to cut to the minimum 14. But to be relevant, I’m sure they are thinking about it. To be honest, I don’t think they want to have to compete with deep pocketed UST.

    Duluth, when I think of the worst places to get to, this town certainly comes to mind not unlike GF. But they would possibly be in the best financial situation of the DII MN’s. I think being a UM vs SU makes it a NO however. The state would more easily swallow a SU.

    Imagine the MVC taking ORU:
    - basketball
    - baseball
    - back into Tulsa market
    - dagger to Summit (down to 4 soccer, 5 baseball)

    Same would hold for the WAC.

    Chapo has a plan; he'd ride in on a white horse and present it to StonyB for enactment.
