Summit Expansion?

[tjbison]

Rumors of IPFW to the Horizon
Rumors of UAB to the MVC
Rumors of UMKC back to the Summit

What do you suppose this year will bring in conference changes?

Who should the Summit be trying to target, or better yet would possibly join

You know if IPFW leaves, IUPUI would be gone in a heart beat. So we need to make plans.

I would want New Mexico State. Bad geographic fit but it's an exciting name.

UMKC is a weak program but we need numbers and fill a need.

Other options? Chicago State or, ugh, UN_. The undies bring conference stability in numbers, good rivals with USD, SDSU, and NDSU, and a travel partner. Attendance would go up with rivals.

Chicago State is terrible but would be a good geographic rival for WIU.

Me too but don't want one without the other.

New Mexico st is exciting? I guess I don't think they would be a good fit except for Denver

NMSU? My opinion? Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. Geographic fit < zero. Absolutely terrible.

I doubt NMSU would want to join.

Travel is easy for Denver, they can fly easily into and out of Summit cities. That doesn't really work the same way for NMSU.

Yep. Get a map and a flight schedule if you think location isn't a problem. Same problem for NDSU if you're thinking the mvc is happening.

Fair point, but are the 2 Indiana schools much better for travel ? What about the Big Fluffy? Bus trips are for D2. (OK that was kind of lame but how many D1 Conferences bus to all their games?)
