    There are plenty left, we call them mexicans. What do you get when you cross a spaniard and an aztec? A mexican.

    NKU going to the A-Sun. Probably figure that it's more of a fit for recruiting, geography (if not necessarily travel), less competition.

    UALR?

    Nope, they'd join the Southland(if they had to leave the Sun Belt) because the Summit makes no sense for them with ORU gone.

    MN State, SCSU or Bellarmine would be the candidates.

    MN State and SCSU would be good additions if they drop football ala UNO- !

    Ain't gonna happen. You're heck and gone from Creighton & UNI, and they're the closest schools to Fargo.

    Might as well make the best with what you've got. Neither NDSU nor SDSU are getting a sniff at the MVC unless its membership alters dramatically.

    They may get elbowed out of the Sun Belt. If they do, I'm sure they'd prefer the Southland, but the Southland may not be interested in adding a 13th or possibly 14th school, depending on what happens with the University of Northern Alabama.

    And I don't want Mankato or St. Cloud State going D-1 and neither should you or any other NDSU fan, that's one more school to recruit against. Bellarmine only has 3200 students. That's not much more than ORU, but I don't imagine that they'd have ORU's commitment to a strong athletic program.

    Frankly, there aren't many good alternatives here. Short of poaching Eastern Illinois (which would require coordination with the MVFC), it's an outlier or a transitioning D1 team.
