Summit Expansion?

[zooropa]

Assassinate other schools. Problem solved. (I've been playing alot of sid meier games lately)

Or you could blockade Indiana. There are two MVC schools in Indiana.

I would rather invite Winona

I would take Mankato a million times over Winona. Assuming Mankato drops football first.

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.

I'm kind of mixed on this, I think it would add more competition but it would also give the Summit better access into MN, outside of the Big 10 our league would be the only DI conference with a presence in MN.

That said I only want one, not both and football needs to be dropped or put into the Pioneer.

I don't think any MN schools will move to DI.

Since the WAC is dead maybe it is time to starting talking about Denver.....

Why?

They are 500 miles from the closest current member.

They should be in the Big Sky (and UND should be in the Summit...).

Logically yes, but conference affiliation isn't always logical. Heck Boise St. is a couple hours from the Pacific Ocean, but they will be in the Big East conference pretty soon.

They are a decent school and we are living in a world where finding attractive expansion candidates is difficult.

UND joining would be the best fit but short of UND getting booted from the Big Sky I don't see it happening anytime soon. With Oakland and maybe IUPUI looking at the Horizon the Summit needs another member and I'll take Denver over a MN DII school or Chicago State.

How much longer before Duluth moves to D1. They seem like the only real candidate that could be D1. I don't see Kato or St. Cloud making the move. Honestly, I hope they all stay in D2. UND will not be in the Summit, SDSU just said they would not play them unless they get the whole sue issue under control, and if UND gets the sue issue under control that means they will still be in the Big Sky. Lets just hope Chicago St. gets there act together and take them. Denver won't happen.
