MVFC Expansion

That's what I was thinking. If all parties played their cards right we might have gotten the BSC to pay the MVC a million or two to take UND off their hands

That would have made for a great movie.

That's pretty funny, we probably showed our cards to early. There definitely was no bus in those road trips, so it was costing every kerosene.

My understanding is there was a bus ride to hector most road games

Agree with that, and then another bus ride on the other end. It's the kerosene that costs the bucks. By the way, would perth be like in Perth Township?

Sounds like Missouri State is looking for ways to cut $750k from their budget. The MVFC might very well stay at 10 teams or less....

They have a big investment into their football stadium renovation...Doubtful they drop that program.

May not drop it completely but could go non-schollie

Missouri State is already at the minimum Men's Sports for FCS (six). Depending on their Title IX compliancy, they might have to cut one of their 11 Women's Sports, or substitute a Men's Sport with a cheaper one.

$750,000 is a lot of money, but should be fairly easy to work-out in the budgeting process. Missouri State has a bigger budget than NDSU's at $25 million. About $16 million is subsidized by the school. 2015 was the first year I could find on record that they receive funds from Student Fees ($3.5 million). My guess, they increase ticket prices (or drop them to increase demand) or increase Student Fees at a small rate.

MSU, ISUb, WIU all suck. get em out of here. They either suck completely, or have facilities indistinguishable from a crappy high school, or both. (not purple at all)

Add St Johns, St Thomas, Sioux Falls, UW Whitewater, UW Oshkosh, and UMDuluth and have a 14 team super conference!!
