The Great Plains Athletic Conference has nine member schools........one in Mitchell, SD(Dakota Wesleyan); one in St. Paul (Concordia) and the rest in Nebraska and Iowa. Why would they want to add an outlier member to add to their travel costs? The Iowa schools look to the central and east parts of the state for ooc games; Nebraska schools look south and into Kansas for theirs. It just doesn't make sense.
Edit: Oops , the Concordia school is not in St. Paul, but in Seward, Nebraska; my bad.
That the main question - what do the Nebraska teams think, and do they really want that travel? That is where they might not get approved when the vote comes up.
I've heard second and third hand that Jamestown coaches are not really in favor of this move either, but it is being driven by the people at the top.
As a Dickinson State alumnus, I find it disappointing. The North Dakota schools are good enough for almost 100 years, now this private school conference with a lot of travel looks better? I don't get it. Of course, I didn't get schools like South Dakota Tech (Mines), Black Hills State, and Minot St thinking they belong in D2 either.
I miss the old DAC-10 conference.
