    Does this mean it's NDSU to the valley, UND to Summit as replacement

    I assumed for their up and coming *football* program. Is AAC really a step up from the MVC?

    The MVC would only want us when we no longer want them. Lose of Creighton, loss of WSU,...

    Would be fun to be in 'the' mid-major conference. But the MVC is for the most part a bus conference, and has a lot of vocal private members.

    The Summit is a better basketball league than the MVC without Wichita. That might even break them.

    I don't think so but it's closer. But in terms of regular season attendance and exposure, the MVC is way better

    It has been and might be for a couple more years, but with losing the really good teams from there attendance and exposure will start to drop.

    I don't know. Our record vs MVC teams kind of sucks and Misery State curb stomped is. UNI curb stomped SDSU by 30 and we're both top Summit teams. I think were a middle of the pack MVC team and would take time to build to the level of the MVC... Kind of like it did in football
