Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
As we discuss the ridiculous. I don't think a league with NDSU and SDSU needs to worry about an autobid.

If the MVC takes in Valpo and UWMilw from the Horizon, I'd expect the Horizon to go after IUPUI and IPFW*. That creates Summit troubles.
And if the MVC takes two, I'd expect a third to make 12 for them.
Do they want Murray State (and have to deal with its FB program) or another BB only in Omaha (more Summit troubles)?
*Or is it PUFW?

NDSU Athletics: oderint dum metuant
I'll tell you this much. Outside of hockey, the 4 Dakota schools share similar goals and are pretty solid programs who WANT to invest in facilities and strengthen the core programs. (yep even UND with dropping womens hockey to commit to revenue sports) We all WANT to play good teams and compete against good programs. We all WANT to increase our budgets and put together good programs.
Reality is nothing is going to happen unless we stick together. Whether it's just a crappy version of the Summit, a Big Sky east, all of us going to the WAC, or going FBS which is what most of us want...

I think if the Dak 4 could get the Montana's and Idaho's on board we could have a new conference. Question is how does forming a new conference work? What are the legalities with autobids and such?
Hell maybe we get siouxvolley to head the conference? FBS even, WAC BABY LET'S ROLL!
Seems like kind of a joke, but this western conference we are all talking about would more than likely end up at the "2nd level" once the P5 split happens. In effect, we are talking about a powerful G5/high mid-major conference.
I have no idea why the Montanas would not want in on this action. I'm excited just thinking about the possibility. This conference would carve up the West and be a solid 3rd conference behind the PAC and MWC. Might even rival the MWC someday, given enough time.
