    Could be true, but IMO the writer loses credibility when he says that we're already in the MVC for football. The MVFC is a separate entity...

    I dunno, I agree the MVC is better for basketball but the Summit has been good to us, and nobody seems to be talking about the other sports. How do they compare? What would it mean for T&F, Softball, and Baseball?

    And I find it hard to believe NDSU would seriously consider the MVC without a Dakota partner as that report states. That would be UND-type thinking.

    Eventually it won't exist after the other conferences poach all the teams so we would be a step ahead of the game.

    While I love the tourney in Sioux falls, probably keeps SDSU from moving with us. Damn

    Did I miss the invite? I thought the meeting wasn't until the weekend.

    Track is clearly not competing in the right conference (http://www.gobison.com/) and I suspect the same is true of softball. I’ve been on planes coming into Fargo carrying other Summit teams and I’ve chatted the athletes. They openly complain that NDSU is too good to be in the Summit and it is demoralizing.

    I like the idea of competing with more of the MVFC teams in BB, but I also understand that change is hard and risk is scary. However, if an MVC invite comes – and I am skeptical that it will – it would be hard to turn down.

    If NDSU/SDSU jump together, it becomes an absolute no-brainer.

    So when does the amendment come from the legislature trying to say NDSU can't go anywhere without moving with UND. They only have a few days left to try and slip it in.
