    If the league added NDSU and SDSU I would be all for it but I doubt the private schools would let that happen. Seems like the league is stuck on replacing one private with a private or one public with a public, no rocking the boat at all.

    A decade ago the MVC could have really leveraged its brand and success but they didn't and are now paying for it.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Belmont should have decent shot.

    Would be happy to be affiliated with UNI, MoState, ISUb, ISUr; zero interest in the private schools.

    The public MVC schools can join the Summit.
    I would love to have Drake added to the above.

    Won't happen, but talk about day late and a dollar short.
    I think they should let every football team into the conference. NDSU, SDSU, USD, UND, Western Illinois
    At least 3 of those teams are very committed to mens basketball and bring a lot to the table including new facilities, great rivals, solid attendance, and some great programs in all the sports. Really good womens basketball teams (USD won the WINIT), built in attendance draws with rivals, travel partners, great softball and track & field. Western Illinois is total garbage though and UND needs to improve their basketball facilities

    Not sure why they are scared. The public teams are having huge budget issues. That includes UNI, Misery State, Illinois State, etc.. The Summit Teams have a better chance of blossoming into a great team than say.. Valpo.

    Yeah it was. Apparently the private schools like to bleep each others bleeps. They add nothing to the conference except a team that will never be pouched by a power 5 school because nobody wants them. Now... the top 2 schools in the conference will be... drum roll... public schools!

    The odds of one of the Dakota Schools taking their program to the next level is a hundred times greater than Loyola

    Btw, in my basketball survey I stated they need to push for better competition and shoot for a higher conference preferably the MVC as then basketball would play the same schools as football and spark more cross sport fan interest. Bet I wasn't the only one

    I wouldn't want anything to do with the MVC and those privates. The Summit will be passing the MVC in the not so distant future. Without Wichita State, UNI and ISUr that conference is garbage.
