Poll: XDSU's to the MVC or stay in the Summit

Interesting take

I was shocked to find that nowhere on that list was the prestigious SDSU basketball program mentioned!

First reason mentioned for adding NDSU... rabid fanbase.

Here's a really interesting take. Makes most sense

Ndsu and Sdsu would be direct threats to all of those schools

Yep. Not short term but inevitably we will. I'll just say this. It UNI can be very successful in a state where they play 3rd fiddle - The Dakota schools have just as much or more upside. We haven't even scratched the surface of what we could be. Just wait until we start packing the SHAC every night and all the seats can gain us significant Teammakers revenue. That's when we will really start to meet our full potential. The same is true for all the Dakota schools.

I wonder if it'll ever happen. Has anything taken place to indicate NDSU will ever "pack the SHAC?" Could happen, just not gonna count on it. I thought they would this year, didn't come remotely close unfortunately.

We lead the conference in attendance and averaged over 4200 vs D1 competition. Not too bad for a schedule of many Wednesday and Thursday games.

Place holds like 5700. Long ways to go to "pack" it.

Exactly so lots of potential to generate way more revenue. Ultimately we would want it to be mostly season tickets too with TM dues. Pack the place and it's huge financial gain for the athletic department.

I suppose it does make sense to most people outside of Fargo. But if it goes down that way and we're stuck in an MVFC with Murray State and with NDSU/Summit schools having diluted voting power, and we're still in the Summit for other sports, I hope we don't sit for that. I hope we go FBS in football at that point and tell the MVC schools that passed us over to F-off. I'd even go independent in FBS football. Heck there's enough of those out there that we'd have little trouble finding opponents.

I like the optimism. Hope it comes to pass.
