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

[wow]

Don't forget the SLT has expenses.

Of course. Every conference tournament has expenses. That's why I said net. They also have sponsors who are writing checks every year.

If I remember Douple's statements correctly, almost all mid major conferences require payment from member schools on an annual basis just to operate. The Summit writes checks to member schools. The Summit League tournament is the reason why that is possible.

If you really think about it, SDSU fans and the Sioux Falls community subsidize the athletic budgets and programs of the entire Summit League in a pretty big way. NDSU fans should be thanking us, not crying about some perceived home court advantage.

Kind of how we subsidize your football program every other year.

Would SDSU being doing the same if the tournament was held in Fargo?

[wow]

Would my wife have a nicer car if I made twice as much money?

Doesn't matter, it isn't gonna happen.

This.

UND is a big basketball school

Huge! Will be shocked if they don't take over Sioux Falls in a couple years.

The city may even rename itself Sioux Forever, SD or Sioux Yaya, SD

Gary Rima from UNI. What a douche. Says UMKC would be a great fit and doesn't even mention NDSU or SDSU.

Explain to me. Give me 1 reason outside of a big market that they are completely irrelevant in... Can you name 1 thing that UMKC does better consistently than Ndsu or SDSU

Tradition. Fan support. Facilities. Attendance NCAA tournament appearances. National brand. Rivals. Their biggest moment in history is beating Green Bay in the CBI

UMKC kowtows athletically to UNI way better than NDSU (maybe SDSU too). Just the same scenario prior to NDSU getting into the MVFC when UNI worked hard to block the Bison's entry (but not SDSU). The Panthers are poor and NDSU's entry to the MVC for Men's Basketball will be a potential big blow to them being able to dominate the conference (now that Creighton and WSU are gone) without investing more money they don't have.

He was pretty douchy coming on an NDSU specific radio station and not even mentioning pros and cons of NDSU or any other Summit member and their chances of MVC invite. He saw what happened to UNI and their football "dominance" before and after NDSU joined the MVFC. If he needs any reminder, he knows where to look (above the infamous garage door). Probably realizes same thing could happen in basketball.

Some conferences want TV markets and could care less about true competitiveness or rivalries - think Maryland and Rutgers. Not sure that attitude really fits a conference with a minor TV deal. I seriously don't know where Belmont or Murray State are and probably never will. Also, more than a few people think Kansas City is in Kansas. Plus, anytime someone mentions Kansas and basketball they do not and probably will never think of UMKC. Valparaiso is pretty low on my radar too. Personally, I doubt NDSU gets much of a sniff from the MVC.

If these other schools you listed are the ones being considered and a lot of people feel the same as you do about those other schools, what does that say about our athletics program?
