I sure hope there is a long range plan for the summit and mvfc. Not hearing or seeing the vision so far. Fingers crossed there is something big coming to sure up this conference.

The Green and The Gold Collective is excited to announce our #DriveToFive membership campaign. The goal of this campaign is to get to 500 monthly members. Reaching this goal will help us provide financial support to NDSU student athletes, including every returning member of the football team that saw action on the field last year!

There a wholly simple solution:
Disband the MVFC.
Yes, disband the MVFC.
Before heads explode ...
Re-form it in the Summit League by having the Summit offer football as a sponsored sport:
Full members (2020): UND, NDSU, USD, SDSU, WIU
Affilitates: UNI*, ISU*, ISU*, SIU*, MoSU*, YSU
Done.
The Summit would offer FB and MBB and secure their MBB autobid.
And this does zero damage to the MVC as the MVFC is not the MVC.
The MVC has enough sports and teams that their MBB autobid is in no jeopardy.
The Summit and MVC both keep MBB autobids (aka NCAA money).
And the "Summit FB" champ would get an FCS FB bid (the old MVFC bid).
Heck, you could even keep the "MVFC" name as a DBA. Officially it is Summit League football; but call it, trade name it, the "MVFC". The MVFC webpage would redirect to the Summit league FB page.
*MVC members.
The only problem is the MVFC doesn't need the Summit to survive so there's little incentive for them to do it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are you sure about that?
