Iupui receives horizon invite

[Mr Meaty]

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.

2 sports. Unless football is added.

That's it! Summit League sponsors FB! Just move the MVFC under the Summit League banner and boom we are set. Won't affect anything but saves the Summit auto bid.

Here's a laughable web poll it's @bison1660

As a @NDSUmbb fan, where do you want @thesummitleague to focus in expansion?

Former NCC Schools
Mid Major teams elsewhere

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.

Undeniably.
However, the MVFC doesn't need the MVC to survive either. They are separate entities.

Such a move would be an act of goodwill by the MVFC members that are also MVC members.

Not exactly. Patty Viverito is proof enough.

She has nothing to do with the MVC. The MVC and MVFC are indeed separate entities.

Are you sure about that?

Ok they are still separate entities
