Iupui receives horizon invite

I'd rather the Summit not go east anymore. Just another waiting game for them to find a better conference again. Summit should stick to the I29 corridor and west IMO.

I totally agree with this.

Could lose UND and/or USD. Any other school creates problems for baseball and/or men's soccer.

Denver: MSoc
IPFW: BB, MSoc
NDSU: BB
UNO: BB, MSoc
ORU: BB, MSoc
SDSU: BB
WIU: BB, MSoc

EIU: MSoc (associate member)


Easiest solution? Trade IPFW(BB, MSoc) for UNC(BB) and UMKC(MSoc). Only maintains the status quo, but at least it does that. Helps travel a bit and creates an opportunity for Summit football if a nuclear option is needed in the future.

Travel Partners
DU/UNC - 60mi (1:20hr)
NDSU/UND - 75mi (1:15hr)
SDSU/USD - 115mi (1:45hr)
UNO/UMKC - 189 mi
ORU-GCU - 1060 mi

Fixed it......

Sounds like Horizon will look to expand next year to as they want to get 12 teams. WHo else besides IPFW can we dump off to them? Maybe they will take WIU and UNO out of the Summit.

Dump UNO? If the Summit loses Omaha, you can just about stick a fork in the conference.

Honestly, I want absolutely nothing to do with GCU.

With no vision of a direction....

Western isn't going anywhere

But everyone will have what they want....4 Dakota schools and garbage

Umkc doesn't want back. This was the best team to lose considering it doesn't affect other sports.

How many more team's can the Summit lose before we lose our auto bid? 2 years down the road is going to be VERY interesting.

There was an article out of KC not too long ago that said travel in the WAC was killing them and they need to pursue Midwest options. With Chicago State on its deathbed they are going to be way out on an island.
