Would you support NDSU moving to the MVC? (Poll)

[mvfcfan]

First and foremost I'll introduce myself. I am a fan of the Indiana State Sycamores and of the MVC.

There's been talk of the MVC going to 12 and I think that NDSU and SDSU would both be great adds to the MVC. You guys are already in the conference (MVFC) for football and have been since 2008. And if you are added you have to be added with South Dakota State, so that you have a travel partner no questions asked. No one from the MVC is going to go play basketball at Fargo in conference play without being able to play another team in the area. NDSU and SDSU are without question the best two schools from the Dakotas. UND and USD might be good adds in the future if they can prove that they can consistently be good.

I really don't think I need to go into too much detail on why I think you guys would be great adds. My biggest question is would the fanbase at NDSU support a move to the MVC. Now that all 4 Dakota schools are in the same conference and that your tournament is in Sioux Falls would you support such a move?

As a side note I would ignore most of the people on the MVCfans board. Most of them are just in favor of adding private or non-football public schools. Most people I have talked to in person about the MVC around where I live think that the XDSU schools are the best options for the MVC. And a lot of these people are primarily fans of the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, etc. NDSU and SDSU make the most sense to me because we then have 7 members that play all sports (football, basketball, and baseball).

I've started similar threads on the Northern Kentucky and Oral Roberts boards. I am going to start this thread on the SDSU board as well.

My official position on this is that I want NDSU and SDSU; or Murray State and Oral Roberts. I don't particularly have a preference, just as long as it is one or the other.

This is a no brainer.

I know that this poll hasn't been up for an hour yet, but the NDSU and SDSU polls are totally opposite right now.

On here it is 12-0 Yes and on SDSUfans.com it is 7-2 No. I find that kind of odd. SDSU must really like having that tournament in Sioux Falls is the only thing I can think of.

And NDSU really doesn't like the prospect of being in the same conference as UND next year.

Yes, the MVC is still a great option, still way ahead of the Summit.

I don't find it odd at all. You are talking about their precious meanwhile NDSU fans don't give a single damn about Sioux Falls.

I also find MVCfans very strange....Our RPI would be near the top of the MVC the past 5 or so years and we also won an NCAA tournament game, yet all they can do is babble about football whenever NDSU is brought up.

MVC is more stable and most teams would prefer it over the Summit. The Summit may not exist 10-15 years from now.

And for that reason, along with some great competition and build in rivalries.. This is a no brainer

Actually I don't think it would be a bad idea to add all 4 Dakota schools. That's 4 crazy awesome rivalries built in in a Great overall conference

[HerdBot]

That's a no brainer. Some people have this perception we are on some impossible to get to island and a small TV market which is wrong.

Ndsu is on 2 major interstate highways, has an airport a few miles from campus, is one of the fastest growing medium sized cities in the country, and has the 116th largest TV market and growing which is inbetween Youngstown and Eugene Oregon and 2 spots ahead of Peoria Bloomington

The MVC just isn't what it was without WSU and I'd rather not deal with the privates over there.

I'd prefer the MVFC schools in one conference.
