In what way did the MVC swallow UND and USD? MVFC wanted those schools and the summit swallowed them. The MVC has never added a school from the MVFC, the only ones who are MVFC and MVC were already memebers of the MVC before the creation of the MVFC. It's been almost 15 years since the MVFC was created and not one MVFC school has been added to the MVC.

Sorry, just had a bad morning.
NDSU shouldve said. We will vote YES for a HOME & HOME basketball series every single year
Sun Bison correct. Patty V & Tom Doupler are clowns.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
I like turtles!!
He meant the MVC members of the MVFC held their noses and swallowed USD and UND when the Summit members of the MVFC asked for them to be added. The Summit needed a home for USD football in order to keep them away from the Big Sky. Without at least USD, there was real doubt about the survival of the Summit. If the Summit had fallen apart, the Big Sky could have offered a home for NDSU and SDSU and those two would have had a hard time saying no. That would have killed the Summit, and forced WIU to beg for an OVC invite. The loss of NDSU, SDSU & WIU football would have seriously hurt the MVFC. When this was all explained to the MVC members in a series of desperate weekend phone calls, the MVC members agreed to allow USD to join. That killed the Big Sky's plan and eventually left UND asking to join the other Dakota 3. Probably for political reasons more than anything else, the Dakota 3(and maybe WIU) once again asked for a (soon to be) Summit school to be let into the MVFC. They once again held their nose and said yes. Is it really so outrageous for the MVC members to ask for a similar agreement when they now need a football home for one of their new members?
No, it's not. But the MVC schools letting USD and UND in was a bit of self-preservation on their part. What exactly are the Summit schools getting out of admitting Murray State to the MVFC? Nothing. It's also pretty telling that none of us are good enough to be considered for the precious MVC but they have no problem sniffing around and flirting with the likes of UMKC and UNO from the Summit and you know dang well they will be all over St. Thomas before too long. It's kind of becoming a toxic relationship with the MVC. The Dakota schools aren't good enough for the MVC yet then resent us for taking over the top half of the football conference.

And, don’t believe everything you think—jussayin’.
Liberals of BV need not respond to my posts. I don’t need to get any more dumb.
Wow, open your mind just a little. How did adding usd/Und to the MVFC benefit the MVC? It didn’t, at all. MVC preservation? No, not one iota.
The summit got its way with usd/Und over the MVC, and now the MVC is getting their way over the Summit. No, Murray doesn’t benefit the Summit teams at all. And neither did additional Dakota adds benefit the MVC, at all (all relative to football)
