Murray State to be added to Missouri Valley Football Conference

[The_Sicatoka]

Yea, just like Roger Thomas calling a press conference to announce un_ wouldn't play NDSU when we went D1.

That was poor form by RT (and by his boss allowing it).

The good news? The new UND president (Armacost) was smart enough to give the "respect the private vote" answer to McFeely.

Why are so sensitive?

You know the old saying,
Belong in one had and shxt in the other. see which fills up first

Fixed your username for you eh..

Yeah it's pretty common for leadership of apathetic organizations to be free from expectations of explaining their actions.

Not like the Valley is going to kick us out for going public with our opinion on Murray State's lack of competitiveness. Even if they did it probably plays into our hands. Generate hype by getting "St. Thomased" out of our conference into a move up to FBS. Win-Win

It's almost like NDSU's AD decided that NDSU's constituents' right to know something outweighed the MVFC's desire to keep stuff secret. UND made the opposite determination. I don't care as long as the MVFC doesn't put a UND person on the playoff selection committee before NDSU leaves.

It would be nice if our AD would decide to let us know what he's doing about moving up to FBS. It's really odd what they keep secret and what they announce to the public

Yup... you'd think they'd do one of those "feasibility" studies about moving up... at least that would signal some interest that we are interested

What would you like him to do publicly that you think would help get NDSU into an FBS conference? Every time Chapo talks about this, it sounds like he wants our AD to go around from conference to conference in a clown car to put on a "You want the Bison" traveling show.

Just about every time a conference adds a new member, we hear about the day that the new member is announced - unless there are site visits first (and that usually means it's a done deal.) And I don't think that FBS conferences even do site visits because they know what's out there.

I've got no problem with a feasibility study though. As far as I'm concerned there are only two options: MAC and MWC, and those are all-sports conferences.

I just want Matt Larsen to come clean and tell us what's he's actually TRIED to accomplish with going FBS. That's the least he can do for us. Tell us who's he contacted and tell us why he "supposedly" avoided contacting CUSA. A little honesty would go a long ways. Has Larsen done anything or nothing?
