Wichita State to the American Athletic Conference?

[1998braves64]

I think this is why UND ended up in the summit and mvfc, imo. These 4 were the core of ncc for decades. So getting them all in the same conference as much it was to many of our dismay, I believe it was these type of conversations between the dakota schools that this occurred. What happens next though is a bit of a mystery. I think dakota schools realized that none of them were going to get added to mvc any time soon. Not that they probably didn't try but it has been obvious from their recent additions that they were not going to seriously consider us.

Oddly I feel that the 4 dakota schools are going to be a lynch pin in something once things really start moving around with conferences for whatever reasons.

Looking forward to my anticipated neg rep from el chapo! Cause your little snide remarks you add just make me smile as I realize that you feel powerless about this whole NDSU thing.

Agree. I think the Dakota 4 schools will be a major player in the next reshuffling at the FCS (or whatever it becomes) level. We might even be the force that drives the conference reshuffling if our non-football sports are jeopardized. I just don't see state schools that are growing in stature the way we all are sitting around and taking whatever handouts are leftover.

Looks like "Valley watch" is about to be over...

Source confirms @valpoathletics likely to replace Wichita St as 10th member of The Valley. Valpo probable only addition. No vote/invite yet.

hmmmm...have to wonder if the crappy Murray St FB had something to do with it, face it they were a very POOR addition to the MVFC that doesn't need any more crap or teams

They were a horrible addition but I didn't think that would stop the MVC from doing whatever it wanted in the name of basketball.

I think the Valley does expansion in a bizarre way, kind of weird to have these campus visits and then you don't invite most of them.

Even if it ends here and nothing else happens I still think the Dakota 4 should pursue something bigger like the "Big North". We've seen exactly what the MVC schools think of us and don't really care if we end up in a crap situation. As long as they got theirs everything is fine. We need to pave our own way and not be pawns in their game anymore.

This. Those bastards in Peoria have been screwing with us too long.

I'm confused. Aren't you one of the guys that's been posting about how the Summit will overtake the MVC anyway?

Also, why would they care if the Dakota teams get left out to dry? Would you care if you were in their shoes?
