Augie's head cheerleader is out of the job at Sanford...That is a shame.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Not that the Summit needs new teams right now, but if WIU left, could UCA be an option now that the Southland has imploded? I know there is talk of them moving to the Atlantic Sun, but if that does not pan out, would UCA ever be on the table? They are another Southern baseball school only 3.5 hrs from Oral Roberts, so they could make ORU happier and it could help with conference stability/reduce the threat of ORU leaving, plus it would be good for Summit baseball in the spring. They are also within driving distance to UMKC at 5.5 hours. Unlikely for it to happen, but if the Summit ever did need to add football, they have a decent program there as well.
Just wanted to throw them out there, because there has always been the idea that UNC could be a fill in if WIU ever leaves, but I have never seen UCA mentioned. They do have a smaller budget, but I'm just curious what you guys thoughts would be on this. And would UCA have any interest? Their football team could play in a football only conference or maybe as an affiliate in the southland or somewhere else.

Didn't want to start a while new thrwead and it's tangentially related I guess.
Rumors MVC is looking to expand and has looked at schools in TX, CO and Tennessee.
Also mentioned among other conferences they may look to poach from is the Summit and to look at schools that are close to a major market. Not for eyeballs but because the MVC schools see value in getting their brand in larger markets that export students. As in a lot of students leave that area to go to college. It's not about recruiting athletes. It's about recruiting students from other markets.

Fat chance they look at the DSU's. We're way too below them in their eyes.
The way it sounded is that the idea was to look for school is major metro areas so I doubt the DSU's are even on that radar.
Already going to lose St Thomas
