Posted: February 26th, 2018, 1:08 pmI've long been an advocate for SDSU and NDSU into the MVC. But that ship has sailed. Should have added them back before Creighton left. Now they got their gang together. Don't really care for Loyola or Valparasio either. But they are what they are, Bradley having too much power in the league.

He has said some outstanding stuff, but I think a dark horse people have glossed over is that he suggested that UND dropped baseball specifically to force the Summit League to expand. It is a hidden gem, but very solid nonetheless.
Montana, Montana St, Idaho and Weber St are coming to the Summit. Almost positive of it. The Montana’s are sick and tired of the slug commuter schools in the Big Sigh not caring about athletics and not having fan bases. ORU, W Illinois, and IPFW will have to find new homes, but the Summit will find ecstacy in its new found partners. It will be a league that will supercede the MVC.
UND’s prez is almost a master at playing a game where he suddenly springs a wonderful surprise. He could have easily saved baseball if he knew the Summit was going to trudge along in the same old way. The Summit needs a baseball team but UND drops it. But if football becomes a conference sport, suddenly it’s not needed. Right now, the Summit is on its deathbed when IPFW leaves and it baseball team goes with it.
What is delusional is that most posters here believe the MVC will return as a two bid league.
So, just to make sure we are clear, in your universe this scene is playing out in real life.
Setting: Summit League Offices
SL Commissioner: Gentlemen, we have a problem. Fort Wayne left the league to join the Horizon
Gasps are heard
SL Commissioner: Yes, I know. And it gets worse. As much as we don't want to do this......I think our only option right now, since Fort Wayne left and we are now one baseball school short, is to drop baseball as a league sport entirely, change our entire direction and mission as a league, add four new schools, and start sponsoring football.
Shrieks and gasps of "NO" are heard in the background.
SL Commissioner: I know. If only we had one more baseball program from our current membership.
North Dakota President sitting in the shadowy corner starts laughing manically.
My point is, if the Dakota schools and Montanas ever joined up and formed a football conference, it would not be because they were forced to because North Dakota dropped baseball. And it would not have much of an impact on the MVC either.

When UND dropped baseball, it sent a message to IPFW, Western Illinois, and ORU to look for a new conference. Pretty simple. UND is trying to clear out the scrub brush and bring in the western timber. NDSU and SDSU will try to get baseball spots in the MVC. If they are rejected, surely the Horizon will take them.

Haha, dude. You are a treasure.
Re: Updated 1/6/18: MVC Expansion Poll
Posted: February 27th, 2018, 7:42 pmWhy is he on here saying UND wouldn't come to the MVC. They have never even been an option. Only state has been mentioned. Maybe he's just jealous and trying to get his college a look.
