  • UND to MVFC and Summit (no one really cares about the 2nd part)



    Somewhat surprising.

    Thoughts?

    This brings nothing to the MVFC. Terrible.

        Re: UND to MVFC?

        Most likely because the Summit needs them for some reason, and since most of the MVFC members are now in the Summit....we need to help them for the MVC's sake or something.

          How long until NDSU leaves? I'd rather have UND replace them than Drake.

          Maybe Northeast Missouri State or Pitt State (KS) will make a move to D1 at some point.

            Not likely to happen any time soon, barring some major restructuring of the football landscape.

            YSU leaving for an eastern conference or one of the underfunded programs dropping football entirely is more likely than NDSU leaving.

              Drake would never join, they don't offer scholarships.

                I know that. It was a comparison. I don't know the other teams in the Pioneer League but it's a possibility one could choose to offer scholarships and move to the MVFC.

                  This would look even more like the old North Central D II conference from the '60s-70s (my era!).

                  Pretty big conference for no divisions. (No conference title games in FCS.) Would be even further from a round-robin schedule.


                  We already have eastern members that have limits on their number of road trips to the Dakotas.

                    If anyone did leave we don't NEED to replace them.

                      Why would Youngstown, Indiana State, Missouri State, and Southern Illinois vote to approve this move? It doesn't help any of them that I can tell.

                      What does it benefit UNI, truly? Does it increase our brand recognition? Will it draw more fans to the Dome? Will it reduce our travel budget? Will it improve our recruiting?

                      I'd argue that it doesn't help with any of those things I mentioned. And I don't see where it benefits the conference. It's already tough as nails. All the benefit would be in Grand Forks as far as I can see it.
                      The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                        Wondering if it's a sign WSU could be knocking and want to keep even #?
                        I'm just wondering. I, of course, have no idea what I'm talking about.

                            CLENZ keep up the NO to UND chat on AGS..

                            its ridiculous for the MVFC to add them, all they did was talk crap for last 5 years about the league, then they wanna come begging back?

                            screw them, they are the worst people on earth, the racism & child porn professor ring are just tip of the iceberg on the scum up there.

                            plus who wants to fly to Fargo then drive 80 miles north? and back after the game,.


                            email your AD/president. they are the ones getting ass smooched by the Canadians.

                              there is no reason I can think of why having an even number matters.
                              no point in having divisions in an FCS football-only conference.
                              and with football, there is no need for "travel partners"
