In fact the story is that it was NDSU, SDSU and USD who pushed hard for invite, using our relationships with the MVFC schools to get you a slot. Also, if NDSU would move to the MVC and depart the Summit, they would still be playing FB in the MVFC, against UND.

As for the SDSU leaving the Summit. Given the opportunity, I think SDSU would take a long hard look at the MVC but only if NDSU received an invite along with us. Which I doubt would occur due to the distance between Fargo and the rest of the Valley schools. I do not think SDSU would consider going it alone or with only USD.

I wish everybody had listened to me when we added NDSU and SDSU to the football league and scooped up them to the MVC then or shortly after. Now they got their gang back together, they aren't moving. We should have went to 12 when Creighton left, added the XDSU's and Loyola. I fully expect UIC to be the choice. Double down on Chicago and UIC actually does get media coverage in Chicago. They have their games on the radio unlike Loyola.

Also I think the demise in MVC is a little premature. The bottom feeder just signed a head coach away from the Southern Conference and almost the Summit League.

Just woefully aware of the contempt that NDSU has for us, even from administrators. Why haven't they offered a home and home fb series? After all, we're what kept them out of the Big 8 according to some of their posters.

SDSU and USD relationship is much more tame, and their SBHOE likes to keep it that way.
