If the MVC goes to 12 with Murray State and Milwaukee, the Horizon goes to 12 with IUPUI, IPFW, UMKC, and Omaha, the WAC gets back to 8 with ORU, and the OVC gets back to 12 with WIU, the Summit is down to five schools. There's no guarantee the Summit would be able to rebuild in time.

The Idaho, Montana and Dakota flagships are so similar, they is a natural law of attraction. UND had already had a pact with the Montanas and Idaho, where Idaho had an agreement with the Big Sky that Idaho could back out if the other three were gone. Something has been up for some time. As I have posted before, the ND and Montana schools have longed to be together. Idaho will do whatever the Montanas want and the SD schools will go where ever the ND schools go. EWU will tag along with Idaho.

Was wrong about the WAC because I didn't realize that the NCAA would waive the FBS rule. That was almost the unanimous opinion here too, so nobody gets on themselves for getting something totally wrong, but since I said the WAC would be an FBS vehicle for those schools, I'm the idiot.
