Agree with you 100%. SoCalBobcat has zero evidence, but he won't budge. So we just have to leave him to his guess, until it happens, and he then admits he was wrong.

There may well have been talks behind closed doors that will never be made public.

I just think there's no way in heck that SDSU would let either of the Sioux Falls private schools ever get in on that great basketball tournament with an awesome facility that goes on every year now and likely will be there for foreseeable future.

I doubt there were every any talks. When the Augustana AD mentioned they had been contacted about going D1 he was referencing the Sioux Falls media. The Summit has never contacted Augustana and never would. And you are right. SDSU and USD would both say no way. The state is way too small for three D1 schools.

I just want NoDak to post the article. As usual he seems to be taking an article and pretending it says something it does not.

About as anal retentive post as ever posted here. The SDSU President was at least formerly the head of the Summit expansion committee. The Augie President knows his phone number.

Already posted it somewhere here and not going to repost for some anal retentive poster.
