ND is very conservative economically and SD even more. Moving to DI would have been very expensive without a conference. The Mid-Con at that time wasn't the least bit interested.

Look up archives in ND newspapers as it all there. Specifically in the 70's when the college division split into DII and DIII and when the Big Sky lost Nevada, Boise, and Idaho. The Big Sky wrongly chose weak west coast schools instead of stronger Northern Great Plains ones because they were so entranced by markets, and not competition and academics.

I have far more a clue than you.

The Big Sky did not block the Dakotas from Going DI. That is a lie. When Northern Colorado when DI, they did so without a conference.

When the Big Sky expanded with the California schools, all of the Dakota Schools were DII, with NO hint of any desire to move to Division I.


So your whole posts are based on lies. Please get back to reality.

You've proven your a liar and a fool. You simply have no clue about the Dakotas.

LOL - what have I lied about? I have facts to back me up. You have junior high recollections. I have a timeline that proves me correct.

FACT: The Big Sky did not block anyone from going Division I. A conference doesn't have the power. The NCAA did not require a conference invite for moving up until 2011.

FACT: The Dakotas were content in DII for the 70's, 80's and 90's.

FACT: CSUN, Sac State and Portland State were added in 1996, when the Dakotas were content in Division II, so the Big Sky did not choose the markets over anyone - they picked who they had to select from.

FACT: Northern Colorado led to parade to DI. Big Sky added them in 2006, when UND was still ridiculing the xDSU's for moving to DI, and were content that the only sport they cared about, Hockey, was DI.

You confidently ignore the historical record when it doesn't state what you want. NDSU and UND in the 90s were not going to declare interest in DI publicly unless they had a conference invite nailed down.

You're a liar and a fool. Case closed.

In your mind.
Facts prove otherwise.

Now go back to your FBS WAC-OFF Fantasies - that happened last year, and UND is going FBS in the WAC next year, so enjoy.
