So if UMKC is talking football, the Summit needs to sponsor it as it won't have teams to sponsor both baseball and mens soccer to stay a conference. Sponsoring football takes away the need for sponsoring two other sports.

But football would be a major expense for UMKC (thank NDSU shells out $4 mill a year for it) and then there are facility needs. Does UMKC have access to a stadium with 10k seating?

Would the WAC take in the SDSU/NDSU/ORU baseball teams or UMKC/ORU/Denver men's soccer. Presume IPFW is gone to the Horizon and W Ill would move those teams to the MVC or Horizon.

Would UTRGV take an affiliate spot in the Summit for football if it's still being blackballed by the Southland? Maybe Chicago St was angling for a Summit berth too when fb was brought up there earlier
