Its a huge problem for the NSIC that they thought Sioux Falls could be the core of this conference and then this happens. Bring in all of these Dakota schools, move the conference tournament to Sioux Falls, bend over for the corporate sponsors, etc. The NSIC and some of its members need a serious re-think about what the conference should be all about.

The stupidity of the people who had been making decisions for the conference and universities over the past decade is immeasurable. Same can be said for a few of the posters on this board who defended those decisions. I don't blame Augie, by the way. The used this conference and its members like cheap...well, you can use your own word.
As for how Augie will do in division I - Don't know. Don't really care.
Whether it's your theories about bias in favor of Augie/Sioux Falls, officiating, travel, or Winona athletics I just want you to know we'll miss you too John.

According to this, Augie will be in the NSIC for 2019-20.
Football has two options- scholarship or non-scholarship.
No plans to drop any sports.
Currently at 10 million for the athletic budget, more will have to be generated.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
Nice win for Augustana Vikings men's BB this afternoon. Matt Cartwright scored 31 of his 37 points in the 2nd half, Tyler Riemersma had a double- double 22 in points 18 rebounds a 91-76 victory. Harrison Cleary accounted for 26 points. Look out for these young Vikings, they got some swagger.

Not that anyone wants me on their side, but when Augie does make the jump, I will most likely pledge my D2 allegiance to the Wildcats of Wayne, America.
