Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
Originally posted by MrAugustana View PostThey were doormats when they were going up against SDSU and USD because Augie was putting about 3% of the effort into athletics that they are putting into their athletic program now (I don't mean just financially, but in terms of overall focus and emphasis on athletics).
I think having a private, D1 university in a good-sized city will appeal to recruits who don't want to go to a big state school but still want to compete at the D1 level. And it will appeal to parents who want their kid at a smaller, Christian university in a safe town.
The people insisting that Augie will go back to the bottom of the barrel are envisioning a version of Augustana athletics that hasn't existed since the early 2000s, and most likely won't be coming back.
I kid obviously. I certainly will mourn the loss of a formidable opponent, but I think Sioux Falls will be a good fit for a small D1 program. They seem to have success with their USHL, G-League, and AA sports teams.

This mentions that the deadline for withdrawing from the NSIC is Dec. 31st.
"What this will do to the football and wrestling programs remains to be seen since the Summit League does not offer either sport and the Vikings would have to either find a conference for them or look at cutting them."

Originally posted by ddwitte View PostIt may work out for them, but the way I see it is they have finally been able to win some championships now that the state universities have been gone and they weren't having to compete with them for recruiting. I don't see how being a doormat in a 1 bid DI league with 1 tournament win in the last 13 years is better than being competitive on a national level year in and year out in DII.

Originally posted by NSU4LIFE View PostIf you think Augie can come up with as many fans at the Summit tourney as SDSU (for example) you are nuts. They will probably out draw them during the season, but postseason suddenly alumni come out of no where and obviously SDSU has more alumni to draw from. We saw it last year with NSU, people who had graduated, couldn't even name a player or two, didn't know we were that good until regional championship, etc. Not that everyone was like that, but the same is true for most schools.
