I didn't research the accuracy of what you wrote but just wanted to tell you that I enjoy that type of though process and really diving into the details.

The place where you could quibble is if there's any increased cost for overnight housing. But I think the schools you're missing (NW and MW) are just as certain to have a hotel night as the schools you're adding (FH and UNK).

NSU could have Pitt State and MoSo as crossover games for the first 4 years of this arrangement. The likelihood of any new system lasting longer than 4 years seems relatively low to me.
Keep in mind that even if NSU isn't in the same division as UNK, that trip still has to be made twice out of every six years (as opposed to 3 times out of every six years if they are in same division). Think of it this way, one time out of 6 years, NSU has to go to Hays and Kearney instead of Maryville and St. Joe. That's 7 hours total of additional driving every 6 years. 7 hours of driving (and the associated travel cost) over a 6 year time frame is the cost for the MOST disadvantaged school in this scenario.
Every other MIAA school could give NSU $35 per year and that would basically make up the school's travel cost (($5/mile x 70mph x 7hrs) / (11 other schools x 6 years) = $32). Even if you want to double my cost per mile estimate, that's still only $65 per year from the other schools. Obviously, I'm not saying the MIAA should provide for this sort of payment, but the de minimis nature of the inconvenience for the most inconvenienced school is the point I'm after here.
And, if the MIAA opening up it's schedule to non-conference games convinces the GAC to do the same, the result could actually be net less traveling for NSU if it gets th
And finally, I know you're an NSU fan, so sorry to be so frank about this, but in a football scheduling vote, I hope the other ADs/Presidents/whoever consider how little NSU contributes to the conference in football and vote accordingly.
. A rotating schedule is not a problem . Moso and Pitt are our closest geographic members andare we ever going to become a part of this conf if we don't form rivals. And trust me the nsu moso game will have some meaning next year .
And thank you somuch for reminding me that nsu has been bad.

I was responding to one plan that I deem unfair . A permanent division split where nsu is not in same division as either moso or pitt is unfair and biased. No matter what" our contribution"

Originally posted by MIAAWeekly View PostFinal vote was 5-5 with two abstaining. The two who abstained had to because the presidents were not present. MIAA by-laws dictate that the president has to be there to vote.
It is believed (though we can't know for sure) that the two abstains would have voted 'yes'
