    Re: Augie d1 thread

    Would the MVFC not invite Augie? If I remember right the league is inviting North Dakota in after this year?

    That would put the league at 12 teams with another team near NDSU to keep them happy for travel expenses

    I'm sure the scholarships thing is going to be brought up but I would imagine Augie if serious about D1 would find the money to balance the Title IX ratio

    I limit myself on needling. Especially after posting the picture of you and Purple Mav Man as the Data twins.

    I'm on the Any Given Saturday site which is the FCS model of what we have here. I will warn you though, things are quite polite here compared to there.

    If they move up, they are in a large enough city to have a good possibility of being successful, even though there are already two D-1s in SD. Also, they don't have a men's a women's hockey program to finance, which is very expensive. I personally would not care much for non-scholarship football, but can't have everything I suppose.

    I hope that confused Augie football fans don't drive up I-29 and then I-94 across the Red River when they play at Morehead State.

    Not just hoops, I think most, though not all, of Augies athletic teams would be very competitive on the Summit (if they got in there). I personally think the Summit will be all in for this as it especially helps them in sports that not all schools offer. I know off the top of my head that they are at a minimum for baseball, I think.

    "From the Sioux Falls business community"

    Like I've said from the beginning, I feel this is more a thing for the ever growing and expanding city of Sioux Falls as they continue to strive toward being seen as a Minneapolis or St. Paul. I totally get that and it is and should be part of a long term plan as rapidly as they are growing. Is it right or wrong, I dont know...but if the city does get behind this they should have no problem making this a reality. IMO

    Good for them. It must be nice having a aggressive and forward-thinking administration.
