MI Tech was an NIC member for many yrs. They would be close to Duluth and Bemidji than ND or IA teams.

NAIA champs Northwestern of Iowa will be playing at Drake this fall. They would have been an interesting opponent.
Drake adds Northwestern (IA) to 2023 football schedule (fbschedules.com)

Given how few D2 openings there are nationally on weeks after the first few, I could see schools looking at D3, NAIA, or maybe even FCS for games..or if things are too difficult, just take their bye week. The Concordia (D3) in Moorhead vs MSUM would make so much sense..it's too bad they couldn't buy out their opponent or something..as that contest would be the biggest on the schedule for both squads.
There might be some games like this for squads that don't involve a D2 opponent..if a rivalry makes sense..or maybe even a $$ game.
Of course, by expanding the criteria from D2 to other division it does open up more opportunities, but they are still limited, and even more so when you limit the locale as well.
The key part of Laqua’s statement was the fact the NSIC is coming to the game so late to try to schedule games, especially late in the season.Last edited by texcap; 12-27-2022, 10:31 AM.

Would love to see a Concordia/MSUM matchup. It would be cool if they signed a two year home-and-home deal or something. That would almost be worth the drive up.

“We need to find an 11th game,” Laqua said. “The difficulty would be that schedules may have already been set for a portion of time and now we’re just finding out that we need one. I feel a little bit like we’re late to the party trying to find a game.”
The NSIC is yet to set its 2024 football schedule.
“You’re trying to find something that doesn’t put you on a bus for 12 hours,” Laqua added. “You’re trying to find the right setup. I think for us any option is on the table, any level, the right fit and the right match for everybody.”

St Thomas has connections to Bemidji and Mankato via the CCHA. That would be really interesting.

There could be some interesting combos if that were a possibility. Especially with Morningside/Northwestern/Jamestown/MIAC.
What about some of the closer PFL teams? Drake/St. Thomas/etc.

Of course there’s travel questions (it would require someone to fly) but the weeks seem to match up. Guessing Matt is right about NSIC teams not wanting to fly, but I know New Haven has been raising lots of money and they might be able to fly to MN.
I would like to see it happen, it would remind me of when New Haven was independent and played anywhere.
