Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

SCSU would be a perfect fit for the Summit. They'd dominate in baseball, and probably be competitive in most other sports. Or they won't, it's not like anyone is watching anyway.

I'll never understand your hate for the geographic big brother for the NSIC.

That's fine. At least I have reasons - I'll never understand your infatuation with it.

It's a D2 conference pretending to be a D1 conference. Their fans are insufferable. There's other reasons, but people act like they're the second coming of the SEC, and that's just embarrassing.

I've sat through 10 years of SMSU football - so I have a high tolerance for bad college sports, but even I have my limits.

Nobody is claiming them to be an SEC. However they are still athletically better than each of our schools, and are the logical step up.

Gotcha' and I bit hook, line and sinker.

Sometimes the fishin’ is good :)

I disagree. MSU would not be at the bottom of the Summitt league.

They would become what they were in the NCC, average in their great years

They’d be average all the time, sometimes popping in a couple sports. That doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun though.

So MSU moving up would make them average but Jamestown moving up would make them top half competitive?

No :)

He’s not a real Jamestown fan. Just flying the flag and playing the part. But he’s one of the main characters on the show that is this thread. Haha

Jims have been actively recruiting in Sioux Falls making offers, although nobody else is offering those players. I do like the UJ orange crush uniform colors, or will it be orange crushed? Just think 1/10 of UJ student body will be football players!

Yeah, although not nearly that high of percentage. With a shrinking number of college eligible high school grads almost all private colleges rely on athletics to keep enrollment up. When I attended Winona St. in the late 70's for 2 semesters they were overflowing with students. I see enrollment has dropped significantly over the years at WSU.

My daughter was an average tennis player in HS she graduated in 2010 with a 4.0 GPA and I was surprised how many small schools recruited her for tennis.

Disappointed they didn't cut sports
