Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

[WSUWarriorFan]

Some might call this an apt comparison since they might believe Jamestown itself is nothing more than a collection of junk....

My only experience of North Dakota was driving from Winona and Williston and back in about 28 hours. Longest 28 hours of my life.

With the amount of topics in this thread I'm calling it the junk drawer. We go take out menus, dead batteries, screws to something, a couple dried out pens, soy sauce packets, and a can koozie from your insurance agent.

Interesting way to look at the NSIC All Sports Award would be to look at the Overall score and average it out based on amount of sports offered. Wouldn't be 100% clarity with some sports sponsored by few schools but still...

1. Minnesota State - 11.28
2. Augustana - 10.17
3. St. Cloud State - 8.17
4. Winona State - 7.93
5. Concordia - St. Paul - 7.59
6. Sioux Falls - 7.47
7. UMD - 7.39
8. Mary - 6.97
9. Wayne State - 6.86
10. Northern State - 6.33
11. MSU Moorhead - 6.31
12. SMSU - 5.09
13. Minot State - 4.84
14. Bemidji State - 4.5
15. UMC - 4.27

Minot State finished 13th in its first season, ahead of SMSU, BSU and UMC (Sioux Falls finished SIXTH!). UMary finished 7th in the 10-team league in its first year, ahead of BSU, UIU (also in its first year), and UMC.

Interesting, BSU really needs to add some sports is what I am seeing

It can be done. I think 11 is the max as well. The numbers are simply in their favor. A decent landing in Volleyball and Basketball should balance out some expected bottom finishes

I think somewhere around 11th to 13th is an attainable expectation for Year 1 in Division II.

I am curious what everyone else thinks they will do in terms of All Sports Award ranking?

After looking at it a little closer, Crookston needs to add a couple more sports and they will start embarrassing a few schools at the bottom of the list

You do know how to stir the pot oldyellaHer69. Interesting how you upper case the H only, perhaps you're female getting under the boys club skin.

Purple and gold is attractive, I get it. If your crush gets to the level that you’d like to act on it, you can send gifts here:

MSU Foundation - Athletic Donation
C/O Scott Nelsen - MSU Athletics
AFC 126
Minnesota State University
Mankato, MN 56001

I’m sure GLIAC fans say the same thing about Grand Valley.

Quality Athletic Department can keep many fans entertained.

You get points based on your standings at the end of each sport season. The more teams in the sponsored sport, the more points the championship is worth.

For example Basketball, all 15 schools sponsor it so winning the championship gets you 15 pts. Second place gets 14, and so on...add up the points at the end of the year and that's how we find out what Athletic Department won the All sports championship

Obviously sponsorship of sports is key in winning it, hence why MSU, Augie, USF, and Mary wind up near the top.

I don’t really know how this contest works, but having all of the sports would be helpful.
