Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

[SW_Mustang]

not much money for colleges with hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud going on to launder money to politicians

I'm not going to get into conspiracies. From my perspective, the state just doesn't care. If they did, SMSU would have nicer infrastructure - and we don't.

It's a tough draw to get kids to our part of the state as it is. Be nice if the state would fund us (and other schools frankly) so we could compensate for it.

how quickly you forget you were SMSU in the NCC

*cough* use a different school *cough*

Poor Augustana....last winning record in MBB was 1989

Augustana MBB went 8-4 in the NCC in 2007-08. TASTE IT!

Actually if you look side by side MSU vs SMSU in the seasons the MSU was in the NCC...we'd be more like the Bemidji States of the NIC at that time. Slightly better yet but that's as close as I'm going to find I believe ..

MSU had a record of 170-194-4 overall in those seasons

Bemidji State had a record of 152-195-5

SMSU had a record of 129-221-4

If we're just comparing football that is.

Not out of bounds, just misrepresenting. There are a few supporters on here who want D1. There are more that don’t.

Most of the NSIC should feel they don’t belong with Crookston and the like, frankly. Crookston isn’t a D2 school/program by any stretch, except for affiliation.

SMSU supporters on the board want to be with smaller, more ‘like-minded’ schools. And you all have gone on and on about lack of scholarship money and COVID losses. Maybe SMSU should move to D3? Makes more sense than MSU moving up :)

Again outside of football - we have never won (Were going to until Thielen went wild in Mankato -- man that was a fun game! Blake Wilson was dynamic for SMSU too) we have been just fine against you guys especially in the other marquee sports of volleyball, mens hoops -- and since Webb womens hoops -- we have nothing to be ashemed of -- I am ok with Mankato in the league -- just want some perspective

All those lean MBB years I faithfully attended. I'm thankful to the Northern Sun for taking the 4 NCC refuges in. It's been a good union for the league as those 4 schools added 10 or more national championships, greatly enhancing the league stature in D2. The NSIC has seen scholarship increases, new facilities and the addition of USF.

As for UJ, it's hard to be optimistic about their prospects to be anything other than doormats in the league, North Dakota produces fine athletes per capita, but the limited amount is shared by 4 schools. MSUM has 35 ND young men on their FB roster. Hopefully I'm wrong about the Jimmies as they sure seem to be excited about being D2.

agree overall it has been a good union! When we have beat Augie a couple times it has been great fun. same with beating Mankato in hoops -- it is so much fun. I just don't understand how Mankato doesn't think it is Goliath

you are correct they don't care and never will. MN is broke and the next steps for MnSCU is cuts will be interesting

probably more like Northern which I presume you would not want to be, Look Mankato is the Big Boy - and will be - so many advantages

[MrMustang]

I don't think Jamestown is an awesome addition -- they are fine though. My point over 125 pages !!!!!!!! was that it was always a forgone conclusion - even with Mankato -- they weren't voting no either -- it was always going to be uninimous - from day 1

[MrMustang]

now - can we get to 200 pages?

Probably considering at least 100 pages of the current 124 of this thread have nothing to do with if Jamestown should be accepted into NSIC.

I think it was a bad idea, they will not be competitive in football any time soon. Other sports maybe.

I don’t see why we can’t!

It'll get there.

NAIA football preseason rankings came out, this particular website listed the entire 97 NAIA field.
Not looking good for Jamestown, and it is only going to get worse. They belong playing flag football maybe
