Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

Because “footprint”

This is just me, but I miss when conferences had that.

I can certainly understand that. I also miss when conferences had standards and didn’t just accept wannabes.

That's certainly fine too. Though is NMU and MTU what we want in that regard either? I don't follow them outside of hockey.

My position is, was and will be: Nobody needs to be added right now. I still think the NSIC can wait. Jamestown is going absolutely nowhere without the NSIC, so if the NSIC was in a position of need down the road, Jamestown is at the ready.

However, if the UP schools were interested in that (which I HIGHLY doubt would be the case) then yes…I’d much rather have them.

I suppose compared to UJ they would be a better fit. That I'd agree with.

i'm enjoying the OOC stuff myself, so I'm fine waiting.

Thank you for the update, looking forward to day 43, wondering if there will be any movement from you :)

It does seem much longer than 42 days at this point.

I'm not going back to read what I know is in here somewhere, but when are we expecting a vote or decision?

Sometime before the end of the year. If I remember correctly, the deadline to file is in January. I'd imagine you'll see a vote in the next 2 weeks just my own hunch based on nothing more than what else can really be added at this point?

In some articles posted earlier the conference said they would let Jamestown know by thanksgiving, so we will have our answer soon.

Thanks for the reminders guys!

Being newer to the board, once the vote happens, do we keep beating this horse/thread or let it die at that point? Asking for a friend!

I hope it goes and eventually switches to ....Should we remove St. Cloud, Crookston, and Jamestown....at which point my answer is YES

Why wouldn't NSIC try and add Northern Michigan and Michigan Tech?

I remember this coming up over on USCHO when talking about college hockey and realignment, and it would fit in this case as well. A lot of it for those two schools has to do with how much they want to pull students and remain relevant in lower Michigan. A move to the NSIC would pull them out of the GLIAC and somewhat out of relevance in lower Michigan.

So even though they may be a decent fit for the NSIC, the NSIC may not be a decent fit for them.
