Elgin wouldn't be that straightforward if further expansion wasnt a strong possibility. Everyone back on the speculation bus!

MVC will take whatever "bus to" college that's next. #BusLeague.

Begging? I think the MVC is downright idiotic for not adding NDSU. but that's ok, keep your small time bus league. Outside of UNI's Big Dance wins. NDSU's win vs Oklahoma in big dance and 3 trips in 7 years is just as impressive as anyone else in the MVC.

What's your point? Inferior league, inferior teams in the Summit (#17 in RPI and the highest individual RPI team was #111).

Many teams in the MVC can easily win your league.

Stop being so hurt over the fact you weren't invited for all sports.

At this point, you're vastly over-valuing the MVC.

At this point, you're spending far too much time on a website that has nothing to do with your team. And, we are still a far greater conference than the Summit.

Name 3 ways in which MVC basketball is now significantly more nationally relevant than Summit basketball.

The Summit was just repped with a 16 seed. They've had programs leave for the Southland and WAC. Their conference champ's head coach called a player's meeting to announce he was leaving for the MVC's worst program. He changed his mind at this meeting, but it doesn't reach that point if two leagues are level.

I like the Summit and the above is obviously cherrypicking their lows, but c'mon. Compare the highs and lows of the 19 programs and conferences as a whole and anyone objective will put their money on MVC programs. MVC is better up top and more reliable depth.

That said, only 3 MVC programs (UNI/ISUr/Valpo) would be top dog in the Summit. NDSU/SDSU/ORU would be top half MVC teams the vast majority of seasons.

If we go to 12 then I think we should either add Murray State and Oral Roberts; or we should add NDSU and SDSU. Anything other than either of those two combos would be a mistake in my opinion.
