MOST wrote:Need one or 2 D2s in Minnesota to grow into D1s: maybe Mankato State and St Cloud St. Both in the 14-15 K enrollment, good, high level D2 FB that could build to D1 FSC. Hopefully the same for their BB programs.

MN State Mankato and St. Cloud State are two branch campuses of the same institution, along with Bemidji State, MN State Moorhead, Southwest Minnesota State, and Winona State. Since they all share one Chancellor and one Board of Regents, and all exist in the same D2 conference, they probably all move (or stay) together.

So for political reasons, I suspect nothing ever changes.

OR, the NCAA should permit D1/D2 mixed conferences: like a school D2 in FB and D1 in BB, or a mixed set of D1/D2 teams by gender (mens' D1 and womens' D2).

Mixed gender wouldn't fly with Title IX.

Probably means nothing for the MVC; but since GCU has been mentioned before in expansion talks, here's this:

Unsurprisingly, this article says nothing is imminent regarding MVC expansion but interestingly, it says that the machinations of the P5 scheduling cabal may force us in that direction which I've been saying since Valpo and Murray State was wrongly treated as an either\or proposition instead of bringing both programs into the league together.

Those who support NKU as an expansion option will be happy to know that according to this thread NKU will begin a 4 year home and home series will Cincinnati in 2019.

Just gonna leave this here for any MVC Presidents unsure about the merits of going to 11 teams...

Oh and their star PG Ja Morant made the Chris Paul Elite Camp alongside MVC Player of the Year Clayton Custer and others.

Murray State would be a seamless fit and contend almost every year, especially with the recruiting boost they would see from MVC Membership.

Murray State's AD has resigned This could be very bad for MVC expansion hopes.

He is from Texas and is moving home. The hire to replace him will be important, but not much to see here.

So you still believe that Murray State's position vis a vis MVC membership remains and will remain unchanged?

I think we go if an invitation were extended. But we can’t wait and plan only for something for which we have no control. I know that a vast majority of fans would like to see the change.
