Re: Great West To Include UTPA And become All Sports Conf?

Going into Sioux City is a smart idea, maybe not necessarily just for the short term but for the long term mainly. They really don't have an identity with their sports options other than a couple small colleges and minor sports teams but have plenty of drawing power to pull from and are still relatively close to Vermillion. Sioux City is a nice wild card to pull from that SDSU doesn't really get.

That's a fair point, Coyote Fan. I will give USD credit for trying to create a following that goes beyond state borders. In a small state like South Dakota, generating fans from beyond the home turf is important. SDSU has recognized that by holding football, basketball and baseball games in Sioux Falls.

The other five institutions that are joining the Great West Conference are Houston Baptist University (HBU), New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), University of North Dakota (UND), University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA) and Utah Valley University.
