It's amazing actually. SDSU is a whole fricken 2 years removed from the NCC and D2 and they act like they are some kind of a prestigious institution that doesn't even belong in the same company of the former NCC schools. If several NCC schools move up you should be ectatic not hoping against it. Look at your basketball team. They are horrible, but according to many of you the level of competition is so high that the NCC couldn't even hang with them. Just like SDSU mens basketball can barely win at home against a mediocre NSIC team. So much for your stiff competition. Even if it is considered well above the NCC it's not as if the Jacks have had any success in mens basketball. Maybe you should concentrate on keeping your players out of jail instead of worrying so much about what a prestigious institution SDSU suddenly is. Just because your president decided to move to D1 doesn't mean you have accomplished squat. Alot of you need to stop stomping all over your former conference mates because like it or not there is a possibility that the former NCC or at least part of it may be rejoining SDSU and NDSU in some form or another. Show some respect already, because what you are going is disgracing your own school and where they came from just 3 short years ago. If the NCC is so terrible and so much below a school that is a D1 independent without an identity, well I guess if that is your idea of being on a higher pedestal then so be it, but your kidding yourself. If SDSU can make the move to D1 then the other schools in the NCC can do the same. Your football team has been horrible over the last several decades without any resemblance of success so I don't want to hear how great the D1AA is in football because half of the NCC including USD would do just as well or better than your football team is doing right now. Afterall over the years that was always the case anyway. Your football team is doing exactly what it has all along so no gain or loss but your basketball team has regressed to unbelievable levels. There isn't even any honorability in the program any more.
So go ahead and hope that the NCC doesn't join your cause because if you get your wish and that doesn't happen it actually might leave you out in the cold. If UND moves up and joins with NDSU and they both get excepted as a pair into a conference that would leave SDSU on an island all alone as a D1 independant with no where to go. If some of the NCC teams move up they would have the same scholarship requirements that you have right now so it's not as if they wouldn't be worthy of the D1 status. SDSU might actually need USD, or St. Cloud to pair up with to get accepted in a conference. They might not, be then against like I said they may.
Just stop the arrogance already because it is getting you nowhere but a reputation of being a wannabe snob that really has no reason to stick your nose in the air.

barely contains room for a proper football field and is a horrendous venue for basketyball as only USD students have a chance of getting a good view there. Coyote_Fan, ask your fellow USD fans if they would want a new basketball arena; I wouldn't be surprised if 75-80% of them would prefer a new (and improved) venue.
