Re: UMKC to the WAC?
Provided there are no other defections, this is a win for the league. Dump one of the lowest RPI teams in UMKC and add a solid program in Denver. Only problem is that the league is back to 9 teams, making conference scheduling a little more difficult, but nothing that can't be worked around.

Update:
He's also speculating that NDSU and SDSU may wind up in the Valley, Evansville might go to the OVC (all this predicated on the assumption that Creighton goes to the Catholic Conference).
If that does how many people would have predicted that in 2004?
Kinda fun to sit back and look at where we've been and what the future holds. Can't help but think it's very bright for both schools.
Both have shown to be competitive in football and men's basketball.

Not sure what to make of this, but I just received an invite to the WAC.

TV tweets that the UMKC SID says to expect "some kind of release" in the next 24 hrs.

Re: UMKC to the WAC?
Boy this move would make no sense to me. The only thing I can think of that would benefit UMKC is the BB tourney money. NCAA pays out based on bids and wins over a 6 year period. The conference should still get a good chunk of change from this, I think. Not sure if this is what is driving this decision or not. But if UMKC wants to leave, I would be all for it.

Next thing he has to do is move the offices to Sioux Falls.

Invite UNC and UND.
Invite SCSU and Minnesota St-Mankato.
Hell, if the Valley implodes, invite Northern Iowa.

Originally posted by rabidrabbit View PostHope that Summit looks to entice both Northern Colo, and UND from the Big Sky to Summit. Bringing both means that Summit could, of push comes to shove, create a separate football league. But I would prefer to see a Summit/MVFC 12 member conference, ala the CAA of 2008. Very beneficial to the Summit, stablizes baseball, creates a Summit football, and generally supports most sports. Even would add UNO/UND/Denver as a base to build a Summit Hockey league.
