Right decision and best thing for the state. Now to see if Kelby throws a tantrum like he did when the hospital in Des Moines turned him down.

Augie to the Summit?

This move actually gives me a lot more faith in the Summit League and its leadership. I wasn't hard for or against the move but didn't really see what they brought to the table that SDSU and USD already had covered. When the Summit League moved to SF though I figured adding Augie is a done deal. A good day for the Summit League! If we ever get in a major pinch for a member Augie will always be there panting and begging to get in like a dog looking at a bone!

I could only imagine what Craig and John sports talk would be like if they still had a show. They would blow a gasket and trash every thing summit league. Not if St Thomas doesn't get a NCAA waiver then Augie might not be a bad back up plan. I was like Superbunny I wasn't for or against it but I am not broken up it didn't work out and I wouldn't be ticked if they got in.

Augie would gain a lot more from the Summit then the Summit gaining from Augie. That's the problem. The only good thing Augie could bring is a little stability and closer travel for some schools. That's not enough and Gaskins and others don't get it. Like I said, nothing surprises me and I wouldn't be surprised one day if Augie gets in, but it has to prove it deserves it and is a good fit. If they could get into the Pioneer for football that would be a good start for Augie."The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer

Adding Augie at any point in the next few years would make the Summit less stable, not more stable. The addition of another Dakota school to the conference would weaken the commitment of other member schools. The commissioner has said there are other schools that would like to get into the league. There's no rush. Add St. Thomas, hunker down, and try to make the league better with existing members.This space for lease.

Like was mention above Augie would bring a little stability. Outside of that what does Augie bring to the table? I don't see much. In fact, couldn't you argue that they also be harmful to SDSU and USD negating any positives that Augie would bring? What am I missing? It just appears that Augie fans and Sioux Falls may be for it but little support otherwise. SUPERBUNNYMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, BIZUN!!!

I guess I'd say I'm ambivalent, but I'll admit the prospect of Jacks "away" games in Sioux Falls appeals to me.

Reduced travel costs would be a consideration. Who knows what the fiscal constraints will be post-pandemic, but let's say someone like WIU seeks league exit, does an Augie invite become more palatable?

Well they really only provide reduced travel for the 129 schools. The rest of the league doesn’t enjoy extra trips to the Dakotas, and WIU in particular can’t afford any extra expenses at this point. With UND added already I don’t see any way the Denver’s, WIUs, hell even UNO being for a fifth Dakota school. There’s a fair amount of griping I’ve seen from opposing fan bases about that.
