Please do as Brad DeBeer suggested: "If you are visiting campus in the next months, make sure there is no dirt on your shoes as you enter the buildings".Originally posted by 1bunnies

Re: Huge Mid-Con news
I'm fairly sure that SDSU and NDSU will both be accepted or rejected together. I can't see one being accepted without the other. They both make good travel partners and both schools are both academically and athletically similar. I feel good about our partnership with NDSU and hope that together we can secure conference affiliation with the Mid-con.
This is as good of news that I would have expected at this time. I hope the on-site campus visits go well and we have more good news this fall.
Go State!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Re: Huge Mid-Con news
This is exciting news!!! I did find it interesting that they want to get the visits taken care of over the summer; I'm thinking that means the Mid-Con wants to get the formal invite issued in early fall, making sure that they get SDSU and NDSU in before the BS Conference decides to make a 180.Originally posted by 89rabbit
UND fans and supporters of a USD jump to D-1 should also be encouraged by this news since three additional schools place the conference at ten, leaving potential room for them in the conference........

Re: Huge Mid-Con news
Great news. I expect that early this fall we will have a conference home. My guess is site visits will be done fairly quickly, as all the schools of the conference benefit by getting the conference members added as soon as possible.
