From the Tulsa World today
Outside, looking in:
Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne wants to join the Mid-Con or Metro Conference, according to the Northwest (Ind.) Times.
North Dakota State and South Dakota State have also expressed interest in joining the Mid-Con, leading to talk of a 12-team league, the newspaper reported.
IPFW has been independent since leaving the Great Lakes Conference when it made the move from NCAA Division II to Division I in 2001.
IPFW athletic director Mark Pope has discussed the matter several times with Valpo AD Mark LaBarbera, who said he would support IPFW's admittance.
"(Pope) makes a lot of good arguments," LaBarbera said. "There's a lot of compelling reasons why they would be a good fit for the Mid-Con."
This is good news, both the Big Sky and the Mid Con are now talking about expanding to 12 team two division conferences. I really think NDSU and SDSU will have a conference home by the time we are tourney eligable.
