the Sky will be 10/12 soon enough when the Summit gets UN-Omaha to move up and they take UND to the MVFC with them. If for some reason the MVFC doesn't go for that the Sky will take them for a 12/14. The Summit has been talking to UNO since the Sky expansion started.

It would be interesting if they would release the study they had done. I assume the stated reasons are not the whole picture. One of the news stations said last night that Idaho's budget is $8 million more than UM's...and we all know how successful that WAC team has been.

Well, you bitched for about 5 pages using every reason you could, except the three you said was the point you were making.


Then you say, well I said that....just at a place you wouldn't see it.

If UND really did help the decision then a thanks goes there as well.

:notworthy:
Sorry Ursus, but the UM/MSU rivalry is the lamest reason EVER. As is Engstrom's #3 reason:
Engstrom said three principles guided his decision. Finally, he wanted to ensure that UM athletic teams can compete successfully and maintain the prestige and integrity the program has demonstrated over the years.
That just shows he has absolutely NO balls. I'm predicting Griz will NEVER move up with him as President, and soon we'll be in a conference with Central Washington, MSU-Billings, Carroll, etc. because all the REAL schools will have moved on.
Reading is fundamental, clenzy.

I miss the Monte that would antagonize the male cheerleaders on the other team, or injury himself for our amusement. Now he's busy getting arrested in Chicago

They probably can't say the real reasons or the most important ones in making the decision. Saying shit like the WAC is shit and about to fold would not bode well for anybody. They choose a few reasons that are complimentary to all and go with that angle. Not too tough to read between the lines but whatever I guess.

No doubt.

Like the past President of UM was a moron who sucked the athletic department dry, and left me with shit for facilities beyond Wa-Griz, and it is going to take me 5-10 years to get facilities to the point where a move might be feasible?

That would fit into the way that the money made on Griz Football were distributed to everything outside of the Athletic Dept. that it could be so the appearance that money is not being made in that regard is sustainable.
