Zipmeister Posted August 31, 2019 Report Posted August 31, 2019 Would REALLY love to see Northern Iowa in the MAC. It took 23rd ranked Iowa state, playing at home, three overtimes to beat Northern today (and they are also good at basketball). Quote
ZippyRulz Posted August 31, 2019 Report Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) ISU will end up beating Texas and/or Oklahoma and competing for the conference champ. and this will just look in retrospect like an uninspired opening day win. And UNI will compete for their conf. champ. as well. Edited August 31, 2019 by ZippyRulz Quote

zippy5 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Posted September 3, 2019 UNI would be a great addition. Very good hoops program as well Quote
DannyHoke Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 UNI is not Division I football and has no money to fund such a move, so this is moot thought. https://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/education/college/2015/07/17/uni-iowa-isu-regents-funding-subsidies/30301673/ Quote

That does not mean that they wouldn't be competitive in the MAC or that I can't wish that they were in it. Quote
DannyHoke Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 I wish that Akron was in Conference USA. 1 Quote
Cykron Posted October 15, 2019 Report Posted October 15, 2019 I would love to see UNI in the MAC! Never mind the drubbing last Saturday by perennial FCS champion North Dakota State. Quote

kreed5120 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) For a program like NDSU I think it's a situation of be careful for what you wish for. They kind of have a good thing going for them in FCS with fan support and being able to compete at the top of their division, which also brings them notoriety. Similar to what Mount Union has going for them in D3. Edited October 16, 2019 by kreed5120 1 Quote

Fargo is a city in North Dakota. The Plains Art Museum exhibits regional, contemporary and Native American works in a revamped old warehouse. Modern and vintage airplanes are on display at the Fargo Air Museum, spread over 2 hangars. The nearby Fargodome is an indoor stadium hosting college football games, concerts and theatrical shows. Red River Zoo shelters cold climate species such as red pandas and gray wolves. Edited October 16, 2019 by ZipsVoice Quote
