In reply to: I don't think there are a ton of options for football posted by fontoknow
and they would get destroyed by those schools.
Save the money on the 63 scholarships for a couple years and try to build a respectable Pioneer League program. Hopefully they can also gain some incremental revenue from basketball and hockey. If they could make the jump to the MVC eventually and start offering scholarships, many kids from the Twin Cities that normally fill the rosters of the Dakota schools would certainly have to consider staying home. I think we'll see that in hoops right away.
Villanova? St. Thomas. San Diego. Anyone else?
Dayton, Duquesne, Fordham, Georgetown, Holy Cross, Incarnate Word, Merrimack, Sacred Heart, St. Francis, St. Thomas, San Diego, Villanova
Maybe that's more in line with their caliber of play, but last I checked they were in the ACC.
