GWFC/MidCon relationship may get stronger.

Good news for the longevity of the GWFC......the MidCon has announced it will visit NDSU, SDSU and IPFW this summer. I would suspect invites coming within the next 6 months to a year.

Looks like it will be sooner then that . . . From the Sioux Falls Argus Leader:

. . . Douple said the three schools are being considered for expansion in 2007-08, which will be the fifth and final year of a transition to Division I athletics for both SDSU and NDSU. . . .

. . . The league did not set a date for its next meeting because of scheduling complexities, but Douple said the goal is to move forward with expansion within two months. . . .


Douple is Mid-Con Commissioner Tom Douple

That timing makes more sense, 89. If they are going to invite 1 or 3 teams, then they want to get it done ASAP, so scheduling work can begin for '07-'08.
