With UND cancelling a site visit from the SL and with SUU and USD leaving for the Big Sky with UND, and with ORU wanting out (according to their fans) that leaves the SL very unstable.
In 2011
The SL could have looked this way
ORU
Oakland
IUPUI
SDSU
IPFW
NDSU
WIU
UMKC
SUU
USD
UND (they would have accepted the bid)
Now you have if ORU leaves
Oakland
IUPUI
SDSU
IPFW
NDSU
UMKC
WIU
Thats 11 teams but suddenly down to 8 and possibly 7 with ORU.
ORU fans want to join the Southland. I wonder if the SL would accept whats left of the GWC, and be a hodge podge of teams.
