Absolutely a great basketball add for the Summit, as well as in baseball.

What about Nebraska-Kearney? Would they be a plausible choice? Football could go into the Mo. Valley as well.

At least ORU is coming back. Makes the Summit a good conference for basketball. NDSU, SDSU, USD, DU, ORU, UNO all solid.

@johncthayer There's a big casino just on the ND side. That might be more worth your time and effort.

Unless of course the Summit would want a better partner next to Denver. Again, I have no idea, it's all speculation.

This year was tough because of the late departure of Oakland from the league. 10 teams makes sense, but UND has to have a landing place for football. They don't have that right now.

What do you guys think? Should the Summit League try to get to 10 teams? Doesn't UND make sense to try to get them to join?

With 16 conference games, they should only have 1 if they do have one again.

Very true, home and homes with certain leagues are easier than with others, as USD has found out with the Horizon League....Green Bay, Youngstown State, etc.Scheduling is something I know they want to...

One thing the arena allows is for you to bring in some of the early-season classics that other teams can do. USD basketball can't play at home for the first 3 weeks of the season because of football,...

Same with basketball. USD needs to schedule good opponents, especially when the new arena is ready. I know it's difficult, but they started this year with the home and homes.

2 exits past 232 in SD, you won't see the town. RT @johncthayer: @JCimburek wait, im supposed to look for that? hmmm

I don't see USD attracting 2,000 people at a volleyball match, so by that, what they have now is perfect....Unless more average folks come to matches just for the new arena, to see what it's all about.

It seems like they do, but it would be so easy to recruit against that space. It's smaller than most D-III/NAIA facilities, heck even small high schools. It's more of a club space than actually college...

Except it is REALLY tight. And, as a photographer, the lighting is goofy because you have 3 different lighting sources that hit that floor.

We tend to lose sight of volleyball....wonder if USD tries to schedule some sort of classic/tournament that fall. Something with some 'name' schools to open the arena.

construction begins this spring, ready for volleyball 2016....curious to see how that plays out.

Sounds about right. They're talking about shovels in the ground this May.
