Wrong again...they already won the Great West Conference in 2006 (when they were still in the "probationary period" or whatever they call it).

You, me, and 9 other posters picked at random could win the Great West Conference next season.

I hate NDSU as much as next guy, but he didn't specify a conference...and they were ranked in the Top 5 of Div 1AA for most of 2006 and 2007.

You know they have to start some where... I have also heard rumblings about SCSU trying to go D1. So did they screw up those rivalries or just put them on hold until the rest of their rivals made the jump. Also I'm sure a majority of the schools in the country would love the "measly" extra couple hundred grand.

SCSU doesn't have the money to go all D1. I would love to see SCSU drop football and go D1 in everything else like Denver did. I highly doubt that would every happen.

Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
With a 5-yr old football stadium, I don't think so. I think staying D-2 was the right call when UND and USD decided to go D-1. We simply would not be competitive in any sports. Whats the draw to D-1? So we can maybe make the NCAA bball tourney maybe once every 10-15 years and get blown out in the 1st round? No thanks, I'd rather stay competitive in most sports and not be the old Mourningside of D-1 athletics.

Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
We don't compete well at the D2 level in football either...... The problem is people don't care about D2 sports. Football cost to much money to draw as little as SCSU draws especially with a crappy small new stadium. If the school dropped football and moved up they would compete just fine with other small D1 schools they would be playing. I would even be ok with them dumping football and staying D2.

Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
We're not great, but not that bad at football. We at least have an NCAA appearance and a couple of close calls in recent seasons. The avg attendance of 3500-4000 is above average for D2 and probably enough to come close to breaking even. I do care about D2 sports though, and I knew quite a few others while growing up in St. Cloud who followed more than just hockey.

SCSU's looking to expand their football stadium within the next 10-20 years.

Don't you have to sell out before you expand?

Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
Why? They will never draw well at the D2 level and they don't have the money to move up. Heck even if they expand the stadium they probably can't make it big enough to draw the kind of crowds needed to support small D1 football and if they stay D2 they will just have more empty seats.

Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
Why are you comparing football programs in a hockey thread. As SCSU said, SJU Hockey draws how many fans to home games? Less than your average high school game from what i've seen.

Re: SCSU Huskies 2010 Off-Season Thread
If you read the thread, SCSU football was being discussed, and wchaforever made a comment about football attendance @ SJU compared to SCSU (the D-III school 15 miles up the road from SCSU if you two can use deductive reasoning). I was merely proving wchaforever's post. My apologies since that absolutely offended both of you to the point of being hostile.
