The timeline remains decidedly foggy, but Illinois State president Al Bowman has not wavered from his long-term goal for the Redbird football program.

“The long, long range vision is to play football at that next level,” Bowman said of moving from the Championship Subdivision to Bowl Subdivision. “But we’ve got a lot of ground between now and then.”
If and when they move up that leaves a spot open in the MVFC if they want to stay at 10....Does UND get invited and re-unite with the other Dakota 3 teams? UND would need a home for basketball, and volleyball which the BSC has but the BSC has no baseball but the Summit League does. There is still a war of words between SL President Tom Douple and UND president Robert Kelley over the whole nickname issue and scheduling thing. IMO things get intersting within the next few years or whenever ISU bolts for the FBS.
