If you want stability in the summit the best/only way is to take schools that are close together to keep travel down (due to schools you’d attract being smaller and lower budget) with realistic aspirations and understanding of where they fit in the D1 world. Conferences like the WAC and Summit become unstable when members have significantly different ideas (and misunderstandings) of where they fit.

Schools like Augie, MSU Mankato, Sioux Falls, UNO, UMKC, etc... would give that. Recreate the NCC at the D1 level and buy the name from the D2 conference


SDSU
USD
NDSU
UND
Augie
Sioux Falls
MSU Mankato
Southwest Minnesota State
St Cloud State
MSU Morehead

It makes being D1 worthless and there will be zero talent for anyone to recruit but you’ll get the stability your craving. You’ll get and all sports conference (including football), you’ll get rivalries, and it’s literally everything I’ve heard NDSU fans like BF02 ask for.
