A discussion my friends and I have had is kicking around the idea of resurrecting the storied "Gateway".

It would be beautiful. It would consist of:

Northern Iowa
Missouri State
Western Illinois
Illinois State
Southern Illinois
Indiana State
Youngstown State
Murray State

Huh. Blissfully absent are the Dakotas. Good news you can revive a brand and call it NCC 2.0, see all parties are satisfied.


I would be curious as to others take on this. Can't kick NDSU out. However......a "new" prospective league body that is legally formed that sends out invitations is it's own entity.... once it receives the requisite number of NCAA participating schools it is its own thing. Bye bye, WAC....we are MWC now we just had to jump through hoops and change our name and.....well then we got a couple schools we didn't want anymore gone.

Thoughts? NDSU is too cowardly to go FBS. Listen if Northern Illinois can do it.....

There are a lot of people that liked things fine when it was Gateway....and UNI ruled the roost. Count me as one of 'em.
