I haven’t seen any of that news yet but did read an article encouraging Denver to leave if Augi joins
The article lists other prospects but fails to mention none of them is interested. I’m not aware DU has a lot of choices either. Why did the join the Summit in the first place?
I took a look at the D2 board too. Mankato fans are lukewarm and wondering about football. Non scholarship Summit football would solve a lot of problems. There wasn’t much talk about St Cloud but the Omaha option of dropping football was mentioned.

Denver joined the Summit to leave the WAC (clearly the worst D1 conference) after just one season. They joined the WAC in hopes of finding a more regional conference than the Sun Belt. A regional home is likely still a priority for their AD. I could see them pursuing WCC or Big Sky memberships. Don't know that they'd get in though.

Obviously this story has probably changed many times but I heard Thursday and I heard his own money, but doesn’t really matter. Bold strategy cotton..

Bold strategy cotton.. 2 things confirm Sioux Falls’ status as still just a bigger “small town”: The speed of rumors, and the fact that the media hasn’t touched it yet.

Local media is probably just waiting to confirm that Kelby will choose his own punishment and not miss any work. Then they can breath a sigh of relief and ignore it.

I don't know if this is true or not but this perfectly highlights why Augustana should not be a D1 school. The entire thing relies too heavily on one funding source. What happens if/when that funding source disappears?

I can't tell if you're being serious or not I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’ve heard this same or similar story from three different sources. Two of them are well-connected in the Avera system. No, unfortunately I’m not being facetious. It will be interesting to see what comes out in the news. I’m not sure why something hasn’t already.

I am shocked it’s not a public story yet. I heard this info from a very reliable source Friday morning around 10:00 AM. Surprised Sanford did not choose to get out ahead of it as much as they could. I have now had several people text me about this so it’s not like it’s a big secret at this point.

Yes I've heard the same things. I also heard it was two different assistants he got pregnant. I've been waiting for Sanford to make some kind of announcement. I figured they would try to sell this as a retirement, but so many people know about it now that it would be tough to do that. Also, I guess you might not escort someone out of the building and then try to sell it as a retirement. This, if true, could seriously have changed Augie's plans. I don't think Denny is going to care near as much as Kelby on whether Augie goes DI. If Nate White, former Augie basketball player, returns to take over then maybe not much would change, but it sounds like he's just getting things rolling with Sanford up in Fargo and would have some unfinished business up there. It's always appeared to me that the plan was for White to come back to Sioux Falls and take over for Kelby when he retires, but if the most recent story is true then this really throws a wrench into that plan, and thereby maybe Augie's as well.

Like I said, if Augustana's D1 plan is 100% dependent on Sanford or Kelby then they have no business moving to D1.
