Just thinking long term a bit. Sanford could be a HUGE elephant in the room. With the Sanford CEO being an Augie graduate who is to say that Augustana doesn't make a huge announcement in partnership with Sanford Health. Not only a D1 announcement but they could change their name to Sanford University, or maybe the University of Sanford take your choice. They make the move and keep scholarship football with Sanford being a big time funding mechanism. Currently Sanford partner's with the USD Medical school, but what would stop them from expanding Sanford University's offerings and open a medical school. At that point they would put their resources towards that Med School and next thing ya know the USD partnership with Sanford could end rather abruptly. Wouldn't it be ironic if USD's refusal to expand into Sioux Falls (and the same could be said for SDSU) could eventually put USD into the status of third most important athletic college in the State. Augie and Sanford partnering up would probably be a worst case senario for USD. Eventually it could lead to that school surpassing both State schools and becoming the premier college in the state. It could be a long way down the road but Sanford has some pretty deep pockets and funding a good athletic department would be no problem for them. Considering how close Augie is to the main Sanford campus it makes a ton of sense. What were you smoking and can the rest of us have some?
