ESPN3 is advising that they will have all Summit League Tournament games.

I will be watching the Leathernecks play on Sunday March 4 at 2:30. WIU women normally have a good fan following at Sioux Falls.

The fact that Miller got player of the over clemens is a complete joke if you put clemens on SDSU and Miller on WIU i bet they would have given the award to Clemens

Interesting read about Summit expansion. I could see Augustana making the move before anyone else. Their facilities look good enough to do it now. Big advantage being able to leverage some facilities owned by the City when necessary for attendance, all-weather surfaces, etc.

Somethings not quite right with your link there, just FYI.
Augustana University (as opposed to Augustana College in the Quad Cities) does have pretty decent facilities and would fit in just fine with the Summit. The question would be what to do about football for them. They'd need to expand their stadium a bit and the team isn't too bad, but haven't been "world beaters" at the DII level for the most part.
