For real though, the Dakota market is absolutely key. Going to the Summit League tourney and generally just getting to know the fanbases up there, I would say they are the most active and rabid fanbase in the league. The main thing they bring to the SL in regards to fanbase is the fact that those are the only schools in those two states, whereas Oakland, IUPUI, IPFW, UMKC, etc, etc all have to compete with much larger state schools for attention (which is such a struggle). I used to wonder why the conference wanted some schools from North and South Dakota, but they are quickly proven to be some of the league’s greatest assets.
