A 12 team Summit football would work fine. Assign each school 4 annual opponents and rotate the others among the rest. NoCo can have the Dakota 4 as their permanent rivals, Y'town St can have Ind St, Ill St, SIU, and WIU.

The big difference is that the Summit taking over the MVFC would presumably be a hostile move. I doubt that the eastern MVFC teams are pining to play as far west as Colorado. How do you reconcile your support for an FCS Summit stretching from YSU to Northern Colorado while at the same time noting that WIU and FW desire to escape to a more eastern conference like the Horizon?

Nobody cares about YSU in the MVFC. They have no barring in anything that goes on. WIU is not looking to leave the Summit either unless its to the MVC, which isn't happen.

It's not just YSU. Illinois and Indiana are not exactly next door to Colorado either. I don't see any real reason why an MVFC (or a hypothetical FCS Summit which includes the MVFC schools) stretching from the eastern Midwest to Colorado would come about. Both the MVFC and Summit schools would be making travel more difficult for themselves. Northern Colorado itself wouldn't benefit much, if at all. They'd be playing a bunch of far-off Midwestern teams instead of a bunch of similarly far-off Mountain and Pacific teams.

It would be split into divisions where the travel would be to the minimal sans more than likely YSU, who has to fly anyways, is not an either of the leagues, has no rivals and nobody cares about them.

MVC Division - Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Western Illinois
Summit Division - North Dakota, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Youngstown State

You would need to flip WIU and YSU.
