Green Bay will likely not be in the conference in 10 years. They have no room to grow their budget. Sure they do. You commented on Oakland increasing their budget this year on your message board. You do realize the only reason they increased their budget was because they played a 1/2 dozen buy games on the road vs. BCS schools. If nothing else, Green Bay can play more buy games to supplement their budget. They can also minimally fund all other sports besides basketball to keep their basketball budget competitive. Green Bay isn't going anywhere. The whole idea that they are is just wishful thinking from a jealous UWM fan. I mean, first off what do I have to be jealous of? Their one conference title (regular season) since 1996? They're already minimally funding their programs. Even the basketball staff only has one ops position. Oakland didn't take any more buy games than they usually do - they raised their budget by significantly raising student segregated fees, something that is completely not an option for Green Bay. The way they stay in is if growth tapers off with the other eight schools' budgets. But right now, the way budgets are trending, they're not going to be able to stick around.

Have you heard any rumors of where they could go our if any other league is courting them? Is the summit league the only option for them?

That's putting the cart way before the horse. I'm talking 10 years down the road if fiscal trends continue. Their budget would fit nicely in the Summit, and they'd have nice rivalries with the Dakota schools.
