I'm sure it would be amusing and fun to have a little NIT, but it would lose a lot of shine considering the best G5 team(s) will be in the playoff.
Imagine the legitimacy problem FCS would have if the #1 seed got invited to play in a NY6 bowl instead.

IMO that would mean a clean g5 p5 split and their little brother spot at the table wouldn’t be there. Will never happen of course.

Yeah not sure why the G5 would ever want to leave now. They got a real shot at snagging multiple playoff spots, not just the guaranteed one.

Wouldn't exactly be the G5's decision in that scenario...
Split isn't necessarily imminent, but the more autonomous everything gets the closer it's going to move to the P2/3 getting to do their own thing.

Playing uncompetitive teams like Indy State, UNI or WIU has gotten boring.
Wishing for less wins (or smaller winning margins) seems risky. Right now, NDSU has some rivalries (and some duds), based on proximity and competitiveness over the years. However, other than Navy, I can't imagine any AAC teams being all that exciting for Bison fans, including Tulane when they fall back into mediocrity.
P.S. Maybe you could get something started with Charlotte. Years ago, I was at a conference in Charlotte and went to a nearby sports bar that had a big NDSU flag prominently displayed. I think it was called Jocks and Jills. Perhaps the Bison fanbase in Charlotte is strong enough to have a presence at games in Charlotte that could lead to a new rivalry.

No one is “wishing for fewer wins” lol stop that crap. I mean do you want UNI to move down to D2? Just think you guys might win a playoff game if you did
The UNI fans I’ve talked to would love for us to go. They want their teacher school conference back

Jocks and Jills is where the local Bison watch parties are held.

Exhibit A: the post to which I was replying said, "If playing more competitive teams results in some losses and less boat race blowouts, so be it."
