The amount this board overrates the MVFC is really insane, especially with Murray State further driving down the quality of the league. Just look at our home schedule this year, features aboslutely nothing that is compelling. The Valley is basically like the bloated Big Sky now.

This year’s home MVFC schedule is trash. I completely agree with you on the non-Saturday football games though. So dumb.
I don’t like CUSA, I don’t even know if I necessarily want us going there. Any other conference I’m a yes in a heartbeat.
Problem is there isn't a major FBS stadium in Fergus Falls, so Minneapolis would be our equivalent.
SHSU is getting 4 true home FBS games next year, since Kennesaw will still be FCS. None of those home games are exciting.
That home schedule is horrible for fans, only two Saturday games to attend, one of those at thanksgiving.
I would bet SHSU actual attendance declines next year.
I generally agree a move to the AAC or MWC would be great. SBC would be good. MAC would be acceptable to me.
CUSA however is a total turd sandwich, and worse than what we have today.

I actually think it's a great OOC schedule for being FCS. 2 home games against worthy opponents (Maine and Central Ark) and a home/destination game in Minneapolis against EWU. I think each of those games is interesting, plus to get essentially all 3 OOC games at home is pretty remarkable.

All three teams didn’t make the playoffs last year, wouldn’t win a third of their conference games if they were in the MVFC.
And yeah, honestly for FCS it’s not that bad of a schedule. The problem is that it’s FCS

Is interest from a media perspective continuing to wane? What is NDSU'S TV ratings for the year?

I would think that as game attendance goes down, TV viewing would go up, but curious if that is the case…

To me, the ratings are what would drive the media contract. It may even suggest that interest in the program isn't actually falling...
