JMU went straight to the SBC. You don't think we have more stature and pull than Kennesaw or Jacksonville St?

You really want to join a conference that is 80% low level FCS team quality? Games that would be over in the first 5 minutes. AND give up our Saturday games to be aired Tuesday and Wednesday on CBSSN? The MAC is far superior to this, and a reasonable conference we could join.

How many fans do you really think are going to be pumped up for Wednesday night games vs teams weaker than those we play now?

Never said I preferred a move to CUSA. At this point I would prefer any G5 conference over staying in the FCS. The only scenario in which I would not is an all sports CUSA move. Outside of that I don’t feel there is any upside for NDSU to stay the status quo. If there was a stomach from the fanbase and boosters to put a major emphasis on basketball than I could understand but I don’t think that is likely. Outside of that the upside of moving our football to FBS outweighs anything the status quo can offer and every year in the FCS is only going to make that more apparent to more fans.

Oh come on, yeah you do…

We've all seen rumors about MWC teams possibly leaving in the next couple years...SDSU, Boise, what have you. What about the AAC? Anything similar going down there? Just curious if they'd be looking to backfill.

I've heard speculation that they may be looking to going to 16 football teams, with two additional football only schools. Idk anymore I've read so many takes from so many people that who have no idea what they are talking about.

If the AAC was looking for football only schools, that would be really beneficial for NDSU's chances. I can't see how we'd be a great option if they're looking for all-sports (with the Sun Belt right there), conversely if they're looking for football-only we're probably the best program that would be interested in that.
