From a monetary stand point (exit fees vs. NCAA basketball credits), the MWC holds the cards.
PAC currently has some non-monetary value but that is going to disappear real quick with any sort of revamped lineup they are able to put together.

Cowherd is worried this latest realignment will hurt FCS teams because there might not be as much room for non conference games. Many FCS teams rely on that FBS game money. We need to get out of the FCS asap before the ship sinks. He also was talking about a 16 or even 24 game playoff eventually. The G5 may or many not get many spots in it but we need to get to the next level otherwise we are going to be stuck with bottomfeeders
Too late. Our arrogance with respect to CUSA and not seeing them as an available, if temporary, mechanism to become FBS has left us now biting our fingernails, waiting on 15 other teams and conferences to make decisions. Hell, even going as an independent a few years ago (probably not now) would have been better than FCS. But the way we've played our hand over the past few years...ultra conservative, ultra smug, and ultra silent...NDSU belongs in the FCS.
And then there were four ...

So Cali-Stan and WasSU/OrSU.
How long are the Silicon Valley smugs going to stay with the unwashed of Corvallis and Pullman? They were palatable when USC/UCLA/UW/UO were around to talk to at cocktail parties, but now?
Shit the bed yo.

WAC or WWC aka the Wild West Conference. Pac Mwc NDSU/SDSU. I'm in
I'm dreaming of a resolution that has the MWC ending up with Col St, Air Force, New Mexico, Wyoming, Boise(is not a) St. and maybe 1 or 2 others with a need to expand. This would shift the conference closer to central timezone and NDSU would look like a great fit in that scenario.
And you're right I didn't think any of this through and simply looked at a map of the conference and cherry picked the best case scenario for the Bison :)
