If we're talking like that then ideally we would want to join the B1G or at least the Big 12. I mean, if we're just daydreaming out here.

Wouldn’t the CAA raid the Sun Belt first before looking our direction? I always forget about the Sun Belt and where their media deal sits

It depends. If the AAC loses SMU, Memphis, Tulane and Navy... they might have to replace them with Conference USA teams like UTEP, Sam Houston and Jacksonville State

But if the MW loses Boise, San Diego State, Air Forcd and Colorado State

I think the wildcard could be if the Pac 12 can somehow poach a Sunbelt team like Marshall

Honestly the Pac 12 would look intruiging

If the MWC takes NDSU, SDSU and the Montana schools it seems kind of like a slam dunk to me.

On a somewhat related note. Gloria Nevarez was on 365 sports today and she said that the sweet spot for the MW is 14 to 16 schools. That is a change in philosophy and clearly driven by all the stuff going on right now. The WAC 16 was such a mess the airport meeting created the MW. However, there is going to be a number of larger conference membership totals going forward.

To be sure, the MW would love to add OSU and Wazzu (though who knows if that will happen). Stanford ain't happening and Cal is likely a no as well.

But say the 2 northwest Pacific time zone schools were indeed added, the MW may certainly look east to balance out the mountain side a bit.

I do not know if your school would be interested or if the MW would be interested in you or even going to 16 but...maybe...

If any FBS conference would get those 4 teams, it would be a slam dunk. Even Conference USA

Of course we are
Good to see Gloria see the light. I think she's right

How does Aresco feel? Probably the same I would guess

Interesting if not unsettling times, and I say that as an NDSU fan who likes our odds going forward. I find the B1G particularly annoying for some reason
