It gives NDSU a real long term goal and something to aspire to. Especially if we go in with Montana, Montana State and SDSU. The truth is that none of us are ready to make that jump though. We need to get our facilities up to a high G5 level, move up to CUSA and take our lumps, prove that we belong and can fund athletics at the FBS level. If we do all that successfully, we will eventually get that MWC invite. Gene Taylor will die a happy man.
No longer an option. Guys... its. over.

That was the old CUSA. The top teams left and it's now basically the Southland 2.0. WKU and MTSU probably regret not taking that MAC invite. Give us the extra scholarships and an OC that knows the forward pass is legal and we roll everyone there. Definitely a downgrade.

CUSA members just signed a GOR for I believe 5 more years. Their tv deal is 800 grand per member. The GOR in essence means it could cost as much as 4 million bucks in exit fees.

I thought it was the MIAC bullying them out. To their credit they responded with an unbelievable KO punch.

Welp, here's to waiting for another FBS shakeup in 2-3 years.
