And fill in with 1-3 of the following:
UND
USD
Northern Colorado
Idaho
Idaho State
Portland State

If the PAC12 gets raided it could mean a huge shake up in the landscape of things.

Is there something traditionally about Boise not wanting to be in a conference with Idaho/Idaho State?
iirc there is also something about New Mexico not wanting anything to do with NMSU.

So if the Boise thing is real, then go get Sacramento State/Cal Davis.
If not, Idaho would be nice.

Plus, if the PAC doesn’t grab San Jose State, there is still that…
Not to mention Utah State, Nevada and UNLV (gotta wonder why the PAC doesn’t gamble on Vegas right away)

Why did the Vandals move down to FCS? Do they have a desire to move back up?

What exactly has NDSU done to make yourselves attractive to an FBS conference? Neither state has enough people to be attractive. The Fargo dome, while you are proud of it and should be, looks like the old arena in Sioux Falls. It is dated and can't be expanded. Your basketball program has needed investment for years. FBS doesn't care how many championships you have won. They want eyeballs to sell advertising and facilities to show that you give a shit and are capable of keeping up with the Jones's. Hopefully SDSU's investment in their facilities including football is enough that a conference will consider allowing NDSU to follow SDSU into the next level.

NDSU has a G5 level IPF with a 50k SF operations building, a remodeled basketball arena with a 100k SF addition, a brand new softball stadium, a brand new outdoor track stadium and the best baseball field in the conference. A Wrestling training facility is in the works as is upgrades to our soccer field

And the Fargodome is getting a $100 million dollar upgrade, pending the vote on November 5th

Brookings has a Taco Juan's.

Good to see that nobody is falling for the "NDSU and SDSU to the Pac-12" satire stuff that is all over twitter right now.

Yeah that makes as much sense as pissing in a sock. Why stop there? Let's just join the SEC! LOL

Is lakes in his cell?

I will say I’m not very impressed with Jay’s tweet this morning. Multiple group chats with all the people I know in the collective are saying they plan on stopping their contributions unless it turns out that he was right.

Not a good look
