I was thinking about this very thing today. I would hope that anyone involved in these conference moves looks at the history of viewership numbers when NDSU plays on national TV. I know that comparing playoff games and one-off games against the likes of CO are not apples to apples when comparing UTEP vs WKU on a random Saturday but you can't tell me NDSU's numbers don't speak to the argument of media market and eyeballs.Quote:

That sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it? Their initial reaction is to get the state to prevent NDSU from moving if we were to get an invite. Didn't UND try to get the State to interfere with our move to D1?
For academics, yes. They’re a decade away from the facilities being ready and at least a generation away from having stakeholders willing to spend that money on athletics.Quote:

If they couldn't stop NDSU in 2002 they aren't going to in 2024. The state used to be basically 50/50. Its not anymore and probably never will be again.Quote:

Yeah they just basically handed over that money for the Fargodome renovation eh. Lol.Quote:
