Not what I heard. I heard everyone talking about enrolling into Wyoming. Stephenville of the North they say.

Wouldn't it be ironic if at the end of all of this shuffling the only spot available is CUSA?

At that point we are truly fucked. They will take St Thomas if forced to, after asking 120 other FCS schools.

At this point cusa would be as good as the mvfc, but in the fbs. As long as cusa is both sdsu and ndsu, then do it.

Extra Points’ Brown recently reported that Conference USA reached out to North Dakota State about potential membership, and the Bison immediately said no. Inforum’s McFeely says the report “piqued his interest” because he has asked Bison AD Larsen numerous times if NDSU has been contacted by FBS leagues, including C-USA, and each time Larsen has said no, including after Brown’s reporting. McFeely: “This is one of those odd situations in which I don't doubt either party. Matt Brown likely had one of his sources (somebody from C-USA, or a school in C-USA, or a third party that deals with C-USA like a search firm or another school) tell him NDSU was contacted. I have no reason to doubt Matt Larsen's veracity in telling me multiple times that C-USA has not contacted NDSU. He knows that if it happened, it's going to get out eventually in today's media world. (As an aside, semantics sometimes play a role in the reporting of these stories, just like they do with coaching searches).” Regardless, McFeely believes the point is moot because NDSU, he contends, “would rather play the long game and stay in the Missouri Valley Football Conference and Summit League and wait for a potential invitation to the Mountain West (which might never come) instead of accepting (or pursuing) an invite to CUSA or the MAC.”

Hell, I'm not sure MW is "as good as" MVFC competitively when this is done.

Do we take a shitty CUSA offer if nothing else there? Sure. But the problem is that offer will never come. There are dozens of schools ahead of us on CUSA list.

Exactly what I was referring to. Thanks for the assistance in linking the previous report. This complete lack of understanding of how the pecking order of FBS/FCS works along with the continued complete disinterest in developing our basketball programs up to a true mid-major level are both maddening to me and are what shapes my opinion on ML as an AD.

When the invite does come, I hope Logan Campbell gets the scoop and breaks the news just to piss off Larsen.
