they don't need one bro if we're there we win it by default

The post I was referring too was about the championship game being as exciting as the second round of the FCS playoffs. No championship game reduces revenue, too.

thats why boise left bro they heard what we did to northern iowa and they didn't want to be made extinct like that

Lets say the Big 10 and SEC do their own super league. Where do you want NDSU to be? In an established FBS league with New Mexico, Air Force, Wyoming, Nevada, UNLV, San Jose State, UTEP and Hawaii or in the MVFC where most of the schools value other sports more then football? UNI and YSU are absolute shells of their former selves, who knows how much longer Indiana State will even keep trying to play football. All of the Valley schools will twist themselves into pretzels to do whatever the private basketball schools want them to do and that will never be increasing their football expenditures. There is a reason why MSU got out and they left a great basketball conferences behind to do it. They wanted to elevate their school and that wasn't happening in the MVC/MVFC.

NDSU needs to do this, Cook and Larsen need to make it happen. There is no alternative if the MWC is truly giving us a seat at the table.

And if that happens whats to stop the MWC from taking MAC schools down the road and making a bigger, better cross country conference. We need to be in the MWC.

At this point, I think we need to be in pretty much any conference that will offer to us. I'm afraid doors will be more likely to close in the future than to open...

Also said that NDSU is the best football program they could add and that includes the FBS candidates. SEC and Big 10 can't stop it but they can just take their ball and do their own thing, which they likely do regardless.

The last five words are the key.....that's going to happen anyway. NDSU football to MW!!!!

And in the future we could lobby for SDSU as well. Imagine a MWC that extends as far east as Chicago and includes the best Valley schools. Would be so good.

...Imagine an NDSU-SDSU rivalry at the FBS level, possibly for a CFP playoff birth.

This is the most encouraging quote I've seen in some time. Notice his use of "and" instead of "but": It communicates, "We're ready when you [MWC] are!"

As much as I want NDSU in FBS, I also do not want to lose access to the CFP. At that point the G6 just become another rendition of FCS.

So, if all the chatter about SEC/B1G is serious, get us in the door, then throw away the key. Adding the Montanas, SDSU, or anyone else is not worth losing CFP access.
