Well, this is what we've all been waiting for...Quote:

Care to expand on that? LolQuote:

Can't disagree with you there... unfortunatelyQuote:

Yeah, that's probably true. We'll get a rumored mention or whatever. I just hope that when we get passed over, NDSU gets serious about FBS at any cost and by any path. Because I think that's the only way we actually become FBS. I fear, though, that NDSU will simply sigh and say "no reasonable path was made available to us (i.e. MWC or AAC), and so we must be content in FCS. Besides, we're broke."Quote:

Call up MWC President's/Commissioner... :

NDSU to join MWC and IF you allow us to keep our local media deal and in exchange NDSU would only take 50% revenue of MWC TV rights and CFP payouts and 50% of march madness for the 1st 3 years"
NDSU would also agree to 1-2 Neutral Site Football games & 3-4 Basketball games to help offset MWC Travel costs"
NDSU would bring 19,000 fans to every home game & PAY for 2500-5000 away tickets at MWC football stadiums for alums/fanbase bringing additional revenue to each MWC member.
BOOM that's how you negotiate.
Not going FBS, pretty hard to do when you announce cutting programs and sports budgets when we live in a state with Billions in the bank but would rather brag about it than support the Higher Ed and their programs.
LOL. You think you someone would be dumb enough to allow you to keep your media rights and then still give you part of the media deal from the conference?Quote:

Oh, never mind. You do really think that is an attractive offer to someone. Keep all of what you could contribute (even though the reciprocal value isn't there to being with) and then still try to take half of what they would have given you for it anyway.Quote:

You guys, on the other hand, would have to take long trips for every road game in every sport to every other MW member all season long. That is a massive investment in time and money..
To be sure, getting a 4 million dollar a year bump from the tv deal will help immensely. Unfortunately for all of us, if and when SDSU and likely one other large market school leaves the MW tv deals will probably drop significantly.
None of the decisions going forward will be easy for anybody outside of P5.
well said, but once we are FBS we will have the sky taxi drivers from und fly us all over so thats easy.Quote:

I am not sure who is leaving. I think you are long shots to be invited, at any rate.Quote:

instantly a top 1-2 team in any G5 conference
Is there a flight tracker for cook and Larson headed west yet.
I get a kick out of the "Hoople" and "Western ND" loser comments but then suddenly the MN guy says "We got oil".Quote:

That is not question. The big question is if NDSU is at the top of the MWC’s list. We bring a lot to the table and geography is our only baggage. We will find out soon!Quote:
