Just to be clear: I know nothing. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if we hear such news.
I don't disagree with this view

The only two half decent programs left (MTSU and WKU) will be leaving also.
MTSU is apparently half bankrupt and wants to cash out on the other teams exit fees before going with WKU to the MAC.
Amazing how uninformed Chapo is about CUSA, yet he wants to join this trash conference to say "yay, we fbs now"
All 35 facebook fans watching the games will cheer. Everyone else will forget we exist.
Thank goodness our school isn't run by morons.

Disgusting. Literally does nothing to bring excitement to NDSU football. I'll save a lot of time and cash on roadtrips to games though.

My gut also tells me the administrators are aware very different changes coming from NCAA that will make the landscape very different. I also don't have any inside knowledge on that. What I do know is I'm nowhere near the inside of this and will await the results. I have no need to be kept in the know. Just like I don't need to know what kinds of things my favorite restaurant or shoe store are discussing behind the scenes. If I owned a retail store that partnered with a major manufacturer I would have different expectations. Fans of a sports team don't have that same need to know. I'm more interested to hear the results of the rules committee meeting on March 1. That directly impacts me.

are you serious!!! How can you not be outraged by the lack of transparency?!?! This has gone on far too long! We need to fire absolutely everyone that is a part of this mess.
If you aren't mad, then you're damn well part of the problem. You fcs forever guys aren't real bison fans and just want ndsu to go back to the dark ages.

FIFY to remove the departing schools ... once WKU/MTSU depart, they are looking at schools like Tarleton and SFA to add to this fine list.
Competitively this will be somewhere between NEC and SLC football.
