South Dakota State would/will go when we go if they get an offer. They aren't UND/USD. They have leadershipQuote:

So many crazy scenarios are possible
This may very well also kill any chance of NDSU moving upQuote:

Isn't UNI broke? Or did they fix that problem. Thought there were some things a few years ago.Quote:

What would change their mind, or maybe even get the attention of the Big 12, would be some victories over highly ranked FBS opponents and some NY6 appearances. You can do that from the CUSA. You can't do that from FCS. No one around here wants to contemplate FBS independent and the CUSA train has left the station so we're stuck. I just wanted to remind people that some of the media reports during the last round of realignment were that we had a football-only ticket on that train and we threw it away. Bresciani did so many good things for the university. But he will also be remembered as the guy who gave us a life-sentence in FCS.Quote:

Listed in order of awesomeness if Larson could get er done.
Yep but I have a tough time believing the PAC 12 would take all the Mountain West teams since they are a big time academic conference.Quote:
