Patty is clearly banking on the hope that the P2 leaves and the MVFC jumps up to the second level with G5 and P5 dregs. As great as that sounds, caution is in order. There is no indication that this will actually happen, and if it does it will be 10 years or more away.Quote:

Can't wait that decision until we see where the SEC, B1G, B12 and Pac end up.Quote:

Who the hell knows.
She is hoping but the reality is the G5 will never have their own Championship game. They will chase Bowls like they do now. Its insane. So lets say Boise makes a bigger Bowl. Are they going to turn down a G5 playoff? So the champion wont be a true ChampionQuote:

If move-up-now people really have an issue with the quality of the MVFC they’re not going to be happy wherever we land in the G5 either. The football is simply not that much better than our current conference, it is a lot better than our current sub-division though. So the non conference/playoff(bowl) opponent quality would go way up.Quote:

I actually disagree...at least as far as I'm concerned. If we landed in the worst FBS conference--i.e. CUSA--I'd find playing WKU, Liberty, UTEP, and MTSU more interesting than everyone in our conference. And I'd even find playing JSU and SHSU more interesting than everyone in our conference except SDSU and UNI.Quote:

Couldn’t they be doing it right now???
And who are these two FBS who are going to schedule the Bison
once they have FBS membership??? They could be doing it right now,
for 1/2 the cost……
I’m always interested in seeing articles on this, from substantive sources.
Show where all NDSU needs is CUSA or independent membership in FBS and these teams would be willing to schedule NDSU.
Patty is 70? It might be time ...
