Bottom line is...the MWC NDSU would or could eventually get into is nothing like today's MWC. Pipe dream, like the Vikings winning a SuperBowl.

Not saying we can't do it, but don't think for a second we'd suddenly be swimming in more cash than we know what to do with.

Will Entz get paid $1.2M more the first year we join the Mountain West? How is JMU handling Cignetti's contract? How did GSU, Appy, Coastal, etc. handle their coaches' contracts? Did their ADs instantly make $500k more each year? Absolutely not. There is a ramp up period. Same thing with scholarships.

How are future hypothetical media deals and OOC FBS games already accounted for? You're saying they're already in our budget numbers? I wonder how we pulled that one off?

I have literally said that I don't think we'd be "swimming in more cash than we know what to do with". There are concerns and things we'd need to figure out. That said there is no reason to think that we couldn't.

Sure the top two programs may be gone. That still leaves 83% of the conference. To say it's nothing like the current MW is just dumb.

It looks like JMU did extend and revise their contract already.

If you don't do that, and your coach wins a bunch of FBS games, he will be gone quickly.
The FBS market rate for winning coaches is a lot higher than FCS.

Look what happened with Napier to Florida.

Sounds like he got an extension and they're still working on a restructuring...

Yeah, if we jumped and were super successful we're going to lose Entz. You're twisting my arm but I'd be okay with being successful right out the chute.

ouch ... Not sure who should be more embarrassed, the mighty Bison or the fighting hawks

I'm pretty sure I just read on another thread that UND was recognized world wide as the better program or some other such bs. How could mistake have happened?

Probably about is dumb as waking up everyday hoping for a MWC invite that's not coming.

Cuz your average coastal pundit just assumes that a state of 800k only has one D1 FB team*

* I suppose in theory they are right
