Who is NDSU’s "geographic rival"? If you say fighting hawks, that’s incompatible with FBS. There are only 800k people in ND, and UND already takes extra money from Bismarck to try to compete in FCS (because they are a hockey school and hockey is expensive). Two FBS schools from ND isn’t going to fly, precisely because of your second point
So if NDSU jumps without SDSU, they’ll have to create a new one. Apparently that's what we did when we jumped to FCS ...

Close enough for me.

Big time rivalries like this one?

It would be nothing like we've ever seen before, that's for sure.

UND is living proof of what happens when you join a conference without a travel partner. Did you miss the part where the Big Sky waived their exit fee because they couldn't wait to get rid of them, UND dropped 4 sports, and has been near the bottom in nearly every sport since joining the Summit? I don't want NDSU to have any part of that.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
We certainly had a rivalry going with JMU and all that took was for them to beat us once when it counted. And prior to that we were starting to get a good rivalry going with Georgia Southern and they never beat us, just chickened out on a game and then had to come to the dome for a couple playoff games.

Incorrect once again. Rivalries can't be forced. Someday you'll get one right.
Not saying rivalries won't develop but it sure as hell won't be day 1. Takes 2 to tango.

Rivalries developed through FCS playoffs. Yes, those were fun. Season on the line being what made those.

More likely it was because no one wanted und and never did. Big difference but nice try on your part. I knew you'd come up with something.
