I don't think anyone on this board is to blame for anything that happens in NDSU athletics. But I am playing the "I told you so" game about two years in advance. And if it turns out I'm wrong, I'll be the one lacking self-awareness to remember this conversation. However, I'm guessing I'll have your help to remind me.Quote:

We have to seize the opportunities presented to us, not the ones we wish were presented to us but weren't."Quote:

Sources: Kennesaw State has emerged as the favorite to become Conference USA’s tenth member. That addition is expected in the near future for Kennesaw to join effective 2024.
I guess if you’re going to suck might as well suck in FBS. Go Owls. It's the Owls, right?Quote:

They will have 1 Neutral Home game at Atlanta Falcons stadium vs a big opponent and get 50,000 attendanceQuote:

This move is ALL about location. Helps the existing/new schools like JSU, FIU reduce their travel some.Quote:

Any other adds will come from the same region, the next schools up are SFA, Tarleton, UCA, EKU.
Missouri St could get in if they want probably, but they seem more interested in SBC.
Location, location, location. It's why we need the PAC/MWC cascade to get sorted out.
problem with your scenario is the CUSA/MAC/SUN BELT will have a "Chip & A Chance"
because in 2024 the door is shut & NDSU will be ballsacking the Dakota schools & Terra Haute/Mcomb teams for next 100 years while our idiot admin says "we will see what the future brings"
