Boise State has 7 ESPN/ESPN2 games, 1 ESPNU game and 4 CBS Sports Network games.
Their entire football schedule is on national TV, I hate to do the dirty work for the FBS brigade but I'm not sure I would be bringing Boise into this debate in regards to irrelevancy. They are much more relevant than a lot of Big 10 programs.
Boise State is what NDSU should be. pEriod!
Northern Illinois played Northwestern and Arkansas on BTN & ESPNU
2 on ESPN2 and 2 on ESPNU
Conference Championship on ESPN 2
that's 7 games national tv what the hell natstar
I really don't think Boise will remain in a G5 conference after things shake out. In other words, if NDSU is ever a MWC program, Boise won't be in the conference.Quote:

Boise is not a good comp anyway. The city was 50% bigger than Fargo is now in 1990, 6 years before they moved up. And then they continued to grow at a pace faster than Fargo's current rate for a decade after that.
Fargo-Moorhead is going to be 250-300,000 in about 5 years, its unbelievable the growth south of 52nd and by Costco.
NDSU is ready for this jump and this community is ready.
That's true. I still see them as a "last resort" for a conference like the Big 12. Decent media market and some historical success.Quote:
