The one who almost always is proven wrong. These ADs and conference people all know each other. They talk all the time formally and informally. Think about D1 only. There are around 250 D1 football programs (the real driver here) and 25 conferences. Half of them are FCS. It's a small group who know each other well. How many schedules do you think may be set at the bar after a conference or on the golf course?
I had a conversion over lunch with the person at a major P5 school (consistently in the top 25) and asked him about scheduling NDSU. He said no because they rarely schedule FCS schools and they might lose to the Bison. But he knew staff at NDSU and either could contact the other to have scheduling conversations. The Bison are known and respected at all levels of college athletics.

I agree 100%. Ive posted those sentiments many times. Unfortunately some here need to be told numerous times. If they arent consulted personally then nothing is going on.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
I truly believe NDSU is very respected all over the NCAA. I would like to see an ooc game against NDSU in Reno. The Pack lost to a FCS program this season and while that is rare, nobody jumped off a building..Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. I believe other MW schools would also look at it the same way. I think your traveling fans would have fun in Reno. September weather is fabulous and there is lots to do.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
The next update from the NCAA Transformation Committee is Oct 26. Expecting to hear much before then is futile.

Real timeline driver is the PAC media deal being negotiated. After that PAC is likely to pull the trigger on their expansion candidates.

But who out west can satisfy the academic mullahs of CaliStan*, to be worthy of being in a conference with them?

only person who ever called scottie that was a dominatrix who... ironically, was in reno.
she didn't tell him not to play with guns but she did convince him to take a second mortgage on his house
