I still play NDSU on NCAA Basketball 10 on my Xbox 360. I play a 30 year dynasty and sim most of the games to get through it quicker but by about year 5 or 6 I'm beating every team in the Summit League by 50+ points. The game does extend invites from more prestigious conferences but for some reason the path for NDSU is Summit->WCC->Pac 10 (was still 10 teams back then) instead of Summit->MVC/MAC->Big Ten/Big 12 or something like that. So by year 15 or so I'm making Final Fours with NDSU as a Pac 10 powerhouse.
It's a fun game but unless you already own it you probably don't want to try buying it unless you want to spent $100+ plus on a 10 year old game:
