they havent said ANYTHING because they don't have ANYTHING no vision, no desire, no wanting to upset the apple cart. Dean has been retiring for 5+ years now & Matt is just happy he isn't at Stony Brook.
its not that hard to see

There was a feasibility study done. If I recall correctly, they said don't do it unless you get invited into an established conference. But I guess they were comfortable establishing their own football conference. Clearly it worked out.
Time will tell if they're willing to step out and take another risk....or if it's even an option (willing conference).
Re: A new and better FBS thread
I personally would love for us to join FBS. FCS has been great & we put our brand on the national level cuz of it, I feel it's time to see if we are able to get an invite to move up & continue our domination in football (which I believe we can). I just want to hear NDSU themselves say they want/plan to move up aswell.

The looming question of geographic regionalization will slow G5 realignment down considerably. I wouldn’t expect any movement until the off season at the earliest.

No, nothing new but an AAC ADs perspective on regionalization and (yet more) speculation on what that might look like.
Aresco doesn’t seem like the cooperative type so I guess I’m pessimistic that anything of use will come out of it. FWIW, I think geographic regionalization is a good idea for the G5 (too late for the P5 I guess).

It might be good for the G5, but it isn't good for us, given that we don't fit into anyone's existing region.

Get sports fans and sports writers on your side. Prepare the NDSU fan base for what should be the future. We know none of that happened because we are the public, and none of it happened in front of us. Instead, what we did see and hear from NDSU leadership for years has been repeated statements that FCS is where we belong. That this is the sweet spot. That we want to play for national championships. So, there's the proof. Unless we're not supposed to believe our lying eyes and ears.
What if there is no realistic way to make that the future and you're just setting up fans and donors for disappointment and then they become even less interested?

I think the idea is to reshape the whole thing. Yes, it's a long shot but at least someone brought it up.
Speaking from a purely hypothetical perspective, this would be the ideal geographic G5 conference for NDSU. I would call this reasonably geographical based purely on time zone. Still talking FB only for Bison
NDSU
Tulsa
SMU
WSU (Shockers)
Wyoming
CSU
Air Force
North Texas
NIU
Memphis
Rice
(SDSU, griz, bobcats …)
But it’ll never happen without some kind of oversight to force the issue
