Man, look at that north-south line from Grand Forks to Austin, TX. There is such a gap to the west.

Also, when I said UConn to the MAC, I meant football only, or maybe also non-basketball sports. ...

...Or Winnipeg...

I thought NDSU and SDSU would make an attractive pair for the MAC, but I guess not.

They will add UConn I am sure.

I guess this is a wake up call for me as to how truly undesirable NDSU and the Fargo market is.

What's going to happen when UND moves up and we stay in FCS? Yikes.

North Dakota can probably support just one FBS school, and NDSU is it. UND is well positioned to be the FCS school and will likely dominate the FCS for years to come.

Oh. Wow. 10 char

Honestly that map makes us look as close to the Sun Belt as to the Mountain West. We are...so far north...and so central...

I actually think it's a great OOC schedule for being FCS. 2 home games against worthy opponents (Maine and Central Ark) and a home/destination game in Minneapolis against EWU. I think each of those...

Not every year. But our fans would still fill that stadium as an 8-4 CUSA/MAC team with one win over a P5 team. ...Would be a great road trip, without the overburdening FCS playoffs.

At this point, we can only know that it's pretty obvious that it's *not* the Bison, since we have no desire or plan to move up.

Oh man. I would be so excited for this (from a fan standpoint), especially is SDSU came with and it opened a door to turn CUSA into a Northern-focused league that could add UND, USD, UM and MSU down...

At some point Tony needs to rename this thread "Tear Apart Everything Lakes Says." Sometimes it's amusing, sometimes it's regurgitation, but it always seems to come back to that.

I love this question!

I would go with...

Colorado State, Wyoming, Boise State, Cincinnati, Houston, Southern Methodist, Air Force, Hawaii, New Mexico, App State, Army (if that counts), Navy...I...

It's tough to transition from watching a really good broadcast to one that feels so mediocre.

That's about how I'm feeling too.

This is the way. Come on, SDSU, Montana and UNI. We can do this.

We are a quality mid-major school with plenty of success in men's basketball, softball, track and field, golf, etc. Not the best, but we are competitive with many other mid-major FBS schools. We are...

...Tony, where are you?

Why not CUSA raid MVFC and BSC and takes NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, UNI, ISU Red, ISU Blue, and Missouri State. Re-negotiate media deal and it's a stable, decent FBS conference.

You can say that again!

When many of the remaining Big XII schools bolt for the Pac-12, it will be too bad that NDSU wasn't FBS in time for an invite to that conference.

I wonder why. What a random opponent, too.

I like it. Any Valley or Big Sky teams coming with us?

Are there actual rumblings regarding the MAC?

Yeah...I wish it would be 12. Every FBS conference champion plus 2 at large. That would level the FBS playing field - every conference gets their best team in - and this is also why it will never...
