During halftime of the UND - HoHumbolt state game, they had someone on from the Great West talk about UND joining the Great West. Two things that I thought stuck out during the interview was that the UND interviewer said "The Great West has two teams leaving and are replacing them with what we to think are stronger institutions." The Great West guy just kind of let that one go and said "Well...." The second thing that the interviewer said was "Didn't the Great West seek UND out?" The reply was, "No, you sent US a letter of interrest. At that point we kept an eye on you guys."
