OFFICIAL BISONVILLE SPONSOR OF:Tatanka™ brand humor. Gary Bettman's incompetence. The process of recommending a task force to recommend a process to be suggested to another task force, and of meetings called to discuss future meetings. The 21.3% of teh university students that, unlike Tatanka, are online-only, and the 15+% that never step foot in North Dakota. And hating Detroit...Proud member of TOHBTC and NDSU Team Makers.

Having 12-14 teams in a football conference only makes sense if you are able to hold a conference championship game at the end of the regular season before the playoffs. Of course this isn't possible in FCS (but is in FBS, which makes more sense because of their bowl structure).
The MVFC would be silly to expand. 9 is perfect for a FCS conference -- 4 home and 4 away, everyone plays each other, and a true champion can be crowned.
It would be nice if FCS conferences could have a championship game before the playoffs. For example, you could combine the MVFC (9) + GWFC (5). Split it into 7 teams divisions...something like...
West: NDSU, SDSU, UND, USD, Southern Utah, Cal Poly, UC-Davis
East: UNI, S Ill, W Ill, Youngstown, Missouri St, Illinois St, Indiana St
Each team would play each other in their division (3 home, 3 away). Then each team would play 2 teams in the opposite division (1 home, 1 away). That would still give you 8 conference games, with 3 left to schedule each season. The champion from each division would play each other in the conference championship game.
But this likely won't happen because it would add another game to the schedule for the 2 division champions, and both teams would get invited to the playoffs anyway.
Or NDSU and SDSU could go back to the GWFC to make 7 teams and petition to get that conference an auto-bid to the playoffs from the NCAA....JUST KIDDING
