IMO, the WAC doesn't have any more right to become FBS as would the BSC or the MVFC, and I'm sure that the WAC's not going to get it done with that roster of schools. Now if it transformed, maybe. You do have the conference-less FBS New Mexico State in the WAC already, so there's that. But they would just out at the first opportunity.
NDSU's best bet to go FBS if desired is to announce a move, go INDY for 3 years while leveraging a football only invite from the MWC the whole time. I really wouldn't eve want to associate with the current WAC.
Agree that they have a LONG ways to go to even be considered moving up as a whole to the FBS. I thought I read somewhere they were planning for FBS in 10-15 years from now.
As an FCS conference, I expect them to be right behind the MVFC, Big Sky, and the CAA in a very short time. My prediction would be by fall 2025 they will be an upper FCS conference, which would be good for the FCS to have a higher number of competitive teams, but at the same time shows how shitty the FCS has become.
