    But I thought you said there were no FBS options for NDSU, and now "it’s no secret we could go somewhere else"? Maybe that was daddy daycare. I get you two confused …

    Only place NDSU would go is FBS
    Wow, you FBS or Bust guys are so single minded. Yes, I don't see an FBS offer in the near future, but I'm also not in control of a conference that might cease to exist if that does happen. That changes your viewpoint. Hedging against a low probability but high impact event is a lot different than arguing on a forum.

    He seems well connected. I wonder what he means
    Who is the "Judy" someone referred to in a later post? Conference commish?

    Except that if you actually read my posts, you'll see that I'm not at all "FBS or bust", by any stretch of the imagination. You actually have much more of an agenda than I do.

    Based on his new article that is out today, I think he was referring to WIU. He says Murray is officially going to get an invite, based on his sources, and he mentioned WIU being an OVC target when they backfill for the Murray and other losses. Being that he said schools, plural, would the OVC perhaps try to reach out to ORU as well? Perhaps he was just repeating the word and plurality wasn't really his point.

    Not sure anyone is super worried about WIU leaving. As in if they leave, ok.

    Agree with you on that. Unless Augi replaces them. Would love to see Milwaukee/Green Bay if expansion is necessary.

    WIU is now officially looking at the possibility of leaving the Summit:

    I don't want Augi for a number of reason either. Mostly I don't want to have a conference that is consolidated within a few hundred miles. Might make $$ sense but it doesn't make competitive sense to me.
