    I would prefer MVC and stay in the FCS for the time being. Our athletic department has 15 sports that are not football (wrestling is in another conference) and one that is football. Also, it would be beneficial for football anyway, as there would be conference consitency b/w the FB and non-FB sports (except wrestling).

    FCS until NDSU establishes itself*. Plus, FBS is a cluster gathering right now.

    You dont have the option of FBS in the poll. Please clarify between just FBS and FBC conference.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Right now I would choose to have all sports in the MVC. It's a little bit closer geographically and it's more competive right now in most sports. Football obviously wouldn't move, but I like where that's at. Until a playoff happens in the FBS where there's a shot for smaller school to earn a title, it's just not worth the move up. I enjoy seeing NDSU play for a title year in and year out.

    Big reason for choosing MVC in all sports: Consistency throughout conferences.

    Say that NDSU and SDSU get invited to the MVC. Now we're playing SDSU, UNI, Southern Illinois, Illinois State, Missouri State and Indiana State in all sports except wrestling.

    This is the main reason why Western Kentucky added 22 schollies and moved football to the Sun Belt.
