This link comes from the SS, complements of SiouxVolly, AKA Star2City. Here's the link, I'll post his explanation of it in a bit. He's claiming NDSU will be forced to joy the Big Sky or revert to D2. I think he's blowing smoke.

Below is his explanation. God help us if he's right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new proposal for DI is out (
http://www.oneafar.o...ce_Proposal.pdf ). Under the proposal, the Sun Belt, CUSA, MAC, and AAC retain DI status. The Big Sky will be forced to pursue FBS status or drop down to the new DII. Schools that don't pursue DI will probably be force to join the WAC, which can't join the new division. Schools like NMSU, Idaho, Cal Poly, Davis, NDSU would have to join an FBS Big Sky or be forced down.
FCS affililiation is the new D2.
Eastern Kentucky is the latest team wanting out of FCS (to join the Sun Belt) because of talk of these rule changes.
