    All those schools have significantly higher academic profiles than NDSU, especially Tulane, Navy, and SMU. Probably not the best barometers especially when we consider location.

    NDSU is also bigger than several P5 schools.

    That's not me saying not to shoot the shot, never hurts to have a goal. Just gonna be hard to achieve this one.

    don't give me the fan away bullshit... it'd be 1000-1500 fans at away games , same as now.

    Travel expenses would be offset by the CBB Big Dance Money & TV Money, easily.

    Serious question---is there any FBS conference that you wouldn't want NDSU to join?

    AAC comes with a 7 mil per year payout.

    So NDSU get a whiff because of football. Make your case to join the Big Ten or any one of the conferences that will fit our footprint. Why do they want NDSU????

    We'd get to bring nationally ranked teams in football and basketball to Fargo. A state flagship that owns its media market in a way no other AAC school does.

    I'm not saying that NDSU would be a shoe-in, infact I said the exact opposite. But its very much not outside the bounds of reality, as any replacement will be coming from Conference USA, the Sunbelt, or the MAC; schools and conferences that most around here look down on, and rightfully so.

    Navy aside, private schools are extremely over rated in public perception, and the AAC doesn't double as a academic institution at the Big 10 does.

    Maybe reformed will come back with something documenting the Sun Belt Commissioner wanting NDSU but this is the only discussion on the topic that I could find--a thread on SS started by---SiouxVolley.

    The question was---not how it would help NDSU because thats all obvious. WHY would any of the big conferences want NDSU???

    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.

    problem with NDSU's success in football is this.

    Everyone G5 Conference member & its fans don't want NDSU because of 1 thing.

    NDSU would be a top 1-2 team in that conference on Day 1 and expose them.


    Vet. I wouldn't do the SunBelt or SEC or Pac 10.
