    yes sir. this thread is a good read if you go back. 2014 was the hottest NDSU was? or Wentz? moving all sports up really would help Softball, Track ….so they beat up on the summit every year, then poof at nationals. Basketball/Volleyball/Baseball would vastly improve with new conferences

    You mention this from time to time but never provide any documentation that this would happen.

    To be fair, it's a little difficult to document HYPE or energy or whatever our kingpin is talking about.

    That did seem sorta like a high water mark though for success since football was doing great and the men's basketball team had reached their pinnacle as well.

    Hopefully basketball can get back to that level and the SHAC fills up. That's probably the only way to get to El Chapo's Land of Milk and Honey.

    yes 2014 was the peak. the plateau has been reached.

    Vet80 of course having olympic sports in a bigger conference with better competition will greatly help those sports.

    "Of course" doesn't make it a true. You must adhere to the Dr. Phil philosophy: "There is no reality, only perception".

    Furthermore you don't move to a big conference to get better, you move because you are better. You need only look as far as the MVC. NDSU provides no value proposition to any better conference in Olympic sports.

    Can also move if the conference sees something special or unique in you(see: B1G, Rutgers OR SEC, Mizzou and TAMU)

    Fact is there is much much more involved in moving up besides having a good sports program. Look at Penn State. What really got them in the Big Ten?
    It was there academics. It was a store house of knowledge academically and world renowned in medical and scientific research as well. Not to mention a huge alumni base and endowments and the academics and research the rest of the schools in the conference can tie in to.

    If you want to get in to a good FBS conference you better bring more than a football team to the table.

    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.

    Yeah this is probably the best point I've ever seen made in this conversation.
