    They are using the same consultants that NDSU did for the move to D1.

It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    Well there are two schools of thought on the shake up. Some think you are better to move up now. I'm not sure who is right or wrong.

    That said I think part of JMU moving up is that they aren't happy with the direction of their current conference. They'd rather be in the CUSA with ODU.

    Was wondering when a new alias would take this up.

    The question is will they get that invite?

    That is where I am at. If they will land no better than where they will be if they wait for the shakeup, then keep going on this road and prepare for the next step and wait for it. If there really is concern the shakeup will somehow leave us on the outside looking in, then of course there needs to be movement now.

    I think the shakeup will change the way the NCAA looks at D1 football from the sense of scholarship commitments vs. stadium size and so on. While NDSU might not look like a viable candidate in its current position, the entire Valley might look attractive in the next era as that level below the super conferences. There are going to be a lot of schools looking for a new level either up or down.

    GT has mentioned this numerous times. You can bet he has all the information for a move and a plan in place to make a move when the need arises.

    Gene can't make the move until we're finished setting the record for consecutive fcs championships and who knows how many years that will be.

    I'm thinking it will be one year to set the record for consecutive championships.

    It's OK to not be OK.
