It was a 10 second mention with Montana and Montana St actually being the lead in and the "poo pooing" you speak of was one of the buys saying "Do the Montana's actually want to move up?"

Another peer institution ...

“It’s exciting but also, boy, if they’re gonna go, they’re gonna have to go full boar,”

Is that the same as going whole hog?

Doesnt surprise me. Although things can change, the Mountain West is a stable situation as of now. The allure of the AAC isnt what it was.

One way or another NDSU needs to get football to the FBS. With the MWC sounding like it's a no go for now, it makes sense to look to C-USA or the Sunbelt once the dust settles. Whoever needs teams should be where we focus.

100% agree. And if they all tell us no, like they did Liberty, we need to ask the NCAA to permit us to become FBS football independent. Liberty will get picked up by someone in this round because they now have a track record in FBS. Despite our advantages, we are down the priority list because we are FCS and no one wants FCS call-ups. We need to be FBS when this is all said and done.

I think the majority of Bison fans would prefer to be FBS but this is where there's a lot of disagreement. I think going FBS independent would be a catastrophic mistake. I don't think the admin should be in the FBS at all costs boat. They can be proactive about seeking FBS opportunities while still being selective. There needs to be a balance struck or they risk toppling everything that has been built over the last 50+ years.

I was about to write, "If lakes says it, it isn't happening." But this will suffice.

I would be willing to bet Boise and Colorado State are Big 12 bound and are just waiting for an invite. Why would they go the the AAC if the Big 12 wants them. 2 exit fees. More travel. Not sure on Air Force though. They don't really strike me as a Big 12 team but who knows.
