NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
There was a feasibility study done. If I recall correctly, they said don't do it unless you get invited into an established conference. But I guess they were comfortable establishing their own football conference. Clearly it worked out.
Time will tell if they're willing to step out and take another risk....or if it's even an option (willing conference).

I personally would love for us to join FBS. FCS has been great & we put our brand on the national level cuz of it, I feel it's time to see if we are able to get an invite to move up & continue our domination in football (which I believe we can). I just want to hear NDSU themselves say they want/plan to move up aswell.

The looming question of geographic regionalization will slow G5 realignment down considerably. I wouldn’t expect any movement until the off season at the earliest.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
No, nothing new but an AAC ADs perspective on regionalization and (yet more) speculation on what that might look like.
Aresco doesn’t seem like the cooperative type so I guess I’m pessimistic that anything of use will come out of it. FWIW, I think geographic regionalization is a good idea for the G5 (too late for the P5 I guess).
I think the idea is to reshape the whole thing. Yes, it's a long shot but at least someone brought it up.
Speaking from a purely hypothetical perspective, this would be the ideal geographic G5 conference for NDSU. I would call this reasonably geographical based purely on time zone. Still talking FB only for Bison
