This^^^^. It's really all that needs to be said in regards to this topic, the rest is just the same re-hashed arguments about why FBS will or won't work at NDSU.
If a football only invite from the AAC came NDSU would be foolish not to do everything in their power to make it work. But why on God's green earth the AAC would even consider NDSU is beyond me. The author falls into the same trap many on here do in thinking that FBS moves are primarily competitively driven. Also, if he wrote the "adding NDSU would boost the AAC's image" bit with a straight face he's spectacularly naïve. That comment would get you laughed out of the room of AAC administrators or fans alike.
