NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
In regards to Missouri State, funny to see the following in the article. Here we've been told "it's only a flight,"....can't believe geography does matter.
Also "eventually" and "no timeline" I guess you could write an article about that regarding NDSU as well as we all know it'll happen "eventually."

Those factors would include the regional aspect and the impact travel would have on student-athletes and their academics. The school would also have to look at the different on-field rivalries they can have in addition to having travel partners to ease the financial requirements.
"What are the financial requirements and what are the revenue changes that would offset some of that?" Smart said. "(MSU Athletics Director Kyle Moats) is always evaluating and engaging in those conversations. It just hasn't been the right fit yet or the right time."
While expenses would go up, revenue would also increase with larger guarantee payments for different athletics competitions, conference television and streaming deals, and bowl revenue.
"There's not a question in my mind that, at some point, Missouri State will be playing FBS football," Smart told the News-Leader. "But it's gotta be the right move at the right time and that's just what we're trying to figure out."

You figured it would go down in June and July like in past years
No idea what this means for NDSU FB, but there will be movement soon
NDSU -> PAC
Those conferences won't die until long after the G5 dies.
PAC/ACC still payout ~10 times what G5 conferences do.
The schools are just panicking because they make less than half what the B1G/SEC do.
Eventually the musical chairs will stop moving. Hope we find a good seat.
MWC or AAC is ideal for NDSU
but hell ill take CUSA/MAC at this point.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
