    Distance wise you would have long trips to all 3. However, evidence shows some G5 conferences are willing to really spread out to get who they want.

    Your location is not travel concern as much as the school is located in a smallish city. You can't help that but it is something conferences will consider because TV providers play a huge role in all of this.
    All those G5 locations, with the exception of Hawaii, have a "bridge" conference member within a few hundred miles. NDSU is 800+ miles from the nearest MWC school and 1000+ from the nearest CUSA or Sun Belt school. Even the closest MAC school (aka the closest G5 school) is 600+ miles away.

    Having a dearth of G5 schools in this area of the country has been a boon in NDSU's rise to prominence in the FCS but will be a hindrance in their journey to FBS.

    But will it work with just 1/10th of that money ... if that.
    I think we all know the answer to that one. And it would be shocking if Washington State and Oregon State don't end up in the MWC.

    Besides...when clicking stories and reading comments (twitter, where have you)...how often to you see other fan bases bringing up NDSU? Pretty rare.

    If you are football only you have 4 conference games away from Fargo and ,only 4 MW or AAC schools would have to make the journey up to the frozen tundra.. That is not difficult travel at all.

    And you have an indoor football facility. I am not sure how you could wing it in an all sports situation but football only could work.

    I agree, that's the best hope. But I'm losing (or is it loosing) hope.

    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    It was more than just a little snow. And it stayed around for the rest of the year.

    Judging by the line for free signs at Scheels, there is no Bison fatigue.
    It's OK to not be OK.
