Once the PAC (inster number of teams here) raids Boise State and whomever else, NDSU can join the newly formed MWC with the Montanas and Cal Davis and ride the G5 train into whatever crap bowl games are left...and college football realignment will be complete will the big boys and the nobody cares....

This guy seems smart. Sorry I suck at pictures.
And northern iowa is a rival more so because their fans and HC are asshats and that one guy punched pat paschal and less because of geography.
Yes, a transition to FBS would require building up new rivalries. Honestly I think that would be the best thing for the program at this point. Let's get some new blood in here.
One of our two rivals in FCS hasn't beaten us in over 10 years and the other focuses so much on trying to beat us they drop a bunch of other games throughout the year.
Hard to form rivalries without being pretty close. The only national ones I can think of are Notre Dame ones and those are outliers (national alumni/fan base).
I only look forward to UNI games because I associate turn with being good. If you offered me tickets to go see NDSU play 2-4 UNI i wouldn't go.
In contrast, I'd be more than happy to go see games vagainst bad or mediocre UND/SDSU teams.
It would be nice to have one or a few potential rivals move up along with NDSU to have a couple built-in "meaningful" games regardless of record.
I would agree that the best options are the Montana's or SDSU.

Is "vagainst" a troll on UND and SDSU? If yes, major kudos.
Insert something clever here...
