Northern Iowa was in the NCC until the NCAA implemented divsions I, II and III instead of just the college and university divisions. St. Thomas was also a charter member of the NCC.

Regarding rivalries, our current conference doesn’t really offer long-term historic references other than UND or SDSU. The UNI rivalry lit up pretty well right when we joined the MVFC. Other than that, the rest of our conference "rivalries" will be very easy to replace. Hell, UNI & UND aren't really competitive anymore so those have kinda fizzled anyway. I have no doubt that at least on the NDSU fanbase's side, new rivalries will be established in the MWC just about by the time the initial excitement of the move starts to wain. I'm also confident in the ability of our fans to annoy other fanbases and stoke the rivalry from the other side.

NDSU ain't worried about being "exposed" by playing in a FBS conference. NDSU would be the ones exposing every G5 conference as a waste of 22 scholarships by contending for a conference title in their first season.

Do you promise that would be the case?..Because otherwise there is no reason for any conference to add NDSU at all.

I see lots of posts about how great it would be for NDSU to move up but very few outlining what is in it for the MW.

This is one of those things you can get any result you want based on how you ask the question. If you asked the average fan if NDSU football should be FBS, I agree the answer would be yes. However, if you asked that same fan if NDSU should leave the 3 Dakotas, UNI, and all other nearby schools behind, double student fees, move media rights to subscription streaming service, and join a conference full of FCS Texas schools that rebranded themselves as FBS with finances so bad the schools may have to pay the conference I think you'd get a different answer.
I'm describing a CUSA invite above, as I see that as the most likely yet worst conference that would offer us. MWC has the same cons as leaving our rivals and long distance.

Just out of curiosity, what was your thoughts on NDSU joining the Great West with recent move up schools from California and Utah? I bet I know the answer...
