Hawaii pays to be football only. Were NDSU to be invited for all sports they would not have to pay.
If the MW wants you the geography makes no difference..You could a member by next week..Who knows.
You guys don't seem to hate all the other conferences that haven't invited you..Why the MW?
No one hates the MWC. As I said, I would have NDSU jump at the chance for a MWC invite. I did agree with you that maybe we arent the best fit for each other. But my view is most certainly a minority view. Most people here who support a move to FBS think the MWC is the most logical destination for us. I think a lot of people have been on the MWC board and have seen plenty of derision and belittling thrown NDSU's way. So that probably explains some people's views. For me, I just don't want to be partnered with anything California. Actually, I'd love to be in a conference with WY, NV, and UNLV, BSU, CSU, and the AFA.
I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.
