NDSU Athletics: oderint dum metuant
You could build a great conference quickly...All of these schools are in conferences that are ok but bring them together...
NDSU-UND
SDSU-USD
Omaha-Denver
Montana-Montana State
Idaho-EWU
NMSU-Weber State
That is a legit basketball and football league, with stability that we would not have to worry about conference realignment, in fact that conference might have schools like UNI pounding on our door.

Sources have told me that Valley officials visited Murray State Monday, is at Valparaiso today and has visits set for Milwaukee and Omaha.

Omaha? Not good, but Omaha would exit at the same time UND comes in so a net loss of zero there.
Ok, you know I will stick up for Omaha because they are one of ours, but Omaha? Really? They don't exactly scream Valley material to me, not today anyway.
Milwaukee? Wasn't their program on some kind of academic probation or something? And the basketball team has been terrible?
So is the MVC only concern having a nice, tight, little bus league? Seems that way. Screams "SmallTime" to me. Not even sure I would want to get involved with that conference with how they've been handling their expansion moves. Instead of going out and getting the best and the up and comers to first requirement is "can you bus there within 3 hours".
Murray and Valpo are solid adds...their problem seems to be with #12.
Omaha would be a horrible addition and Milwaukee has some issues but at least with them I can see the potential. They were good under Ryan and Pearl but lately their admin has been incompetent.
Problem if Omaha is added, the Horizon will still move and add at least one school.
