I dont think many that are "stay put". The fact is many that you think are stay put really are in the camp of knowing we cant do it now due to
$$$$$$$$$$$$, conference invite etc etc etc and it had to be whats best for NDSU as opposed to the faction that just want to move up---because we should.
As far as your two questions----- IMO it all depends on the invite doesnt it. You certainly dont want a conference based in the south. It has to be the right fit.
What does NDSU have to do to get an invite??? One must remember we have to be the right fit for the conference not only sports wise but more so what do we bring to the table academically? How do we enhance the standing of the conference. What do we offer that the other schools can use as a resource? Endowments and research are big things also. Just because we have a great football program only gets your foot in the door.

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.
