Sorry, but I’m just not optimistic about a split. Not that it shouldn’t happen, but at the end of the day the G5 will never do anything to purposefully move any further away from the P5. I suppose the implosion of the B12 could start waves, but …

I will take it one step further and say that a plan for NDSU's future that relies exclusively on such a split is potentially quite misguided and dangerous.
