    Oklahoma State. Beat another Big 12 team and maybe they might find room for NDSU ( I know, wishful thinking).

    I wouldn't mind Middle Tennessee State, mostly because I love Nashville. Very doubtful this would happen.

    Not a bad drive for me either, but I'd go the extra 3 hours for Georgia Tech, and the Clermont.

    I've got family in Murfreesboro so that would be a definite road trip for me if it were to happen.

    Guys, this is simple. Work out a deal with UNLV that either makes this our home game or neutral sight. We get 10,000 tickets and keep all profits from that. UNLV gets concessions, parking, and the other 20k tickets, and a 7th game in their home stadium. They don't average 30k anyways so it would practically cost them nothing.

    10,000 X $70 a ticket = 700k. Minus traveling expenses we net 500k, get a winnable game vs an FBS and get to do so in Vegas. Outside of The cities, Iowa, and Frisco, if there is one place 10,000 Bison will show up for a game it's Vegas.

    Anything below P5 would be a disappointment. CSU in 2012 was a shit show but most of it was the uniqueness of Fort Collins. Not many G5 towns can live up to that city.

    Now now dont jump on me saying "WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO FBS THEN IF EVERY GAME WOULD BE IN THE G5 TOWNS?! DURRR". Our schedule this year is terrifying. Next years is terrifying but could be salvaged vs a P5 school.

    Having a schedule full of G5 teams is different if your OOC schedule sucks like NDSUs does this year.

    X2 OK State would be a great game that is almost in my backyard. My next choice would be Arkansas (their OOC schedule is full until 2020 but one can hope).
    The only way NDSU gets into the Big 12 is when Oklahoma, Texas, and OK State have departed for the new Bigger 12 conference.
