    Don't underestimate our market either, NDSU would have the highest market share of any team in the conference, and NDSU gets that in more than its MSA. The real market is about 1 million, about as saturated as any big school, in a rapidly growing area.

    When the AAC looks around the country who does it see? Army, JMU, Villanova, Marshall, Toledo, Ohio, NIU, NDSU, Boise St, BYU, Airforce, UNM, Arkansas State, and App State.

    Army, BYU, NDSU, and Villanova are the only ones that come without an all conference affiliation, although Villanova would probably only be wanted if it brought its basketball. I'm not sure if the AAC would want any of those programs as all sports members, and Boise is just too far away.
    ML won't do anything to upset the apple cart (status quo) If he and Bresciani were in charge back in the day (2002/2003) , the Bison would still be in the NCC which would now have a scheduling agreement with the NSIC to cut down on travel expenses. How far away is Upper Iowa?

    I actually don't mind this idea. Then a few years down the road we could create a G5 (6) conference.

    We basically did this once before with the Great West.

    I dont think current NCAA rules allow that.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    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.

    Invites have to come from an established conference.

    Clearly they don't since Liberty is an independent program and went FBS on their own.

    If several schools go indy and later try to form a conference, nobody is going to stop them from doing so.

    People can talk about whether going indy is viable, but Liberty proved what a sham the whole invite thing was. I will let you in on a secret, the power five schools run the show and they don't give a single damn about how many G5 schools there are.

    Do your research on how Liberty pulled it off.

    Then look up the NCAA regs on moving up and having a bunch of indys starting a conference to move up tp FBS..

    Dont think I said anything about G5. But I thought that was common knowledge.
