In the world of public record requests, the odds of something g being hidden is really slim, unless it was a phone call
Things will start getting crazy soon. The AAC is poaching half of Conference USA and they will be fighting for survival.
When Boise leaves, I have a gut feeling you could see Colorado State either go to the Big 12 or Pac 12 to unite with Colorado. Suddenly there are very few teams in the western half and your down to 10 teams. The NCAA requires 12 for a conference championship game. What that means to us is unknown but Conference USA is going to be desperate. The Sunbelt could put a knife in them by being proactive and getting JMU and Liberty

I will wear my shoulder pads and run through a brick wall for Gene Taylor. Everything we have today (post 2011) is because of his leadership and vision. I strongly suggest we name a street in Fargo , AD Gene Taylor Street.

Matt had been the AD for 4 National Championships (5 technically), increased the overall budget, got us Full Cost of Attendance, fundraised a new softball stadium, new Outdoor Track and Field, and an IPF that will be $50 million dollars, that's as much as Gene Taylor raised for the entire SHAC and it didn't take him a decade. Matt also got us an Oregon game, Arizona and 2 games in Minneapolis. Once could argue, Matt had surpassed Gene Taylor much like Klieman surpassed Bohl. But Klieman wouldn't have had the same success without Bohl.
Gotta give Todd Phelps credit for that too but Matt hired him
Edit: We also remodeled the locker rooms, team meeting room, coaching offices upgrades, Dacotah Field remodeled with turf and built new volleyball locker rooms and coaching offices. Oh and he was also the AD when we moved to the Big 12 in wrestling. Sheet, he even got beer in the SHAC
He's openly said if an invite came, we would take a look at it

Just a general statement regarding a move... if Cincinnati can do it, NDSU can do it.
If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.
Surely admin has felt pressure from part of the fan base to explore a move up. What would be the harm in ML saying he DID have a discussion with a conference? And if that discussion got out, could it not pique the interest of multiple conferences?
Stand your ground, have a tough hide, roam wild and free, have a strong spirit, let the chips fall where they may.
