Do they have plans to actually win?
How embarrassing for NDSU to be associated with a conference that just thought Murray St. would be a solid edition to the league. They haven't made an FCS playoff in 20 years and they are in the OHIO FUCKING VALLEY conference. If you can't win there, then holy shit, get ready for some absolute shit shows in the MVFC.

They lost to Austin Peay every year for the last 5 years..there has to be a punchline in there somewhere?

So the MVC thinks it can just park shitty football teams in the MVFC without giving MVFC teams a cut of their NCAA basketball money? That is some bullshit. NDSU needs to move out of this shit ASAP.

Remember when half the MVFC quit in the spring season?
adding usd, und was pathetic.
No offense Murray State, You're fine I'm the MVFC... NDSU just isn't

Probably not. I was just trying to find something positive but here's my valient attempt

1) Decent brand. Some casual fans may recognize their name in Basketball and think they are good in football and a big time school for our conference

2) New market. Not a big one but they have fans... in basketball. Not that we recruit Kentucky

3) Attendance. Last year they drew
6k, 9k, 10k, 6500, 6300
Which is better than Indiana State

4) Their stadium looks OK on TV if you only show 1 side and don't show the empty parts

5) Is Kentucky warm in the late season?

Can we get into the big sky or would Montana cry again

[bisoneer]

Could there be a merger plan for Summit Conf., MVFC teams and the MVC? This would get us better basketball tv money??

Playing a bit of devil's advocate here. Maybe the MVFC thinks that NDSU/SDSU or others will be making an FBS leap in the future and want to add some teams for the sake of stability?
