We'd get to bring nationally ranked teams in football and basketball to Fargo. A state flagship that owns its media market in a way no other AAC school does.
I'm not saying that NDSU would be a shoe-in, infact I said the exact opposite. But its very much not outside the bounds of reality, as any replacement will be coming from Conference USA, the Sunbelt, or the MAC; schools and conferences that most around here look down on, and rightfully so.
Navy aside, private schools are extremely over rated in public perception, and the AAC doesn't double as a academic institution at the Big 10 does.
the commisioner of the Sunbelt is on record that he would accept NDSU.
The question was---not how it would help NDSU because thats all obvious. WHY would any of the big conferences want NDSU???

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.
