Generally, in the MW, schools only get two home games in November. Some years you get a great matchup. Some years you don't. That is pretty much true of every conference..
Ya the closest FBS schools arent scheduling NDSU anytime soon regardless of FCS or FBS.
And those Tuesday Thursday games are trash.
other than that SHSU is probably the only school an average NDSU football fan even knows exists in the CUSA,
regardless….fuck it. Get r done. The kids will love whoever the eastern western directional school comes to fargo.
Are you saying MWC teams don't get Saturday home games in September or October? Find that hard to believe.
CUSA has a media deal that exchanges $800k payout for Tuesday, Wednesday games on CBSSN. It's horrible.
I'd take our current media deal over what CUSA has. We'd be making less to play on days nobody watches or attends.

Any weekday games will be a wreck for NDSU regardless of conference.
Yes MW schools get home games in all the months of the season..4 home conference game..2 or 3 home ooc.
November is the last part of the conference season so it is usually 2 at home 2 on the road..Just like every other conference.
Nevada has this for the ooc
At USC
Idaho State
At Texas State
Kansas
Yeah that’s why I called the Houston game a road game. And it’s not like going to Minneapolis, it’s comparable to the drive to Fergus Falls. Many people who live in Huntsville work in Houston.
This year’s home MVFC schedule is trash. I completely agree with you on the non-Saturday football games though. So dumb.
I don’t like CUSA, I don’t even know if I necessarily want us going there. Any other conference I’m a yes in a heartbeat.
Mountain West, hope for the best.
The MVFC media deal is zilch. NDSU’s media deal is based on the past, not the future. SDSU, UND, USD, UNI none of them have anywhere close to the deals that NDSU have. What will the next NDSU media deal look like if interest continues to wane? It is bizarre to me how so many act like we’re already in the MWC and considering a move to CUSA. The MVFC has essentially one positive and that’s the other Dakota schools and UNI
