False, it's the perfect scenario for NDSU.The remaining PAC members aren't going to merge with the MWC, it would be dumb for them to do so. They would give up their current P5 autonomy, NCAA basketball autobid and credits, and CFP payout. Instead they will grab the the cream from the AAC and MWC and try to survive. That will leave the MWC and AAC severely depleted and looking for members.
