    Well, if they "need" 2 teams from North Dakota, than UND is in!

    Flip that list and you’ve got it exactly right.

And yes--the AD is doing what the president wants. Both DB and Cook have shown their willingness to fire people who don't do what they want, so the fact that ML still has a job is telling.
    You mean because the ADs tone has changed wrt FBS

    What I mean is that if DB or Cook wanted us to go FBS, ML would be working on it, actively--maybe not in complete El Chapo mode, but with more urgency than he has been. If not, he wouldn't have a job. His almost complete lack of attention to it during the Bresciani years reflects, to me, what Bresciani wanted. He (DB) told me once that he didn't think the value of moving up was worth the cost and his actions reflected it. The fact that ML is now paying more attention to a possible move reflects--again, to me--the idea that Cook is more open to it than Bresciani was, but that it's still not urgent or a priority.

    Again, just my opinion but my interactions with both presidents reinforce it.

    Why are we pretending it's as simple as wanting it?
    Augustana wants Summit.
    Boise St wants any P5.
    Missouri St wants Sunbelt.
    UCF claimed a football title and only got a P5 invite when the B12 was desperate.
    MVC still thinks they're an elite BB conference despite being a 1 bid league.
    HBCUs think the Celebration Bowl is a national title.
    Pretty much everybody wants a B1G or SEC invite.
