Hawaii shouldn't be paying anyone's travel fees if they join as a new member.  Is ndsu willing to pay for their own travel all the way to hawaii and back?

I think NDSU should have to pay travel subs to every school in the west division.

UTEP isn't even close to AF in football or attendance. AF BB is doing decent right now. 

UTEP is and always will be better than Air Force in basketball.  Air Force should not be playing basketball in the Mountain West.

There's too many teams as it is.  Wyoming, Air Force, and Hawaii should all be booted, and UTEP should be added to bring the total to ten.  The Mountain West needs to position itself is the best schools in the west that can't get into a P5 conference.

UNLV should just drop football altogether.  Really whats the point?

NDSU's athletics budget is $5M less than the MW's lowest: http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/ So they're sure to have double digit football wins annually.

 USU will have at the very least a $2 million dollar increase with the stadium remodel and a $1.5 million dollar increase for the cost of attendance from the state government. I have nothing againist the Bison, watched them play the other night in the spectrum. Their basketball  team was below average, easy win for the Aggies.

And SDSU is in the Pac-12 for soccer and we've beaten Pac teams something lke 14 of the last 20 times we've played them in men's basketball yet no Aztec will try to convince you we're headed there.

Merry Christmas but please go away.

The MAC is a cesspool in run down areas, plus they know NDSU would outshine every one of them on field and academia. Plus we are a land grant school,not a directional.

mountain west has NDSU peer schools Colorado St, Air Force, Wyoming...

theres nothing left left for NDSU to prove at Fcs level.

NDSU helps the mountain west, you all never had ESPN GAMEDAY and we've had them twice! 

 

Tv tv market is 118 and you pick up Minnesota as well, 50% of NDSU is Minnesota students and alumni! ton of alumni in Colorado too

No, the MAC is a better fit.

Sorry your best bet through the MWC was through the WAC and you, Montana and half the Big Sky turned them down.

Barring a humungous exodus of 4 or more teams, there's no way it's going to take a startup in a smaller market.

Your best bet right now is through the MAC or convince the good Big Sky schools to play D1.

Good points. I think the better add would be Cal State Monterey Bay as an oly sports member. Bigger TV market and (apparently) better basketball program.

NDSU is still waiting for its invitation.  71-5 over last 5 years 4 straight fcs titles and hopefully 5th in 2 weeks.

NDSU 8-3 vs FBS teams, beating kansas st, colorado st, minnesota, iowa st , kansas.

NDSU only seats 19,000 (sold out last 5 years before the season started) but its amazing and loud & could expand to 22,500 (MWC averages 23,500)

NDSU has new $44 million basketball arena, basketball team been to back to back Big Dances.

NDSU deserves a MWC invite, Fargo flies to Denver/Salt Lake City couple times a week, make it happen!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIqTcbDq088 Video of Football opening.... atmosphere beats ANY in MWC outside Boise St

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u-UO8OlH84  NDSU on ESPN Gameday twice... whens last time MWC had them?

 

Honestly, I think NDSU and SDakSU would be great additions to the MAC.  The MAC was the 2nd best G5 conference behind the aac this season, is a good basketball conference, better geographic fit, and hockey.

Is NDSU - the brass, not the fans - even have a solid wanting to move up to FBS?
