East Coast Aztec Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 So you should get an invite because in the midst of the greatest period you will ever have, you can only get the demand of 22k? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Don't let 'em in because they talk funny. We've all seen "Fargo"...

lakesbison Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 An expansion will happen or a new stadium. I'd say demand is at 35,000 with a new stadium 40,000 would be adequate. Greatest period ? 1 losing season in 60 years with 13 national titles is a long period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toohandsome Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd rather keep SJSU in the MWC than add NDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should revel in that, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvspuds Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Mr Bison..The MWC currently has 12 football schools..That gets them a conference championship game. The conference is fairly balanced between western schools and mountain region schools.. Your school would not bring anything the MW currently lacks. If and when some schools leave I am sure you would be under consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakesbison Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Talked to a couple higher up at basketball tournament, NDSU fell 1 game short of a 3 straight trip to big dance .. They have spoke with the mountain west , waiting for some movement with the big 12 to start the domino's... cross your fingers, NDSU in the Mountain West would be a great fit!

nvspuds Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 North Dakota State is a fine school but it simply doesn't add anything that the MW needs..You are far far away from the vast majority of the conference, you don't provide a large tv market, and you are not nestled in a hotbed of recruiting. In addition, the MWC currently has 12 football playing schools so there is no room at the inn for you at this time.. Were the MW to lose a couple members they would be far more likely to just continue on as a smaller conference than add somebody else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakesbison Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 nvspuds. maybe NDSU brings Northern Iowa or Montana with them as partners. NDSU is ESPN's love child... we keep getting Gamedays & with the QB Carson Wentz love NDSU is HOT HOT HOT right now! It would definitely help out the conference, especially football & basketball. Thier Summit League had a higher RPI than MWC and NDSU football fans travel, just ask Colorado State,Wyoming... we brought 4000-5000 to each & it would happen every year! TV wise you get the Dakota's (fasting growing population in usa) and Minnesota markets. NDSU is run on Statewide broadcast tv thoughout the region, is any other members?

nvspuds Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Mr. Bison...Other than perhaps an incursion into Texas I don't believe the MW has any interest in expanding..There is very little money to go around as is.. In addition, NDSU is having great success where they are..You yourself say your conference basketball is better than the MW..Why not just stay where you are? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
