I think your kidding yourself if you think that Kupchella has a invite lined up. The quest for a conference isn't hopeless, if NDSU and SDSU get into a conference, UND's logic would be that since they are so close to both that's it's a given for them to join the same one. It will be interesting 2 years from now if NDSU is in the Mid Con and UND doesn't have any good propects for a conference if Kupchella will put the trigger? Or is UND committed? Pretty hard to go back to your athletes and tell them dii is forever.
