Tarleton State? Oh my ...

Can't beat that Texas advantage. 

 

My favorite part of all this is that there were some NDSU fans that thought they were 100% getting an invite to the MW. And now they will cry about it.

If I was the Dakotas or Montanas and wanted to go FBS. I’d move up and be independent, with what is going on now they would be in the discussion to go PAC-2/8/10/12 or Mountain West. Instead of hoping for an invite to move up. 
 

These school need to be proactive instead of reactive.

The NCAA is changing their bylaws so conferences no longer have a minimum team sport requirement (non team sports will satisfy membership requirements now).  As such, I'm not so certain I'm still on board with hockey being intertwined with the Summit League.  Football would make a heck of a lot more sense though, IMO, but it's impossible to make a radical change like that with so much membership uncertainty.  Can't stand the management of the MVFC.

It has to make fiscal sense. 

The way that pencils out for me is Dak4* as a pod of CUSA or SBC or MWC. 

Part of the ledger has to stay cost contained and sane. 

 

*if not USD take in UST instead

Wonder if enrollment is also playing a factor in the MWC’s decisions making? NDSU keeps declining while Tarleton and UTEP are growing. 

Think: students in region to recruit to your school. Texas wins.

location.

By location teams can get to most places by jet, and maybe a bus ride from there.

Washington state I think flys from Spokane

Grand Forks and Fargo have better access to jet service than some p4 teams 

to me location has more to do with the size of TV markets

But I thought Fargo was "The Center of the Known Universe"? Isn't that what KVLY and WDAY want us to believe? :silly::p:wink:

DFW-Austin-San Antonio-Houston may disagree.
