But he really doesnt have to do anything as NDSU has been a good conference mate and hasnt violated any rules for such an action.  And they arent about to on one of your whims. Correct.

I've certainly found that internet polls from a place with very passionate people is the best way to make decisions.

If they are "bored" with winning, and are predicting instant success in the MW, won't they get bored with that in a couple of years? But have spent millions for this boredom with no more "marches"?

I gain alot of respect for NDSU having them move to the Mountain West. I will likely cheer for them against the Mountain West. It does feel as though it makes UND football weaker as a whole though.

Would you rather have an amazing football program or a great hockey history and program?

Well both would be great, but personally I'd choose hockey

I will reserve judgement until we win our first FCS championship.

Looks like Sac St going to the MAC.  $18 million entry fee plus the $5 million NCAA fee, damn.

The sad thing is if we want to move up we'll need them to succeed.   If they all flat on their collective faces we won't be going FBS.  It's not what I like but it's the reality of the situation.   Let them iron out the kinks and show what works.

I don't think UNDs ego needs us to move up. Maybe if we won 6-8 FCS championships and got bored etc as NDSU has.  If all the D3, D2, and FCS teams had these big egos there'd be even less stability in college football. After all it's a college pastime, not a financial life or death situation. Enjoy the game, not the stress envy.

Nothing really, but we were about as sportsmanlike with St. Olaf as NDSU was with us. 😆 That, and winning 2/3 of the team titles in an 11/12 team league, it was pretty clear it was time to go. I was upset at the time, but having a few years to reflect on it, I get why the MIAC did what they did. The mission of our athletic department was incompatible with the rest of the conference. That said, it's sad UST has left the football program out in the cold while they pour money into everything else.

Maybe it's time to follow St. Cloud and substitute hockey for football.

I don't suspect I'll be doing any such thing. Lol
