What do mean having travel partner how does that reduce travel costs for teams ? I can see it for golf and maybe track but I don’t see it for football and basketball. I must be missing something in travel partners.

travel partners are kinda a thing of the past but if sjsu is flying all their oly sports to dakota .....you play ndac one night a couple nights later (or the next) you drive up to gf and play und...you fly back with 2 conf games/matches on one flight bill.....

This is where you, me, our friend @SIOUXFAN97 all agree. Unfortunately, the only people that might not be aware how bad of a position they are in on the pecking order is the UND "leadership", the word leadership intentionally in quotes. 

And even putting it in quotes, the word is still being used very loosely.

Really kind of like your BSC experience, oh wait that was all sports.

Anything regarding costs pre-NIL / Revenue sharing era is moot. Completely different world.

Unlv,New Mexico, Air Force will be gone as soon as they can be

dont count on UND getting an invite from the MWC, ndsu will see to that 

I see Texas team getting the invites with Montana’s and sdsu 

I can’t see why northern Illinois was such a great get 

I’m sure the powers that be will want the ac to go full mountain west which I am for, let them ring up those expenses. 

Totally don't understand NIU moving to MWC. I'm sure there's a semi valid reason which I missed.

Maybe MWC wanted central time zone eyeballs??  Just a guess.

NIU is no different than any other D1 Illinois school that nobody cares about.  Watching one of their games shows that.

Didn't they play one of the SEC teams in a major bowl not that many years back?  IIRC they, NIU, had a really good dual threat QB.  Edit, his name was Jordan Lynch.
