Your right. I am stubborn. I have said for many years they will grow into it. Coach Bohl once told me it was their long term goal. I think When the money is right they will go.. 2027 is rumored..

Lots of negatives More fundamental than the FCS move.

Under MWC rules prospective members must file an application available from the conference. Probably see that first. Right now things sure seem to be happening.

Someday we may see Mankato etc.They are growing too. (Mankato 13,395/NDSU 11,952)

The 18 million people talk about sounds suspiciously like the 18 million from the not-yet-realized settlement funds ear-marked by the MWC for future expansion. They also appear to need an expansion of the media deal to pay new teams

NDSU should be able to schedule OOC Conference USA, The MAC & Sun Belt. Along with the MWC it’s the new FCS. They may still have to schedule FCS squads especially early in the transition.

2026 MWC Schedules came out:

NDSU if in MWC would play :

at NIU
H San Jose
at Wyoming
H UTEP
at UNLV
H UNew Mex
at Air Force
H Nevada
at hawaii

2 Car Rides for Fans (NIU-WYO)
1 Denver Flight to Air Force
1 Vegas Flight to UNLV
1 awesome vacation in Hawaii

That even looks better now that I saw this Lakes As explained in the article there are some catches but it’s clear MWC access to the CFP is assured

According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in the Spring of 2024, the champions of the SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big Ten receive a berth in the postseason field, plus the highest-ranked non-power-conference champion.

OOC add Gophers, the FCS champions and of course UND if they dare play.

The entz bowl would be fun.

Fuck that guy. Total non-bro.

ANOTHER MWC PODCAST TWEET!!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I heard the way had been cleared and it’s up to NDSU. Do they still do campus visits? New members do need to apply. With so much favorable MWC fan support this all seems probable.

Maybe it will just be a merger? MWC playoff spot and overall conference weakness make it an attractive proposition. Details, if ever disclosed, will be interesting.

Good place for NDSU to start. Half the new MWC is on this list.

NDSU Is really putting on a display of power. Stoic. Not a word out of them. Drama is building. Fan talk is running wild. Is SDSU in? What is cooking?

Heavy smoke but no fire, not yet. We need to hear from The President.

Drumpf won’t have much to say about it bro.

I was thinking the President of the university. He probably watched the CFP & FCS games. Like me he probably noticed the dramatic difference in scale.

After this mornings brief moment of excitement the reality of the move once again set-in. I can’t imagine a CFP game in the FFD. Inadequate is polite. Long way to go to play at that level of football.
