I think this is the first I've seen order of preference. If the Mac schools say no, then McMurphy made it sound like ndsu is next.

Conference schedule mostly. But adding NDSU football would be a huge get! Only Boise State has better nationwide brand recognition for football.

No. I am being truthful. North Dakota State has created a very recognized brand in football for such a small school.

I meant out of current MWC teams and teams the MWC is allegedly pursuing, NDSU’s brand is near the top.

Not saying they'd reach bsu level but you're analogy is pretty good especially bsu entering the wac. The new MWC will be along the lines of what the wac was when bsu entered. A lot of similarities.

I think they'd be a solid get, as long as we don't subsidize their entry to FBS.
