Looks like North Dakota State is coming:

Better than some of the dreck we’ve added

No realistic better add if it comes to fruition. Would be huge for the MWC moving forward.

Could you imagine if they come in and win the conference in their first season in FBS?

Surely they don’t stand a chance against our flagship programs of UNLV and Air Force, right?

I think they probably will. Both them and Montana State would have been near/at the top of the MWC this past year IMO. They can’t qualify for a postseason bowl for 2 years though. I’d bet they play an 8 game FBS conference schedule with 4 OOC FCS games for their transition.

They will be the new Boise with their fan support and resources.

I live in North Dakota and there fan support is nothing like Boise Sates.

This is because Toledo said no. It ensures Wyoming's, and the MW's future in FBS, on lowest rung. Keeps us from dropping to FCS. I hate that our management didn't do what it took to keep up as Utah, BYU, TCU, CSU, and now fucking Utah State has moved up.
