NDSU to MWC

[EagSpectator]

Not a done deal, but looks to be up to the MWC entry fee.

Delaware and Missouri State just finished their first year in the FBS.

I don’t really understand if Sac St is going FBS or not until they can be excepted into a conference? But there’s another.

Read somewhere that it’s also Montana and MSU. If they’re gone would it make sense to rename the conference to something else? I mean, “Big Sky” wouldn’f really apply anymore.

I don’t think this is true.

Where’d you see that?

Anything could happen, but I haven’t seen anything on the Montana’s leaving.

$12 million conference fee plus $5 million moving from FCS to FBS fee? Fuck that.

I think NDSU will be in over their head if they leave. The other teams in MWC have even more money than they do and have more populated areas. Right now they are a big fish in a small pond. APP state comes to mind right away. They might have a season or two where they sneak up on some teams but they wont dominate .

Maybe. I think they will be competitive. Who's even left in the MWC that's worth a shit as a program?

Fair point. Most of the competitive programs left for the new Pac-12.

Even more outrageous is Sac State's price tag to move to the MAC which exceeds 25 million.

That's insane. Geographically, seems like it would make more sense for NDSU to go to the MAC and Sac to go to the MWC.

I guess they think it's worth it, although I'm not sure how much media coverage the MAC gives them. Maybe they're just treating it as a means to an end to eventually get into the MWC. Still, I have a hard time seeing them getting much success in FBS football.

I think NDSU will be just fine. Sac State, however, I'm not so sure of.

It was their only option.
