*************************
Facilities are top notch (new basketball, track arena's within a year)
Fargo ND, 200,000+ in Metro area, Big Airport, 3 hours from Minneapolis
Who wants us? honestly, our football team deserves the FBS.
The WAC. You're probably too far west for the MAC plus they've shifted east.
The WAC needs NDSU and 5 other schools to begin their transition with the 2012 season. In 2013 all 6 of those schools would need to join the WAC for all sports.
North Dakota
South Dakota
South Dakota State
Montana
Montana State
to come with you and the WAC will welcome you with open arms.
If that actually happened, the Summit League would be down to the following:
Nebraska-Omaha
Missouri-Kansas City
Western Illinois
IUPUI (Maybe)
IPFW
Oakland
If IUPUI leaves for the Horizon League that would leave the Summit at 5 schools, and they would need at least two more who are active members of Division I to retain an automatic bid-it looks like Chicago State and NJIT would be the first calls, and NJIT might not be available much longer. if NJIT wasn't available, then UTPA and/or Utah Valley would be next on the list.
The prettiest woman I've ever seen in my life was in Fargo, North Dakota of all places. I like the NDSU logo, but that's all I know about them. I think the WAC is dead as far as football is concerned. I hope they can replace my alma mater (SJSU) and all the other teams that are leaving, but I wouldn't bet on it.

It's a Dome so I doubt there will be expansion.
It is also one of the loudest places we've ever played at.
The Fargo dome is much louder than Alabama's Stadium last season when we played in both. I don't mean a little bit louder, I mean like a damn NASCAR race was taking place kind of loud.
