I just do not get the resistance to even the idea of NDSU as a football-only plus a take-your-pick of South Dakota State and JMU. All of those schools would strengthen the league. NDSU in particular could provide a top 25 team some years, much the way Marshall did for the MAC 20+ years ago and recent FCS call-up App State has for the Sun Belt.
Pretty sure the resistance comes mostly from NDSU. I don't think they or their fans want to go to the MAC. The MAC division winners went to the New Mexico Bowl and the Lending Tree Bowl, I think NDSU would rather play for FCS titles than that.
Next year the #2 MAC will play in the AZ bowl against a #2/3 MW team.
