The thing is my Illinois State is looking at making a move to the FBS level, if I'am not mistaken UNI is looking at that as well, throw in NDSU, and a Youngstown with Tulsa is already being there, and walla.
You CAN'T CREATE A CONFERENCE....NOR CAN A CONFERENCE MOVE UP AS A WHOLE.... LITERALLY NOTHING LAKES HAS SAID MAKES SENSE....OR IS EVEN POSSIBLE.
If the schools want to move up, that's great. It's going to have to be individually.
There isn't an FBS conference that is going to take UNI, ISUR, YSU, and NDSU as a package....
There isn't a cofnerence that is going to take more than 2 FCS teams....
Hell, I bet there isn't a conference that takes 2 of them. The best bet for both ISUr and UNI is to try to get one to take 2 of us...and hope it's the MAC.
No FBS conference wan'ts any part of going to Fargo.
For the MVC, UNI is the closest team to NDSU, and that distance is still more than that of UNI's longest trip, sans Evansville, WSU, and MSU.....all of which are less than 100 miles further than Fargo. All of them already in the conference and have been for a long time.
That's for UNI.
1000 miles from Evansville to Fargo
950 miles from Carbondale to Fargo
850 miles from Terre Haute to Fargo
800 miles from Springfield to Fargo
740 miles from Wichita to Fargo
700 miles from Normal to Fargo
700 miles from Peoria to Fargo
500 miles from Des Moines to Fargo
450 miles from Cedar Falls to Fargo
You can double to triple those for the MAC, at least triple for CUSA, WAC, and MWC
