As much as the dork in me would like to see some of those matchups, it would seem a top 30-50 type of D2 team against literally the fire breathing dragon champ of FCS wouldn't be a smart idea for the schools..meaning, other than a payday what good comes from it..and instead you take the air out of your own balloon and risk further injury against a higher level opponent (bigger, faster).
Finding a mid-level or so FCS would seemingly be more of a sweet spot. Maybe a USD, Lindenwood, or other such schools that would test you..get $$..and give you a goal that's not completely unattainable. As noted, the biggest challenge at least for 2023 is the actual open dates themselves. At the same time I'd guess the teams from the middle of the pack to the end would seek out a game they'd feel confident in securing a win..especially if getting W's has been hard to come by....and without Crookston in the league and now UIU....the conference has become more difficult top to bottom.
Current iterations of the teams? Not so much.

Really no need to single NSU out...SDSU would crush anyone in the NSIC. If NSU can beat Mankato and Winona think what the Jacks would do...
Zero chance either games would be a reality anyway.

I wouldn't discount the psychological benefits of beating an FCS team either.

I wouldn't assume an FCS team would offer MSU money to fill a hole in the schedule.

A month ago the league had a follow-up scheduling meeting for 2023..each team knows their bye weeks and we posted them on here at that time. Don't have it infront of me now. Unfortunately, I only saw 1 team yesterday in the NSIC with their 2023 schedule on their site at the moment = Winona. Although I didn't literally check all 13.
They are unsure on the format for 2024....if a 9 game schedule or 10 for conference..and since they aren't trying to have a match to 2023, that's why open dates could be different for 2024..unless something has changed there that I'm unaware of. Right now this is a 1 year at a time kinda deal..and we aren't even hearing much about games next year yet.
