Seems like we've gone round-n-round in multiple threads about possible replacements and we seem to keep coming back to Jamestown and DSU. Appears to me that there isn't exactly a great fit, unless we choose to rapidly expand out geographic footprint, which is quite large to begin with.

Maybe they did and it got leaked or maybe someone made it up. Who knows.
We can keep talking about additions of schools but I'm more sold on the idea that we will have a break up.
I've said before I think it will be based on a "haves and have-nots" type of deal. Certainly doesn't mean that will be the case but I think that seems much more likely. Two smaller conferences with either of them able to add some of the named potential schools we have had.
I dont really like it or want it but it seems more likely to me than all of this uncertainty and odd nunbers mess.

I'd have to look, but I think I was responding to someone else making that claim and didn't make it myself - but you could be very right. FWIW, I do think NDSU would compete well in the Big 10 (for football). I was just analyzing the reality of the claim that they could join.
I live in Jacksville, so I totally get the oddness that can come with the *DSU school fanbases. Especially as someone who didn't attend.
It wasn't just him though. I work with about 30 bison fans, i deliver to them all week, 52 weeks a year. Almost every hard-core one believes the same thing. Certainly there are more level headed fans out there but from my experience, that's what it is.

I don’t see how Bellevue is an option if we need a football school. They don’t help us with that!

It was BS that those 2 schools were allowed to stay without football. If they were told they couldn't stay in in conference without football I'm sure they would have found a way to keep FB, especially SCSU.
They were required by Title IX to add a men's fall sport, so they chose men's soccer - which the travel cost alone is probably insane.

I agree on the Bellevue being a good fit at D2. Big $ support and enrollment. Great athletic footprint and location as well. But i may be a bit biased being a BellevueU grad lol

very good find. The loss of Presentation will cause dominos in many possible ways. Dickinson could go out to Montana and Idaho in that league, but that is not a good option for Mayville and Valley City.
Dakota State will probably now look to D2 as the GPAC won't want them as the GPAC is private schools.
Waldorf will end up in the Heart of America with the other Iowa NAIA schhols and Peru State and Missouri schools,
I suppose they could always merge with the Heat of America and keep the Dakota schools too and have a North and South. Peru State won't like that as they would ebd up in the north with more travel
Dakota State has some big plans so I suppose it might work to join the NSIC. Jamestown apparently has smoney and some big plans too, but their enrollement is small. Dakota State has a bigger enrollment.
Bellevue would actually be a good D2 fit except no football, but they have big enrollment and money
