Not crazy about this add, but if this means NDSU finally moves on to the Mountain West I'm fine with it.

Can't be any worse than Indiana St or (lately) WIU. And we get to pound them regularly!

This should mean the MVFC will institute divisions starting in 2023 unless another member(s) were to leave.  Could put SIU at a big advantage if they separate by regions.

  • With a schedule of only conference games 4 out of 6 years makes it difficult to schedule money games which if I am not mistaken makes up the budget for most schools to offset costs will make it difficult to sustain a program

I don't think she is saying that there will be an 11 game conference only schedule. I believe she is saying each team will play the other 11 teams 4 out of 6 years. That is 44 games over 4 years to play each team 4 times. I think they will keep the same 8 game conference schedule, which entails 48 games over 6 years. That means you will play 4 conference teams 5 times over 6 years and the other 7 conference teams only 4 times over 6 years.

This has the opportunity to have cluster written all over it. I was OK with adding basketball but their football program hasn't really been very good for quite some time.

What’s crazy they were picked at the top of OVC last year and struggled all season.

People thought Loyola was a terrible addition too. Now they're too good for the MVC, having dominated it for years.

Be very surprised if Murray doesn't up their game. I could care less what NDSU thinks. I'd vote to keep Murray but kick the Spackled Yellowchickens out.

I agree. Murray will elevate football program and be competitive in MVCFB. It will take a few years but they will get there.
