What's the story with North Dakota these days, still hung up by the nickname thing, or just content to be in the Big Sky long-term? I'm just wondering how invites would happen if it came to it. The MVC HAS to protect its basketball product (and you'll find a lot of people here see this as a basketball conference first and would sacrifice football power to keep it that way).
NDSU and SDSU were a package deal for football I guess.
UND is in the Big Sky. They are a hockey school, basketball is an afterthought there. NDSU is not in anyway tied to them. SDSU and USD might have some more political issues.
NDSU is spending $32 million to renovate our basketball arena, I've posted that here before. SDSU has traditionally been a basketball school.
