MAC is not a good fit for NDSU. The MWC is a better fit with the schools in the MWC.
Why isn't the MAC a good fit for NDSU step up your game the school needs to get behind them and offer obvious support.
For a start
1 NDSU doesn't desire to play on Tuesday and Wednesday, lowering attendence.
2. Better competition in the MWC
3. More favorable destination road games, Hawaii, Vegas, Reno, Colorado Springs, San Jose for fans
4. North Dakota aligns better with a western conference.
5. If the other Dakotas and Montanas move up, it will probably be to the MWC.

The MAC has maybe the worst weekday schedule of all the G5 conferences. CUSA does weeknights in October, I know the SBC has a few weeknight games dropped in throughout the year. But the MAC devotes all of November, if I remember correctly, to weeknight football. Weeknights in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan tend to be pretty cold and bleak, and you can see the attendance numbers at schools drop precipitously from earlier in the year Saturday games to these end of season weeknight games.

I know that they are going to love the idea of playing against Hawaii for obvious reasons.

Former Bison Cole Wisniewski was drafted after transferring to Texas Tech.
Three ex-FCS who graduate transferred were drafted this year, mostly in the seventh round.
To be expected. We’ll still see NFL level talent on the field but inky for just a year or so. I wonder if we may see even more as athletes use FCS to raise their transfer stock?

I doubt it as it seems most young players hear FCS and are like what the heck is that? They would have to be convinced.
But I like the idea
And as more and more FBS schools continue to do the majority of their recruiting in the portal, it could lead to some good high school talent slipping through their net and going to FCS for a year or two.
The minor leagues, if you’re good, you’re going up

Every kid thinks they’re FBS level talent. Every kid at any level of college football centers believing their NFL level talent. Reality dictates where they end up. There limited seats at level. The choice becomes play at a level which will provide me playing time or quit the game.

Well, now the choice is I will go up a level to sit on the bench because I’m gonna get paid.

Somewhat true but that puts a ceiling on their aspirations. Get paid a little now because you’re one of 6 blue chips in the RB room with limited PT or take less now for a prove yourself and raise your NiL money next season or NFl stock.
