The news many have been waiting several years to hear — North Dakota State football is nearing a move to the FBS and the Mountain West.
According to Yahoo Sports, the Mountain West is in serious talks with NDSU for the Bison to join as a football-only member starting this coming season. NDSU plays its Olympic sports in the Summit League, which wouldn’t be impacted by an FBS football-only move.
According to Ross Dellenger, Mountain West presidents have recently agreed to extend an invitation to NDSU. However, it would come with a steep entrance fee that could be in the eight figures. The figure has been a subject of negotiation over the last several days.
NDSU has won 10 FCS national championships since 2011. The administration has made it known over the last few years that it has an interest in joining the FBS, but no invitation has come.
Until now.
Stay tuned for updates.
