Although competing in some ways, yes, but complimentary to each other more so.It's guys that argue like NDsportman that turns off all others from even wanting to discuss the situation. Can't just talk about the merits of NDSU without talking shots at UND. Amazing how people let something like that live in the head rent free for so long.I for one think NDSU needed a change. Games were boring, fan base wasn't engaged, hell even winning a championship had lost it's luster. Not sure I had the solution, but what I don't like with this move is the cost, the probation period (which is dumb to start with if your truely "moving up a division" why worry about it), and the teams that would've been fun to see NDSU play are all leaving and heading to the Pac-12. Will this be a good step, time will tell. What I hope it doesn't is turn into is medeocrity within that division with no true division rivals to NDSU or a future tuition cost driver for NDSU students. There was always good rivalrys with the SD & MT schools and now in state with UND. IDK, but from the outside looking in, playing the New Mexico Lobo's doesn't exactly screem yearly rivelry that excits the fan base like playing a neighboring state or community.</blockquote>
