Adding a single school like UNC to the MVFC and Summit makes a lot more sense than the major shift you are talking about. This single addition would get enough football and baseball teams together to control their own destiny, which should make the presidents very happy without totally tearing up conferences.

The orgasmic factor in 1978 was Nevada, which was just joining.
The later loss of Nevada, Boise St and Idaho created the desire to slap DI labels on West Coast commuter schools like Northridge, Sac St, and Portland St and deulsionally believe that they were good replacements that would have massive TV ratings and build much better than Jr High gyms. Turned out entirely wrong.

In 2002, NDSU's President at the time, coming from Mont St, understood the issues, it couldn't ram through his proposal to the Big Sky. UND had two big arenas coming on line, was hosting the DII basketball championships, and dealing with local flood issues had too much on its plate for a DI transition. The Montanas worked out a plan for UND's acceptance longer term because we weren't a bull in a China closet.
