Moonshot? Please spare me the Hyperbole
Guys like McFeeley when discussing the move DII to DI in 2003 and now the move from 63 to 85 DI football, really do more harm than good. He talked about it with words like moonshot, trying to get us all to think it’s this incredibly high bar. We are not joining the B1G. We would be joining the likes of the Sunbelt, MAC, USA, MWC . . . heck it’s a natural progression that the likes of Coastal Carolina made. Moonshot-No, not even close, even in the MWC. Spare us with the hyperbole McFeeley, remind us again about your take on the DII to DI moonshot?
Moonshot-No
Hyperbole to the Nth Degree-Yes
Another example of media trying to shape our thinking incorrectly -Yes
Time to urge NDSU to do the right thing and move forward. An offer from the MWC isn’t going to come out of thin air. You’d likely have to play 2-3 years as an Indy or in a fledgling conf like the WAC, paying your dues, then earn a MAC or MWC opportunity. Just reality.
I know McF means well, but he is practically wetting himself over the current activity in the WAC, ASun, and Southland (Yawn). I’m no sure that’s the guy anyone should be listening to with regard to what NDSU needs to do for its future.

The WAC to pay dues????? That is an absolute garbage conference please explain how moving down the chain would help NDSU

What do you mean McFeely means well? He doesn’t write articles because he “means well”. He’s an instigator arguing with himself using clickbait articles. These are topics that have been discussed thoroughly for 8 years now and he acts like he’s cracked the debate wide open.
If he meant to add any real substance to the narrative, as a journalist he should’ve interviewed Bresciani, Larsen and Entz and written his article.
This is who McFeely is (I’m sure he’ll even be the first to tell you). I don’t know why people keep expecting more out of him. Stop clicking his articles and he’ll go away...

Same question was asked when they debated going D1/FCS yet here we are one of the top funded FCS schools.

exactly.
CFP money
Big Dance money
TV money
(if we go all sports into the MWC)
plus get some real fundraisers in place who are aggressive
Re: Moonshot? Please spare me the Hyperbole
McFeely wants us to move up. I don't so anything negative in his comments.

I agree- I think the OP 's comment is that he agrees with McFeeley in-so-far-as he believes we should go FBS, but disagrees that its this oUtRaGeOuS decision- when in reality is that it would be a bold move, but not in the least outrageous or unheard of. Just the natural progression of things.
I think McFeely worded it that way because of the kind of bloaks on this board who have stated over and over again that if we go FBS we'll somehow get WORSE recruits, LESS donations, LESS media rights money, LESS draft picks, WORSE coaches, LESS donations, FEWER fans, and would ultimately be relegated to the UMasses of the world lol.
I think his comments were more reflective of the general attitude of D2 bison fans who think getting a yellow jersey, or god forbid, a green helmet, will be the end of the program, versus how he actually views the jump to FBS. the Jump to FBS is not a moonshot, but getting 56 and the like to accept this obvious reality, IS, in fact, a moonshot.
