Unfortunately reality lies within the 2 completely obvious points taper brought up. Which are 100% valid but also doesn’t mean FCS is worth a shit anymore. The pickle continues.

So instead you just complain? How does that help?

Agree with you on invite. Disagree on regional partner. Though ideal, I don’t think it’s a necessity.

If the AAC doesn't invite NDSU for football only, that doesn't mean NDSU should stay FCS. From my perspective it feels like yourself and Taper (among others here) believe that an AAC or MWC invite with SDSU coming with is the only situation in which we should move. That is illogical. I think reality is that it is highly unlikely the AAC invites NDSU for football only which means that NDSU is going to have to settle for something less than that. The question then becomes what type of FBS invite is a step up from the current FCS. In my eyes, almost all of them. The only invite that I would probably say is not a step up from our current situation in FCS is an all sports move to the CUSA. If the CUSA invites NDSU as football only, the leadership needs to seriously consider it given all factors (provided we are not locking ourselves into a long term commitment). Are the current teams in CUSA going to move the needle for fans more than the MVFC? Probably not much but it would provide a path to better OOC games and potentially the CFP, even if it's a long shot. The current FCS situation has very little upside for NDSU football.

NDSU's LAST home game in AAC or MWC would be 11/19 (sooo 11/5 and 11/19 for home games) no snow and with semi enclosed roof & the field heated and lower bowl heated..... anything would melt.

Snow is the not the worry. Bitter cold on the other hand would keep people away…

And that said, bitter cold in November is not very common, even in Fargo…
