Re: A new and better FBS thread
MM continually refers to FBS as a "moonshot". That’s what I mean by not very bullish. I don’t see it as a moonshot. In fact, I see it as inevitable. Like ML said not too long ago, you don’t build facilities like this to stay FCS. A moonshot – with its connotations of extremely long odds - would be (fill in the blank) going FBS
The only thing missing is the right invite, and in my view it’s only a matter of time. MM seems to think it is unlikely to come, but like a lot of people around here – even some Bison fans – he grossly underestimates NDSU’s appeal, potential, and staying power. But hey, it’s a way of life up here, so flame away …

I’m not sure ‘moonshot’ implies long odds of success as much as a very complex huge ass project with massive implications.

Think that's money shot eh.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
After reading that article, I actually feel better. AAC has a fb only member and in the past as looked even farther West.
Doesn't mean it will happen....but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

* Don't really trust a couple of the 'Dakota' schools to invest either.

Too late the summit is already drowning. The summit needs to add a school to stay eligible. The Dakota schools are probably the most stable members except for NDSU wanting to jump.

Saw this coming as soon as the "you resigned", "no we didn't" arguments began. They tried to give "notice" of resignation, without actually resigning. It doesn't seem like that argument would fly in court. MWC claims they owe $17m now.
It will be very interesting to see if they can reach a peace settlement, or SDSU no longer has a conference to return to. They better pray something good happens for them with PAC or B12. Indy life sucks for most schools.
