I'm now in the camp of thinking ML needs to outright say we are exploring and want to move to FBS. Can even say no ones offered. I'm ok with that narrative being out there at this point. For one thing it would calm down the other FCS programs saying NDSU should just move up already.Quote:

I would be ok with way overpaying for such a thing as another statement that NDSU is bigger than the FCS and even the lower FBS.
I know those schools can get a $mil for an ooc game but some school has to be hard up enough to need a third payday. Think of the FCS teams playing two FBS games a year for the money.

Anything. 1660 alluded to things in the works “that they really thought the fans would like”. Something better happen this off-season otherwise we’re going nowhere and ML is just toying with us.
Ha! Nice oneQuote:

Just did a quick Duck-Duck-Go search. Unable to unearth any public discussion of University of Alabama attempt to expand the NFL.
I''ll keep digging...
And we are going to keep waiting .Quote:

Three of the top 25 are IV so they don’t really count. This is what we have to look forward to. 1 team does not belong!
At least you were kind enough to leave off the really, really trashy schools........like UNDQuote:

Some, like Delaware, have that potential but will they get ‘er done?……
Seriously what happened to Delaware and New Hampshire? Wow have they really fallenQuote:

We could possibly be on the march to another 3 peat and I'm all for titles and trophies but that isn't good for us either.
150-12 9 titles in 11 years what more do you want? there's nothing left at this level for NDSU!!!
Exactly why CFB needs a boss – to tell these overpaid posers to stop wasting time and do what’s best for CFB instead of padding their own fat asses even further. Unreal

Yeah...I wish it would be 12. Every FBS conference champion plus 2 at large. That would level the FBS playing field - every conference gets their best team in - and this is also why it will never happen.Quote:

Yeah, but Cincy had the chance. They got to compete for it, that's what you've been arguing.Quote:

No interest in going to Motor City Bowl. Bowls won't be around very long anymore anyways, give it 5 years at this rate. All my A&M coworkers are glad that TAMU didn't play theirs.
Good idea. Top 4 wait to see who they play after first round. 4 teams go home after first round. 12 thru 16 wait for 17 thru 24 for second level playoff first round. Exciting post season. Thre weeks of playoffs, done before the end of December for top tier and second tier. Eliminate conference championships, they are meaningless in the current environment.Quote:

I still feel we are a desirable option to add to many conferences. It's just a matter of finding the right opportunity at the right time. Enjoy this while it lasts though. It's truly special and should not be taken for granted.

Absolutely, people not having fun or enjoying seasons like this are fools. This will not go on forever and this could be the last championship in our lifetimes. Whether we move up or just lose the momentum. We are so fortunateQuote:
