I mean this is how things work today, but you have one athletic director saying he thinks it’s coming and you have another president saying he doesn’t think it is.Quote:

Seems like most these articles coming from the same press conference with OSU/WSU ADs.Quote:

No, it shows half of the PAC has interest in the concept. Which is unfortunate because that’s who the entire scheme is centered around.Quote:

The other half may not have a choice. Nowhere to go unless they join MWC.Quote:

The problem is this is just an echo-chamber. We can all want it, but telling us about it isn't going to change anything.Quote:

Not with us, but with the community. Getting bisonvillers to come on board is relatively easy. But I'm willing to bet that even if 90% of us doubled our annual contributions, it would barely move the needle.
You've said it before, NDSU should move up because our brand is marketable. If you want to put pressure on NDSU, you need to get some marketable names behind the effort as well because honestly, Chapo; tjamz; TAB; PL; Kevin; Scottie; etc... are the "Hoople" level investors in comparison.

To this point, NDSU has been mostly passive in whatever interest it has in moving to FBS. I've been told the people in the Mountain West who need to know of the Bison's interest have been told. Perhaps it's time to get more aggressive if the school is serious about pursuing a move up. If you want to be part of the action, you have to let people know. - McFeely

There is a reason teams like Boise and Oregon St are the ones pushing this model because they want some of the MWC members but not all of themQuote:
