Amazing how uninformed Chapo is about CUSA, yet he wants to join this trash conference to say "yay, we fbs now"
All 35 facebook fans watching the games will cheer. Everyone else will forget we exist.
Thank goodness our school isn't run by morons.
Disgusting. Literally does nothing to bring excitement to NDSU football. I'll save a lot of time and cash on roadtrips to games though.Quote:

Just like I don't need to know what kinds of things my favorite restaurant or shoe store are discussing behind the scenes. If I owned a retail store that partnered with a major manufacturer I would have different expectations. Fans of a sports team don't have that same need to know. I'm more interested to hear the results of the rules committee meeting on March 1. That directly impacts me.Quote:

For the record, WKU and MTSU are staying. Both talked to the MAC, the MAC said yes(informally), then MTSU backed out and said they were staying in CUSA, and the MAC said it was only interested in both, so WKU's informal invite was withdrawn. WKU not exactly happy about the whole situation.Quote:

For the moment ... meaning likely another year or two. Ultimately, both want to leave this garbage.Quote:

WKU is also supposedly still talking with MAC, and there are rumors of WKU + Missouri St moving to MAC instead.
another day not closer.....
So you assume. You have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, nor should you.Quote:

I suppose Thursday is your day so have at it. Get to your quota of 12 posts and shame on me for coming to BV today. Just remember that you're muzzled tomorrow per the Agreement, Article 14, Para 14.01.6a Dissemination of Nonsense in a Public Forum.
oh cmon. you guys been saying the same things for years . it's all a facade at this point
Fact is you dont have a clue whats been going on behind the scenes. All you are doing is spouting uninformed opinion.Quote:

No idea who "Matthew Dixon" is but he clearly has an antiFBS agenda for NDSU. The lone comment sums it up perfectly.
Sorry Matt, not buying it. It's just a newer version of what you wrote in 2018.
One of the first things (posts, articles, tweets, etc) I've read that actually has some actual data to it...you don't say.Quote:

Those facts are about as useful as lakes'. You can't simply assume twice the travel and gameday expense budget linearly based on distances.Quote:

Yeah, it's probably more expensive. As even Matt Larsen himself has said multiple times on Bison 1660: The money at FBS works out a lot better than people think it will. A better analysis would be to compare the change in overall travel for the schools already in the potential conferences. Those are the ones who would determine if NDSU was joining anyways...
Kudos for getting me to click on a .net url by the way. I forgot how exhilarating it was.
except he is using data from pre 2019, we are 4 plus revenue years from any "financials" he is using/discussingQuote:

Any opinion that starts with a detailed look at the B1G as an NDSU FBS option is a joke right out of the box. The air miles look correct, though.
It’s a year old already anyways. Sorry, my bad. I honestly can’t remember if I already saw it. Saw it on a Mac board.
In 2018 I agreed with him, but now (next 2-3 years) the right FBS invite is NDSU’s to go get. Playoffs will expand to 12 and P5 won’t split away, so best go get after it.
Looks like we’ll know who the new POTU is tomorrow.
What you don't know is if those checkbooks support it or not either. Perhaps the NDSU admin does know that.Quote:

In fact, the Bison lost $41,000 in football for the 2018-19 season despite drawing an average of 18,000 fans per contest for 11 home games.
Define "lost money" lol. Do you count donations? How about merchandise? Licensing? TV deal? There is so much "general revenue" (and general expenses) across every AD, it's probably impossible to quantify apples to apples.Quote:

Travel for football is a complete non issue. The concern is travel for the rest of the sports if we get an all-sport conference invitation, although admittedly there aren't many bus trips as it is. Also, I don't think any sport other than football flies charter. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
That's probably true.Quote:
