A new and better FBS thread

We should just schedule a bunch of crap and then lose to all the other dakota schools.


Colorado sucks.

They are on top of that we got 2 games in the coming years with the Citidel.

10 years from now we will be playing Shithouse Falls Community College for the National Championship with record low attendance.

I don’t get the pessimism. Must be a Nodak thing. Athletic has NDSU at the top of the list – NDSU, SDSU, UM/MSU, UTEP, NMSU, Idaho, Sac State. Guessing they’re a little more enlightened on the subject than mcfeely ...

This will all sort itself out in due time, but it seems obvious to me that NDSU wants this. Hoping they can swing the cash

Not a good look.

Well thats a ridiculous reason to stop contributing. As others have said, Jay is usually pretty careful with what he posts/sends out.

This is my big concern. Increased state support will be a no go, so all the cash will need to be firmly committed for any chance to move forward. Reminder to all that NDSU just went through the most painful reductions likely in its history. Dr. Cook will face blistering criticism both internally and externally if in any way this would appear to cost the University more money.

Ah! I see the tweet now: Jay Bartley on X: "Now that @NDSUathletics is going FBS, we have some catching up to do on the NIL side. Join the @GandGCollective today! Compete!" / X

For myself, I thought he was referring to all the "NDSU to Pac-12" stuff that was making NDSU trend yesterday - you know, in a humorous way. Maybe he should've put it in purple? The Pac-12 still needs to add at least two schools to get to the 8-program minimum so I guess I'm saying that there's a chance.e I really, really hope Hawai'i is one of the programs that Pac adds to get to Pac-8+.

Even thought the Mountain West got looted, I'll believe that NDSU is in the FBS when we play our first game.

The teams that were getting invited to the Pac-12 were already announced, right? Pac-12 Conference on X: "Good morning! It's a beautiful new day �� #BackThePac https://t.co/jfIU1Gk22u" / X

Kind of wish they'd have taken Hawai'i too.

Good news is they have to grab 2 more and that will help NDSU unless the ACC implodes and Cal and Stanford come home.

At least two more. I don't think that going with the bare minimum is going to be attractive to a conference that just lost 10 members.

Looking at the replies to Jay's tweets is hilarious - a lot of angry and confused UND fans.

I found the satirical tweet that may be responsible for stuff: College Football News Daily (@notderrico) / X

Their bio says "Fake News brought to you by @derrico_henrio. You really keep falling for this don’t you?"

^^^This

The typical college fan looking for something to watch when their team isn't playing is going to pick a game with NDSU over UC Davis or Sac State.
