Yep, glad somebody official came out and said FCS is on the table. If he is talking high level it ain't Tarleton State or Sac State.

"A few" is 100 % correct

I swear fan forum chatter is 99% wild-ass speculation that never comes close to being real

I guess that's what these boards are for lol

One could make an argument that NDSU is a "high level program". We beat some folks.

For those with more knowledge than I have: Is it true that the G5 (or 6) money would be so much more, considering all the added expenses of FBS?

The other thing that gets me about this is why level of play does not factor in more… I understand tv market value, etc… but NDSU has already established itself as a national brand, and with the new 12-team playoff, every G5 conference should be thinking about the revenue that is brought in not only by the team making the tourney, but the residual impacts of having more eyeballs on your conference with more of your teams in the top 25.

Revenue is most definitely higher in G5 than even the top FCS. What they don't talk about is expenses. If someone has data feel free to correct, but I'm pretty sure every single G5 football program loses money if you subtract school subsidies. A (very) few FCS teams are in the black. We're one of them, although athletics as a whole is not.
College athletics as a business is a terrible investment. There's a coming reckoning with student athletes becoming employees. I think we'll be on the right side of that, but it won't be easy.

MTN West in deep discussions with UTEP according to Thamel. I would expect them to be invited and accept.
