This is our FCS future. Gas up the bus.
So, you're saying we have an invite that we are turning down?
Lakes twin just said Gene talked to the other conference commissioners.
I'm sure we'll strongly consider any invitations we receive. No more to really discuss.

What happened first, moving DI or getting an invite to the MVFC? You have to declare your intentions, thats Step 1, not the other way around.

Do you know of a conference that is willing to take NDSU?
How would you expect anyone but a University official know this?

GT already has stated that he talked to the MWC or WAC that when they were discussing expansion that he wanted to make sure NDSU was in the discussion. How much more of a declaration do you need?
Re: A new and better FBS thread
Unless whatever level we move up to has a playoff system similar to what we have now, I see no reason to move. I just can't get excited about waiting around for 3-4 weeks after the regular season for a chance to compete in the Sh*t.com Bowl on a Tuesday night in mid December in some hellhole like Detroit, MI or Shreveport, LA.
Unless you are in Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Fiesta, or Rose, the FBS Bowl system absolutely sucks.

WE ARE THE SOON-TO-BE-QUAD NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. Jesus Christ, with our attendance and are following we have something to offer to each of the 5 non Big Five conferences.
You are a fool if you don't think Taylor has talked to the Sun Belt commissioner, the MAC commissioner and others.
Then our conference invite must be lost in the mail....right? Hey I am not against a move up if or when it might happen. BUT WE DONT HAVE A CONFERENCE INVITE!! Some of you just don't get it!

Is that how it worked with GSU? You know exactly who said what to who and when? I love it when people are SO SURE about things they have no clue about.

Stating that you will begin an FBS transition in football starting in 2018. That is how you declare your intention. Doing so would generate serious discussions with conferences.
Making a couple phone calls is same as nothing.

Answer the question, did NDSU get a MVFC invite before or after a DI move was declared?

it doesn't work like that anymore. You can't move up and be an independent. If you declare without a conference and then no one takes you you've got egg all over your face and you're still FCS.
