Yeah I guess it’s just something I think is really important. And it’s the off-season. Once the season fires up I’m all on board and I’m sure I won’t post in this thread as much. I’m sure that’ll make some people happy haha.Quote:

I know Chapo is his own worst enemy but I think there is some truth to the fact that NDSU leadership was caught off guard by the declining attendance and from my perspective it feels like that along with the moves by JMU, JSU and SHSU has finally forced their hand.Quote:

My idea of actively is not answering questions about FBS with “If the phone rings I’ll pick it up” or whatever the heck the quote was. The stakeholders do not see the vision or the direction of the AD and are cancelling their season tickets in droves because of it. I’m glad that you get some information and feel comfortable sharing it here. The vast majority of us are not so lucky.Quote:

Let the media see ROBOTIC BISON DOMINANCE IN THE FCS TM…. One more time.
The FCS. One more time.
EVERYONE will be questioning what can be done to get NDSU the hell out of the FCS when NOW is the obvi tim to get us out.
Tough shit. Let them come to NDSU. We have some requirements. We are done “attempting” to meet some “standards” that others get an exemption for.
Bison standards will be met. Bison set the standard. Not anyone else.
Lol

Makes as much sense as saying NDSU/SDSU would elevate CUSA.Quote:

They may have to rebuild that conference soon if half the members are poached.
Besides San Diego, they're on the same list as those you mentioned with cities IDGAF if I ever step into. In fact..never been to SD either. I hope they're missing me as much as I miss them. Great zoo I hear.Quote:

Again with shitting all over everything. Cool, you don't want to visit any of those cities. Realism would tell you that it isn't a stretch to say that on the whole the campus locations of the MWC are an upgrade over the campus locations of the MVFC. Why even add your "IDGAF" post? It literally adds nothing.Quote:

Good article on CUSA.

All that article does is show what a trainwreck the conference is.Quote:

The two best schools left still want to leave. WKU wants MAC and MTSU wants AAC.
Judy Mcleod tries to spin things in the press, but everyone knows she is a disaster. They just can't dump her for PC reasons.
Just to show you how weird things are these days..Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky were both in the Sun Belt and jumped ship for what was at the time the better CUSA.
LFG boys! Today's the day. CFB games getting fired up...beautiful late August weather. No better time than RIGHT NOW!
Low hanging fruit! Let's do it! Win the CUSA and a trip to Detroit for the quick lube oil change bowl little ceasars pizza bowl...that'll get the MWC's attention!Quote:

But it is quite a gamble to wait any longer if we're serious about FBS (spoiler: we're not). At the end of the day, what is true is that we are still in FCS with no apparent path to get into FBS without lightening striking in several places at once, while lesser FCS schools have made the jump.
Preferring to remain in FCS rather than moving to CUSA is a defendable position. I don't agree with it, but it is an honest and defendable position. To be clear, that was the choice. We have not chosen FBS in a better conference. We have chosen to remain in FCS rather than to become an FBS school in a bottom-rung FBS conference while attempting to make it better.
The guy before her lost E Carolina, SMU, UCF, Houston, and Memphis. That’s how first through the wall female executives get hired. Some guy makes an impossible mess then they give her the reigns because they’ve got nothing left to lose. They aren’t keeping her for PC reasons they hired her she’s still there because she hasn’t finished eating the shit sandwich the last guy put on her plate.Quote:
