To a football purists, it's bad football to watch. NDSU forces them to play like that a lot of the times, but that's my point exactly, the quality of FCS is just really poor football.
I just lol at “purists” references.
That said, can I correctly assume you and Lakes and other complainers and FBS peeps will put your money where your mouths are? You know, like donate $5K right now—as in tonight? I just received yet another email from Matt Larsen asking me to contribute even more. I can forward it to you if you want. Let me know. I’m sure he/NDSU don’t discriminate where $$ come from.
And the lack of alleged competition is our fault? How was the blowout game against SDSU?
I don’t feel as tho the FCS is any different than FBS, DII, DIII (otherwise known as Lakes’s ceiling of athleticism), NAIA, etc. in terms of who can win it all and the have-nots. It’s fairly systemic on all levels really.
And, as for football “purists”: I watched two ND State Champ games last weekend and enjoyed the hell out of the games, but I’m not a self-proclaimed “purist”.

Fact is every level and every conference have their upper half and bottom half. Moving will just be a change of geography and new teams to talk about.

I'm assuming you're glued to the Eastern Michigan/Northern Illinois and Ohio/Bowling Green games that are on ESPN2 and ESPNU now then?
As a "purist" you must see a different game than I do because I don't see those games as any high caliber football than MVFC football.

I love watching these games because I love football. But Im not seeing anything thats heads and shoulders above our play.

Nailed it. If we are gonna actually look for better and sustained competition, we would have to involve ourselves, somehow, in an established FBS conference, which would take huge $$.
Meanwhile, most of the FBS proponents here are discussing the quality of food at local food establishments that cost $$ that they choose to spend at those rather than donate to NDSU athletics.
See where I’m going?
If not, think—>It’s all about “Me”!!

Re: NDSU American Athletic Conference?
ill make it so simple that even Cassidy and his Class 1A mind can understand.
Power 5
Group of 5
FCS
D2
D3
NDSU is in the 3rd Tier. I was told over and over again by Gene Taylor Dean and Stony Brook AD in the media that "NDSU will always want to remain in the 2nd division of football"
WELLL... WE'RE WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the AAC, UCF was ranked #5 2 years ago, SMU #15 this year Memphis #22 Houston was Top 10 couple years ago. NDSU can be like them. Heck Appy St is ranked in top 25
and NDSU's 2 systems at Kansas St and Wyoming have been ranked in top 25 this year.
WE BELONG!!! play that song in your head.

Alot more now that I am home with kids, but even after NDSU games, downtown fargo, the bars have ESPN and ESPN 2 games on and we watched them.
would you watch NAIA if NDSU was in it? that's about the same question youre asking. we would all elevate our football viewing to FBS when NDSU moves up.
the momentum is happening, so you might as well get on board.
