El Chapo's hometown newspaper tackles the NDSU to FBS question
http://www.wahpetondailynews.com/spo...85c02b00e.html
Idaho is in the Sun Belt. CSU, Air Forice, and Wyoming are farther east than the Montanas so point 1 is moot. If the MWC really wanted us they would come after us. Location is important but not a huge deal. His point 2 about needing a bigger stadium no we wouldnt. We average larger crowds then some FBS teams already. Not saying we should move up, just pointing out somethings that people are wrong on.Quote:

(heck he doesn't have AD experience period)

lets say NDSU joins the MAC as a Football Only... thats 5-6 home games and ONLY 5 trips to (Northern Illinois, Western Mich, Central Mich, Ball State, Toledo) that wouldnt be that big of a deal, we fly anyways to every school.
Welcome to tuesday night football at the FargoDome. Kick off is set for 9:30 as the second half of the ESPNU double header.
bullshit. that would maybe happen 1 time in like 4 years. big deal.
there is only 3 weeks of MAC TUE/WED games this year.
Central Michigan isnt in any of them...so you dont necessarily get stuck on tue/wed night.
but keep the fear mongering up

Mid-American - West W-L PF PA W-L PF PA STRK
Toledo 3-0 96 70 4-2 208 197 W3
Northern Illinois 1-0 17 14 4-1 157 118 W1
Central Michigan 1-1 56 52 3-3 127 149 W1
Western Michigan 0-1 19 20 2-3 160 145 L2
Eastern Michigan 0-1 6 31 1-4 54 214 L4
Ball State 0-1 23 34 1-4 110 121 L4
NDSU would win this conference every year!

So whats the challenge? Whats the upside to moving up? I thought you wanted to reach for the stars and not stagnate?????? It seems we have better competition where we are. And a playoff system.
30 straight wins 38-10 over #11 team. Impossible to find tickets it was boring we didn't even play great on offense!!
Lots of calls on bison rewind pimping fbs new stadium etc. It's time people
Yet, I am laughed off the show again, and ripped by a fellow poster in the GDT thread. I just don't understand why some many consider the current situation "good enough." It is not and NDSU can still do better, and no, I don't think we should immediately move to FBS.Quote:
