That wasn’t mind blowing. People were talking NDSU going DI before I even got on campus in the Fall of 1995.Quote:

In my current role as internet manager where I work I talk with vendors from around the country.

Each of them asked the formalities "I see you are in Moorhead, how long have you lived there" and when I tell them "I actually live in West Fargo, ND but work in Moorhead" they all say something to the effect of "Fargo, ND? Home of NDSU/Bison football. Man you guys have been dominant! Going to win it all again this year?"
Now I'm not sure if that is an endorsement for us to move up as we have a national following/awareness or a testament to how well our current situation is going and how well our brand is growing under our current model and that we should keep doing what we've been doing.

That game was on the schedule for a few years so if I am correct the NDSU leadership is doing their due diligence and will make decision one way or another based on this and a host of other factors.
Great point. Can't believe I didn't consider that. Actually the beauty of it is your dumbass doesn'tn get to decide what fans want to do even though you've been yelling it out loud for 5 years.Quote:

Correct. Because moving up to a lower level FBS conference will diminish our brand. But the attention whores don't see that. They'd love that 10 PM Central Time game on ESPN2 instead.Quote:

Google is awesome. And also there's 4 teams no one gives a shit about besides their own fans. So tell me again what the benefit is?Quote:

staying at fcs is only way to diminish the brand..there is nothing left to accomplish in the FCS. Diminishing attendance and enthusiasm every year we stay... these other teams are completely inferior..Quote:

I think it was simply a way to get a little paycheck from Target Field since we didn't have any FBS money games.Quote:
