At some point Tony needs to rename this thread "Tear Apart Everything Lakes Says." Sometimes it's amusing, sometimes it's regurgitation, but it always seems to come back to that.

if all our ex coaches can be successful in FBS with our system. NDSU should be. Hell if NDSU would've went FBS in 2013 just think of the success & national brand we could have by now
Weren’t people on here saying the Big12 was dead not too long ago?

With the exception of our track/Xc programs, we are no where near competitive at an FBS (solid conference) level, and likely will never be. Aren’t we already Football-only in MVFC? That’s what we need to do going forward—football only FBS.Quote:

Golf is an outlier maybe, cuz Slick claims he plays that well, and SDBison paid to be a member of some league near Tea Sodak, so….
it's called RECRUITING & Transfer Portal.Quote:

Reports are that the Big XII deal with ESPN/Fox (63%/37%) includes a pro rata for the conference: If they add a member the deal goes up the amount of a current share. (There is some noise that only ESPN is doing it, not Fox.) BUT ... the pro rata clause only kicks in if the new member is an existing P5 member. If the Big XII plucks say from MWC pro rata does not apply, the deal does not go up.
With the new deal there's no incentive for the Big XII to pull from any G5 conference.
That tells me if they do expand they'll be going after the "four corners" of the PAC.
Expanding athletics funding while contracting academics funding. It won't be a good look to the general public (looking for workforce) or the Legislature.Quote:

Elaborate more on good look for the public eh.Quote:

Oh hey, funny how you thought there'd be more indigenous peoples' remains found at NDUS institutions. Guess you were right...
You guys remind me of an old Marx brothers scene:

Wagstaff: ... Where would this college be without football? Have we got a stadium?
Professor One: Yes.
Wagstaff: Have we got a college?
Professor One: Yes.
Wagstaff: Well, we can't support both. Tomorrow we start tearing down the college.

Maybe this academic budget contraction will finally provide your team the opportunity you've been looking for to catch up to NDSU athletically. Seems on brand for UND to look to such strategies.Quote:

The conferences that would provide a “majority” needed for increased funding aren’t inviting NDSU.Quote:

LIBERTY beats Arkansas.... but ya I'd rather beat WIU
I love when liberty is successful because it proves that Jesus is real and a republican. I’m also sure it makes ECE8HC uncomfortable so win-win.
