soooo if that's your pinnacle, we're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Ahhhh who gives a shit if people are asking when will we move up? Its none of there business. NDSU will move up when or if they get and invite and or when it benefits NDSU. Not there curiosity or somebodys ego.

Plenty of us do. hard to see the untapped talent that the NDSU program possesses when it keeps winning championships at a level the majority of the country doesn't watch.

I just dont see the benefits of staying here.

*cue the "DONATE the 25 million it takes to move up" comments. *

Please explain how it is untapped talent when we keep winning championships? You seemed more concerned that certain parts of the country dont know about us as opposed to what is best for NDSU at this moment.

There's always going to be a capped bubble until you are in the Power 4 or 5 conferences. And even then if you aren't in the SEC, you are handicapped also. So unless you have a way to get NDSU into the SEC, there is always some sort of capped bubble.

What greatness is there in the mountain west? Or Mac? Are you serious??? Are you watching these crappy bowls?

The bold above is the problem. IMO...most of the pro FBSers just want to be able to say NDSU is FBS. Thats the only reason. Who cares if people keep asking? Why cant the answer be..."Because the bowl system is a joke"

How isn't national prestige NOT on the top of anybodys list?

Its preposterous to sit here and argue that staying FCS is what's best. Its a money driven sport now. 8 straight FCS championships don't add up to squat at the FBS level. Again, at what championship does it stop at when we're thinking "OK this team we're playing can barely bring 1000 fans to their biggest game..every game not involving NDSU is half emptied stadiums".

NDSU is far too good for FCS. The programs in this division are embarrassing outside of what, 3? unacceptable...but to some, thats the top of the mountain. Kudos i guess.

Did you see the EIU, EWU, SeLa, SHSU stands?

yea, theyre like those meaningless bowl games. but this is for the playoffs. NDSU deserves better than schools who can't afford to pay the electrical bill

I'd love for NDSU to be in the MWC. It is where NDSU belongs.

With that said I don't see it happening anytime soon.

What does the opposing teams fan support have to do with quality of play? I understand what you are saying. But I dont think your talking points arent the catalyst for moving up a division.
