A new and better FBS thread

Most people don’t even realize the difference between FCS and FBS I’m guessing.

According to the poll, women and democrats are in favor of moving to FBS, but men, republicans and especially independents are not.

And, it isn't accurate to say 48-27% among Bison fans. It was 48-27% among fans for whom Bison football is their favorite team. There are plenty of UND hockey fans and Vikings fans who also like the Bison. I think just about every doctor and lawyer I know was a NDSU undergrad and a UND law/med school grad. Dual loyalty is thing.

At first I was going to say you were flat out wrong...but after reading what you said a couple times, you do make good points. I'll have to ponder. The 48-27 amount is surprising...and can't be discounted. It just can't. But, your point about dual loyalty is a thing, no doubt...which does cloud things. Probably the biggest thing I took away from it was the percentage of people that didn't care. That is surprising. That is the market the FBS crowd needs to target.

mcfooly and his douchy counterparts rigged this for clicks. fake news. what a joke

Well then there's hope for the country, as this proves that a republican can find common ground with a democrat. Rare. But it can be done.

I don't believe it was rigged. I do support going to the MWC, though. They offer, we take. Now go make it happen. Until then, go raise some money.

EC, you know I'm a fan and a defender. But that's just adorable. For reasons you yourself have identified, we likely aren't going anywhere. I'll be very happy to eat my shoe-phone if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly confident that won't be necessary.

It would get more clicks if it said fans were sick of FCS and wanted to move up.

I think the casual fan wants to stay FCS. I never even hear FCS/FBS debate brought up, unless I'm the one mentioning it.

The "hate click" business model. The only way mainstream media can generate web traffic these days.

And we are by far the most popular college team in the state, way above un_ hockey. Read it for yourself. https://www.inforum.com/bison-media-...FCS-poll-finds

Is there a break down by city? I am very interested in the results for Hoople.
