Re: A new and better FBS thread
BOWL games are a big deal marketing/exposure wise why are people in minneapolis and iowa city splooging over the "possibility" of getting into 1?
NDSU is viewed the same as Mount Union, to be honest. Stony Brook AD with no desire to improve this university is our next newest hurdle in the PRO-FBS crowd, maybe at the alumni center tomorrow night he will say something to shake things up, but he's already just happy improving from the #2 guy at Stony Brook to NDSU.
Furthermore, MAC & MWC have ESPN TV rights, Valley has nothing, zip , zilch. We have ALREADY PROVED OURSELVES HERE, STAYING FCS WILL ONLY ALLOW FOR STAGNATION AND DECLINE.
FCS championships ranks #28 after all the other bowls according to these tv ratings going up against a Umass vs Villinova basketball game.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
Who won the MAC last year? What bowl did they play in? How did they do?
Now, my assertion on FBS is simple. B1G or B12. Get a conference invite from either of those and I will become a vocal and provide needed support for the move. However, please stop with the MAC and Mountain West dialog. There is no gain to NDSU to move to any of the G5 conferences. I believe it would be a net down move.
If you want to set goals, set them high. Mediocre goals are only for show. Be BIG or be small.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
I am all for the MWC, it would be a massive step up but there is this whole invite thing we have talked about eleventy billion times. Call me when they have an interest in expanding. Not sure how you guys can ramble on and on about it.

Yep, it sure has helped Western Ky, UMass, ODU and App State.

2 years ago it did.
Again you refer to the TV rights, but how many home games in Sept did the MAC or MWC have during the afternoon that were on ESPN? You are willing to sell your soul for November night time tailgating on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Watch attendance drop during those games because A) its a school night and B) why go out when you can just watch the game on ESPN. And for your argument about its once everyother year...go look at schedules for the past 3 years for weeknight games in november with the MAC. Its not the case. The only teams that haven't been totally screwed by the weeknight games are the directional Michigan schools. When I played, the best part about college football was Saturday afternoon. That was college football time, I love that NDSU has taken that same view and is playing all our games this year in the afternoon. (would be even better if they all started at the same time the national championship game did)
I'm all for FBS at the right time. But that time is not now. Let them screw up their cute little 4 team playoff for a couple seasons and then see where its at.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
Looking down your pointy noses at FBS teams and conferences is laughable by some of you. You have probably never been out of the fargo area and see what happens when you pimp NDSU. Look at the top 25 fcs teams and laugh.
NDSU is a top 100 research university playing with 200 ranked university's. Yet some of you would rather play paddy cake with sdsu und usd.....
Re: A new and better FBS thread
The MWC has a great TV deal, it should never be compared to the MAC. Lots of Saturday games, there are some primetime Thursday and Friday games. Also nice coverage for basketball, the MWC is a legit conference, a conference that will probably never want to invite us but nonetheless it is a great league.

I would prefer you promote NDSU. Unless of course you really mean pimp. Think about it.

I haven't spent more than 3 consecutive days in Fargo in well over a decade, and I think, at this time, moving up is not the correct thing for NDSU Football.
The juice isn't worth the squeeze at the next level in the current structure. All the benefits would go to administrators and none to the program.

I swore I wouldn't let this stuff under my skin, but really...where do you come up with this stuff? The guy hasn't started his job yet and you somehow, magically, know what he's about and where his goals lie? He's highly recommended by dozens of professionals in the field, including GT, and somehow you have some insight or supposed knowledge of this situation that leads to damning a guy before he steps foot on campus. For me, that's douchebaggery in its highest form. I hope someone points you out, and provides a recap of all the sh!t you've been yakking about him.
