How do you explain the other sports playing then?

Any one that is willing to take on a challenge. I had none in mind and we have to be realistic that we won't get 6 home games a year every year. Countering that with an FBS game is a hell of a lot easier to swallow than countering with giving UN_ a sold out home game they would never, ever get, giving them money, and us losing a home game. I can just about guarantee every kid on the team would rather play an FBS team than the Whioux from Whiouxville.
We need an FBS opponent for 2015 and every year IMHO. We want the $$ and I think it helps recruiting.

What does Florida gain by playing Florida State? What does Kentucky gain by playing Louisville? What does Notre Dame gain by playing Michigan?
Sometimes rivalries will have one team that is down and that is true for UND right now. Avoiding this rivalry is silly, immature, and ridiculous.
I completely disagree. Those schools can play 12 games, they don't have to have make a trade-off of either losing an FBS game or a sixth home game. Some of those games draw massive exposure for their program.
Until I hear a good reason to play UND that benefits NDSU in some fashion I will continue to be against the game.
For the record if NDSU could schedule 12 games I wouldn't be against playing UND. We could achieve all of our scheduling goals, sure they would benefit but at least it wouldn't be hurting us at the same time.
The NCAA got it wrong by expanding the playoffs....they should have let schools play 12 games every year instead. Now we have a watered down playoff field and in some instances some tough scheduling decisions to make as well.
