Schools also would be required to offer at least 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million in athletics scholarships offered.

Pricey privates want a dollar number; cheap publics want a grants number; so require both and make nobody happy <-- the NCAA way!

You seem very invested in the idea that NDSU can't move up. Why would this be so important to you?

did you ever think it might be mutually beneficial to und that the other dak3 are in a position to move up and that if 1,2, or 3 of them aren't qualified it might hurt und's chances of getting a FBS invite if it required a travel partner?

same thing over in montana.......are they happy playing colin cowherd university? what if one is happy with he bsc and one wants to jump to FBS but their counterpart isn't hitting the requirements and a travel partner was a requirement?

What I said was, "None of that is insurmountable (money and a plan), but there are more moving pieces than first glance would have one believe."

It's more than taking a phone call and a hearty Chapo "Let's goooooooo!"

Every school, UND, NDSU, SDSU, USD, Montana, MSU, Idaho, has details to work out.

If having a plan is required for movement then UND is screwed.

you can say that but numbers and facilities say otherwise.

LOL so isn't just Waldorf and Statler. (sick & abc12dumbass).. its the 3 stooges here. WTF>

all they (and me ) are saying is get your (ndsu) crap straight bc unlike 20 years ago the flagship university of North Dakota is ready for business
for a travel partner GF is much much more appealing to whatever conference is calling than Brookings SD....

get your title 9 stuff figured out.

women's hockey will forever be the dumbest move und ever made........

tell larsen to not add women's hockey....equestrian is where it's at!!!!!!!

get this und fantasy shit off of this FBS thread

we are talking with the big boys, your pissing with the puppies!! NDSU is on multiple lists and articles for expansion.

list?
which ones?
links?

it's either mwc or bust for the dak4...either they take 2 or 4...no way a school sends their teams this far north for oly sports without a 2 for 1

Boy those chiclets turned red in a hurry…

Have you seen the conferences. Big 10 is from LA to New York. Mountain West is 100% air travel. Only the MAC is a bus league. Besides we want a football only invite

The MW is not 100 percent air travel. There are lots and lots of bus trips.

We do? Take your pick of St Thomas, ORU, Denver, UMKC, or Omaha....Who bails on the Summit first? Who's the first to cut programs? Potential replacements are slim to none, unless you're looking forward to the NCC 2.0.

For whatever reason it seems like there are always enough people with pull in Bismarck who are happy to see other people’s money spent on horses.

Would love to see us join MWC for all sports, but McFeely seems to think the admin views it differently and is content with Summit. He has constantly had the "football only" qualifier on this. Bringing the nonrevenue sports might be too expensive, unless we can bring other schools like SDSU along.

Dom Izzo was saying today on his show that the NDSU administration was not very optimistic in the chances for FBS after the PAC fell apart. Sounds like NDSU was waiting for the MWC to lose members and need a backfil. Sounds like they are at least trying

Fate of the PAC4 is still unclear.

Some talks of OSU/WSU to B12 at a partial share, and CaliStan to ACC.

There's also still talk they may try to rebuild PAC with a combo of AAC/MWC teams. They need at least 2 more (6 total) for next year to survive.

I don't understand the delusional und fans about their athletic dept. Look at 2022 which has to be the worst sports year in their history.

It's hard to understand this isn't about NDSU's travel, isn't it.

travel for FOOTBALL is MEANINGLESS... REPEAT MEANINGLESS.

NDSU charters flights to Springfield Missouri and Youngstown Ohio. dam near the same distance as Fort Collins or UNLV or Wyoming or Boise.

and for the Non Football sports, they fly commercial Far to Den Wed play thurs and sat then fly back. big deal.

Hoping for stars to align is not a plan. Same ol' back-footed, "see how things shake out" approach to FBS as always. What we've always needed, and have always lacked, is a will to go to FBS come hell or high water because we belong there. And have a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C to get there. And then go after each plan one by one until we are in FBS. This has never been our mentality.
