A new and better FBS thread

North Dakota now has the ability to unlock the $8.4 billion Legacy Fund to invest in projects that will grow and diversify the state’s economy, which is perennially reliant on agriculture and energy.

ahem. NDSU FOOTBALL STADIUM could use some of this money

Diversifying the state's economy by.... building a football stadium? Lol wut

You know, for future Ag Shows.

June 1 to July 1 is when most conferences changes happen. welllll. we're waiting!!!

ya. i'm sure matt's excuse will be "well we were busy with the baseball team in the ncaa's"

I'd like NDSU to get to MWC before pud NMSU https://www.abqjournal.com/236926/nm...embership.html

why doesn't NDSU use the local media to push this narrative like Las Cruces "NDSU would prefer MWC membership!"

Every conversation I've had with those in the athletic department has indicated they aren't really interested in anything that would send them west. If all your road games are in the opposite direction of your primary recruiting footprint, recruiting becomes much different. UND had a similar issue in the Big Sky. That's not to say they wouldn't do it, but there was definitely more interest in going the other direction.

The alumni association felt the same way. While there is a decent alumni base in Seattle, Denver, and Phoenix, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois is collectively a larger group.

I think NDSU could be successful with a move west into FBS but there are a lot of factors to consider beyond just being in an FBS conference.

Agreed and that may force a move to the MWC if that is their only option. But I think they would much more prefer a conference that keeps them in the Midwest more often.

#1 no one gives a shit what happened to und
#2 MAC is shit, CUSA isnt plausible & big 12 wont
Mountain West is for the Best , only 4-5 away games a year wont hurt anything
