I guess you have to know what the SEC endgame is. The way I read it, they just wanted OU and UT and the rest is a reaction circus. But who knows what the truth is.

Doesn’t sound to me like the "alliance" is really much of anything beyond serving notice to the SEC that "hey, we’re upset, and we might do something, although we don’t really know what that is".

The Big 12 will do everything they can to stay together, so I still see 5 Power Conferences plus the G5 splitting off. Call me naïve I guess. The P5 loves their non-conference cupcake games too much to completely spill the apple cart and break away from the rest of FBS.

I guess we’ll see though. NDSU should just focus on what they can control and keep climbing. If the P5 ever does split away, I’d rather NDSU experience that from a G5 perspective than an FCS perspective, and I doubt it happens in the next 5-10 years.

If the Bison are to go FBS, they will need great leadership from their players during the transition. This year’s leaders would include the Team Captains. It’s interesting to see who these Bison players are now - and where they started……

Missed on UCF but otherwise got it right. American backfills from MWC, etc. etc., but what happened last night makes FCS look bad. Time to start lobbying hard ML, and I mean hard. It's on you now. Might not happen, but this is the moment.

FCS IS bad. That's why our best chance to move was when we were objectively as good as FBS teams, i.e. when we were beating them. Not making a public push for FBS after Iowa (when the whole college football commentary world was saying we belong in FBS) is still, in my mind, malpractice by the athletics dept of the highest order.

I'm guessing they mean the fact that Jacksonville (not a) State got BTFO by UAB

Right on. "Boat raced" isn't strong enough. Granted, JSU isn't the face of FCS, but if you were an FBS fan just tuning in, it was not pretty ...

But I don't want to draw bruins ire here. You don't want to poke a bear, especially a grizzly ... but I don't see B12 raiding AAC/BYU as a show stopper. There's alot that could happen

Jacksonville State isn't the face of FCS. It isn't even a state!

State of ND budget $400million in excess.

let's grab 1/4 for NDSU new stadium or 1/3... cmon!!!

if NDSU listened to me in 2013

we'd be enjoying an opening day outside in this beautiful sunshine in a 35k-40k stadiun
