Pete Thamel’s world view: P5 = D1, G5 = D2, FCS = D3

Even defends KU FB and attributes FCS upsets to just a fluke from playing in the spring

This is what NDSU is up against

Let's give the whole FBS thing a rest and focus on controlling what NDSU can control

Mountain West issued a statement of nonsense... but the comments are gold. alot of NDSU suggestions and NDSU/Montana

NDSU/UNI
Montana/Montana St

BIG 12 adds 4 (NOT NDSU)

AAC has tons of options, Coastal, Appy, Georgia Southern ect, hell they can take anyone from the Sun Belt or even C-USA I believe.

Its moving west that options become slim

I don't think AAC is attractive to the MWC schools now. Unfortunately, the two most likely conferences for us have always been the MWC and the MAC, and neither conference has been touched by the realignment. I'm just hoping that conferences decide to expand anyway and maybe we can get picked up for football only. I think if we ever want a major conference like the Big 12 to give us a look, we need to already be in FBS and kicking a$$. So for me, any FBS conference for football only will do. I mean ANY.

As much as I don't want to see the terrible teams in the MAC year in and year out I think this is where I'm at as well. It would seem to reason that any solid conference is going to want a school to prove it at the FBS first.

I also think the MAC is a joke and we would crush everyone(not necessarily undefeated every year) the moment we joined.

You ready for those Tuesday & Thursday night games with no one in attendance?

If they are home games, I'll be in attendance. If it as NIU, I might be in attendance. If it is anywhere else, I'll be watching on tv, as will the entire country since that's the only football on that evening.

Is there still a D2 glory day nuthugger fanbase that wants NDSU to stay in D2 FCS? I can't imagine those kind exist anymore.

so JMU just came out with an announcement hinting that they would WELCOME an INVITE

NDSU needs to do this ASAP
