Could be wrong, but if I had to guess I'd say probably the same odds as winning two or three FCS championships back to back... What were the odds we were going to win 8 of 9 FCS championships when we moved up from D2 in 2004?
The recruits we bring in now are already end up competing at the level of the good G5 schools. Hence why none of them will play us anymore?

Do you think NDSU could have beaten Coastal Carolina or Kansas State last year/ with the spring team? Honestly they haven’t proven they could beat them this year. I’m worried about the SDSU game this year as we might get embarrassed…..

I know you're just trolling but I'll bite anyways. You're correct, we will never be better than the worst team we've had in 12 years. Let's fold up shop.
How could we ever have won 8 of 9 FCS championships after we went 2-8 in 2002. I mean our only wins were against Winona and Mankato State.

No I’m saying we either stay at FCS and remain an elite team. It’s easier to remain elite at the FCS than the G5
Or
Move up to the G5 and have a top team 3- maybe 5 years out of every decade. Are those 5 years of ordinary going to affect us?
Re: A new and better FBS thread
And I’m not trolling just trying to be realistic, who knew we would be able to build the championship dynasty to where we are now. I don’t think it’s realistic that we will run the table at the G5 every year and then become a P5 team. Anything can happen but will it? Boise State didn’t even get a P5 invite after that last shuffle so our chances are even more slim in the future.

No, they're going to make the top years even more special. Why don't we just move down to D2? We could win every championship every year no problem. Then we could really call ourselves the best team in the country.
If you're being serious I'll ask: do you really believe that FCS is the right level for NDSU? Program success, fan support, media rights, facilities, athletic budget, enrollment, endowment, academic profile, etc. Do we fit in here?

No I don't think FCS is the right level but i don’t expect moving up to be an instant success like we were at FCS. I’m probably fine either way. We will be a good team in theG5 but expecting to be a P5 one day is crazy imho.
Montana, UNI, SDSU, etc all belong in the G5.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
I do believe we will be an instate success. Winning record and competing at the highest level. We’ll take some dings but god damn it, we’ll give some as well.

yes, we absolutely could and already do out recruit G5/P5 teams regularly if you did an ounce of research you would see that, and also doing it as a fucking FCS team, finish the IPF and add a B instead of the C it totally changes things. Multiple times kids with F"B"S offer's that committe3d to F"C"S NDSU said that NDSU'S facilities are better or equal to many.
Try again

I tell ndsu every time they call.. go FBS & ill give $2500/ year and I could get 100 people to do that at the drop of a hat if NDSU admin gets us into Mountain West or American conf
NDSU vs USC in LA Bowl Dec 31 would trump 8 fcs titles it'd be amazing
playing big non conference games not Valpo/Albany
Recruiting would be so much better, we'd grab top 4 guys from each regional teams, use them as our freakin farm system.
"oh sdsu has a great linebacker?... psst come to FBS NDSU year"
boom done
