You are making an assumption with no evidence.Quote:

and you have QB Aiden Bouman coming. son of Todd Bouman MN HS legend from Buffalo
Uconn back to Big East.

UConn is not shutting down football and is going to have to leave lock, stock an barrel.Quote:

just search twitter. there is some ndsu buzz.
It's not happening periodQuote:

So with UConn leaving, some of the latest rumors floating around is that to get BYU to the American, the AAC might have to grab a couple front range schools to bring with them. If that happens, it could be the opening we need to make the move to the MWC with Montana. I know some here hate FBS, but let's face it. As awesome as Frisco has been and winning championships never gets old, most of our peers have moved onto FBS. It's like the early 90's in D2 all over again.
I don't know anyone that hates FBS. It is a disagreement over the feasibility of making the move. I won't rehash all of the arguments as everyone is familiar with them ad nauseam. I am assuming the AD and President are aware of them as well.Quote:

keith brake with a ndsu fbs article that was alot of hot air. this guy should be able to quote a ndsu admin or at least interview 1 or 2. Not 1 journalist has put the ndsu admin feet to the fire with legit probing questions about FBS.
I just feel like we are wasting some amazing years and financially viable years...
I actually thought it was pretty good is night as to why it makes no sense for NDSU to move up now or really anytime soon unless alignments change. But that's most likely why you didn't like it.

As long as there are 2 D1 FB teams in ND, NDSU moving up is not an option, so make the best/most of it. I would say we’re doing an excellent job in that regard.
Heres a quoteQuote:

Meh... "Near future" sounds like political wordsmithing. That's a totally non committal answer.Quote:

from Wisc HS rivals page:
"CMU also fulfills my dream of playing tight end at the highest possible level, the FBS"
sorry, but a large percentage of HS kids will take FBS over fcs 95% of the time.
60% of the time high school recruits will take the FBS offer every time....Quote:

Maybe its a non issue for the university at this time. Where does the money come from? Where does the conference come from?Quote:

Conference. Where are you going to play? Although the power conference(s) have seemed to calm down, there still exists the opportunity that more change is in the future. Which if NDSU were in the FBS and the new guy, they could be left out.
Maybe current spot is working. Look at the attention the school gets whether from the FCS football, making the big dance in basketball, softball and track and field success. Maybe that means the needs of the university as they try to grow other programs in addition to the football program.
Sometimes its okay to be the big fish in the pond you are.
