Re: A new and better FBS thread
Yeah that’s true for the most part. A vast majority of our recruits come from MN, ND, SD. A few from KS and NE. The Florida kids are far from home anyway so idk about the recruiting. WI would probably still contribute as usual. Illinois and Missouri would be a little further.

Indeed. Hence the Colin Cowherd "Fake ID of College Football" line a few years ago. It infuriated Iowa fans, but it was true.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
Another reason to leave FCS??
Central Connecticut State & Sacramento State are Ranked in the Top 25 today.
Bahaha. NDSU could cut thier team in half & beat those 2

Those are two very different programs in terms of ceiling. If Sac St beats Montana this Saturday they might prove to be the best FCS team in the country not named NDSU right now. NDSU would need to be on point to beat them.... they gave now #17 Arizona St a good game in week 1. Of course maybe their win over Montana St was fool's gold and they'll be exposed by the Griz this Saturday. We'll see.

That’s JMU angle and it doesn’t work for them either.

Ole Miss
UTEP
Also in 2020 they have the following:
UCLA
UAB
Akron
New Mexico
UTEP
Texas State
Hawaii
Fresno State
Lousiana
UMass
Texas Souther
Florida
I'd say that they are DEFINITELY winning the battle of best schedule over NDSU (even if you could two liberty games in one year)

Re: A new and better FBS thread
UCONN is going indy next year I think, it will be interesting to see how that works for them long term. Their schedule next year sounds like it could be a disaster. At least Liberty and New Mexico State might not have to play each other twice a season going forward.

How many FBS football programs do not have an International airport in their hometown?

And their record is what? They dont have the expendable resources to keep facilities up to date and recruit nationally. They are scheduling blood bath games to stay afloat
If your happy with NDSU going indy and taking ass kicking just to say they play SEC teams then fine, but I know I'm not
Bottom line, no conference invite no FBS for NDSU

Liberty has plenty of money. I think the kind of money that a lot of folks here would drown a litter of puppies for NDSU to have

We don't need to draw 25,000 every time. We just need to sell 25k tickets every time. We have the season ticket base and waiting list to sell 18k-20k season tickets now. Maybe more, who knows. The average fans have long since given up trying to get them.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
Here's good news for the FBS at all costs crew:

(I don't believe Fargo residents will support a Fargodome enlargement/replacement until the diversion and supplemental water source are both well under construction and mostly paid off.)

What is the consensus of the fan-bases that recently moved up to FBS? Are the App State, GSU, Coastal Carolina fans happy with the move?

I don't think they take the game as serious as they use to since there isn't really anything left for them to play for. Case in point........

Re: A new and better FBS thread
Ill keep the FBS thread going here as not to "infect" the board.
Kansas State is ranked #20 and Wyoming has votes. NDSU could easily be in top 25 this year!

Re: A new and better FBS thread
After watching that Gophers win and now K State and Wyoming tonight.... then sitting at this 20-0 1Q ndsu/Wiu game just irritates the hell outta me... cmon man. that should be NDSU!!!!

App State and Boise made the move to the FBS while they were national powers in FCS. Coincidence?

THANK YOU.
Lets look at the AP TOP 25 this year.:
Gophers - SDSU almost beat them, NDSU could beat them, maybe its 50/50 now.
Kansas State - basically NDSU's system, no doubt NDSU could beat them again.
Boise State - Wyoming almost beat them, NDSU easily plays with Boise this year
Appy St = Basically NDSU's peer. We beat them, their offense isnt good.
Ind-freakin-Ana ?? hahaha La Tech?

Yeah...only a 2 hour flight to the closest game. Give it up...not going FBS in its current state. Larsen has said this too.

Re: NDSU American Athletic Conference?
IF the AAC comes knocking, I'd say yes, absolutely make that jump. I don't think many would argue against it as a football only conference. And that is a HUGE IF
