A new and better FBS thread

Anyone that thinks NDSU will be in the big 10 in the next 30 years shouldn't even be considered sane

Is the MW responsible for facilitating NDSU's ambition..? The MW didn't take on Boise until 2011 after they had been FBS for 15 years. This is not a desperate or unstable conference.. They can afford to be choosy and can ride out any defections..

You have a an excellent football program but almost zero history with any of the schools in the MW..They have all been playing each other for decades..That means something..

well the other problem is MWC won't invite NDSU because NDSU would be the top dog day 1 and your members/coaches/presidents won't like that.

sad but true I guess , but it's the same reason NDSU can't get FBS games anymore. SoftGeneration ... sigh.

That is where you are wrong..The MW has a history of adding schools who have the potential to be the top dog right away..Boise and TCU were the top mid majors in the country and better than all the MW teams in football.

While I, personally don't think you would be the top dog there are other factors at play here. If the MW wanted you they would have invited you already..If it makes you feel better to think there is some sort of fear or conspiracy set against you have at it.

well Let's get it on!

thanks for the back & forth. have a great weekend

You too..I have nothing against NDSU and moving up to FBS..My alma mater moved up from the Big Sky. I am not sure the MW is going to be your landing spot but anything can happen..

That article says right out that NDSU would just look at it as a temporary fix until the Big 10 comes a-calling..

Are you asking football only? Are you demanding travel subs..or no travel subs?

Are you asking the MW to waive the entrance fee? are you asking for a separate tv deal with ESPN?

I would guess you wouldn't make any demands but that article makes it sound like the MW would be delighted to have you come onboard..

Maybe it will happen, but what exactly is in it for the MW ? Particularly if all you would be doing is looking to leave..

Duh.... SEC or bust.

I say skip the FBS and push for the USFL. That shit looked bad on Saturday!!! USFL OR BUST BITCHES!!!

Suppose just for yucks that the "top 45" of the P5 split off into a premier D1 conference with their own playoff.

Going off Sagarin – and assuming that Boise, NDSU and Airforce don’t make the cut – what would become of the G5 plus the P5 dregs (and there are several from multiple P5s that wouldn’t make the cut, not just the Big12).

They’d likely follow suite and say, "OK, we’re going to make our own FBS league out of the next 65 teams, with our own playoff and bowl games". This would then be the clear "second level" of D1 CFB. The only FCS teams remotely in contention would be NDSU, SDSU, both Montana’s, Mo State and maybe SIU, and this assumes that a decent chunk of the G5 accepts relegation to the third tier (FCS), which is highly doubtful (sorry, but EWU is not next-level material).

So, in other words, move up now or later, it doesn’t really matter for NDSU, and it does nothing to change the extremely improbable "promotion" of the entire MVFC to what would become the second level of D1 CFB.

Even in this radically realigned CFB landscape, NDSU is still the only FCS team in position to move up. Food for thought ...
