Might as well get 4 years out of them instead of 3.

seeing what a joke it is.
Josh going to play SEC or BIG12 and NDSU sitting here doing nothing, thanks Dean & Matt Larson
I don't follow the logic here Sam.
Even if we move up, we're not going to be in a P5 conference. If the player is good enough to play SEC/Big12/B1G/etc.. they will still transfer out.
I understand and support the idea of NDSU moving up, but it won't prevent these type of situations.

At this point we owe it to the Seniors and everyone else vested with Bison football to see the season through. I would 100% support calling off the playoffs though, they are completely pointless.
Playing exhibition games in an empty stadium was probably not a viable path forward and that is what would have happened come the fall surge. Fall football was really something that only works with a money game or two bankrolling it.
Should have just did what Montana did, now we are going to hurt ourselves come the real season in the fall.

Good remarks here from Entz on the situation: https://twitter.com/BisonReport/stat...36188456525825
Cliffnotes version: Josh noticed other players from the conference who had already opted out getting high level FBS offers in the transfer portal and he felt he's better than those players. He has a 2 year old daughter in Florida that he hasn't been able to see much living up here so he's looking to transfer somewhere closer to her.

That makes a lot of sense. Best of luck to Josh and his young family.

And I was happy to read, on Dom’s version, that he will graduate.
Still wish he would not leave mid-season, but can understand it is his recruiting season as a transfer portal player.

Pretty thorough answer from Matt Entz on Josh Hayes’s departure:
- Seeing Jabril Cox leave for a FBS and improve his draft stock
- Will graduate in May, a large role on three national title teams
- Josh became a dad in fall of 2019, opportunity to get closer to his daughter in FL

Nope, but the program would be in a much healthier situation had we gotten in 6 games and stuck to our usual off season schedule.

No idea how accurate that percentage of players who find a new home is but that seems like a shockingly low number that do.
