I think he should ... :paperbag:

Our Lady of South Bend is putting the screws to NBC, 75 million screws.

That tells me the B1G threw them a number that would have them strongly consider giving up their beloved independent status.

NDSU is ALREADY LOSING ITS FANBASE & MONEY BY STAYING FCS
can't you people see that? hello hello. us FBS fans have been telling you this for 5 years now that it's coming.

the AD has ZERO motivation to try he's just happy to be here, he and phelps were at fucking pud Stony Brook 7 Years ago, Dean fell in love & wanted to retire, good for him.

HOWEVER HERE WE ARE. I am literally the only one pushing this 5 years ago and the last few years others have joined and seen the light.

make a backroom deal with MWC and get it done or PLAN for a new 45,000 stadium & pitch the big 12

I disagree that geography plays no role whatsoever, but I agree it isn't the only reason. Just not a large enough population base to be enticing.

The geography might explain the lack of population hehe

I'm curious what you think my answer would be. FCS and FBS have different NCAA rules. A football only conference is viable in FCS but not in FBS. A bunch of D2 to D1 transition teams is completely different than our current situation. NDSU didn't join the GW, we founded it WITH A REGIONAL PARTNER in SDSU and a known rival in Northern Colorado. In the end all the founding members got Summit/MVFC or Big Sky invites, but in an alternate universe the Great West could easily have become the D1 NCC v2. Whether that's better than what we have now is worth its own thread.

Looks like that may be more than 3x the current deal.

Also it’s amusing to me that CBS is just like “heads up Big XII, NBC wants to take some of the money they should be paying you for your content and resulting synergies and ship it to Norte Dame instead.”

We'd be VERY lucky if Bill G kicked in a million or so.
He only bought 2k acres, has around 270k acres total elsewhere. Donated 100k to Doug B.
Now if NDSU were located in Seattle ...
