you got it backwards. NDSU is athletically very FCS other than football.

Yep. I remember people screaming-crying about not being able to to buy tickets. Then they opened up a new section and had problems selling those tickets because of the cost. Plus you have others who were forced to donate so they could get tickets.

About the extra conference money, it goes surprisingly fast. Entz makes around $400k. Bohl at Wyoming is $1.6M. Other coaches, assistants, AD, Pres, etc pretty much all earn significantly more. That $4M extra revenue is gone towards salaries before you know it. I think it's irresponsible to talk about revenue without looking at the extra costs.

Thanks Captain Obvious. I forgot what a budget is. Part of the needing to have more money to compete with those schools is the additional pay for coaches. That's what we're talking about here.

Unless you're trying to tell me that coaches', assistants' and the athletic director's salaries aren't included in the athletic department budgets...

Just get a special rule. Why do they deserve a geographic pass and we don’t?

Isn’t geography always like issue #2 after money?

Hell. We love more games. Let’s bank it.

Part of the reason not to move is less games.

We built a tits dome to play home games in November december when FBs “can’t”…

But they sure seem to have some marquee games that are being played.

Offer some Friday night FBS December games.

We can still play “if you wanna play in texas” at that one.

For TRADITION.

Like Cameron Indoor level FBS games.

HOT TICKET BROSKIS

Let them THINK NDSU would be “too beat up” for the playoffs.
