me and 10,000-20,000 NDSU fans would want FBS over fcs and the boredom it has become.
look at all the tickets trying to be sold in the secondary market.
there is a HUGE segment of FARGO people and REGIONAL people that have completely given up on NDSU football. WE NEED THOSE BANDWAGON TYPES>
We need to keep the HYPE going. but you can't HYPE up any NDSU games anymore, sorry that's reality.
the SPARK that is needed for a 151-12 team is a MOVE UP TO FBS> period. end of story, else we are just gonna die a slow death.
250,000 population within 15 miles of Fargo now, there should be a SOLID 150,000 NDSU FANBASE or MORE

I would like to see the ESPN+ stats for new subscribers that noted “Ndsu bison” 7 years ago or whatever when they first got that deal.
Was still new enough that it asked me “why are you signing up for ESPN+ back then.
And that’s what I put down.

I don't give a single damn about a regional partner, SDSU has no football ambition at all and UND is a hockey school. They want to be small time which is fine, our athletic vision is not going to allign with them. It is time to accept and embrace that reality, there is no point in waiting for them.

I think that's the debate, what is realistic and worthwhile.
Almost everyone would be on board with MWC, and there's a real chance PAC takes a couple of those schools later this year.
I'm fine with AAC, SBC, MAC also, though think MAC would feel like a lateral move, and might not create the same excitement or fan base growth.

There’s not a single conference we move to that’ll bring regular season atmospheres like SDSU. Book it.

250k and a huge portion cant stand NDSU or it’s fanbase.
You have witnessed the glory days of NDSU football.
20 year season ticket holder. Still love the bison but even if they were B12 it’s getting more and more difficult to not sit in a garage drinking beer with zero travel, etc. can barely give my tickets away anymore so you’re right about that.
Whoops.
