Like...you mean the entire history of the NCAAs? Yeah we're the dumb one's taper.

Even though we are for FBS...just the right fit.

But we are "hoople." Funny which side the derogatory bullshit comes from isn't it.

It's funny how you and your twin reply right on cue. Thanks for proving my point that some things never change.

Yet you’re still here with zero takes that make sense. Makes everyone mad and sad to bring up geography.

Nope, I really don't think the conferences will change that view on all sports membership, but would love to be proven wrong. Some of them (AAC and CUSA) like to brag about their basketball and care about that also. MAC to a lesser degree. And I think even the football centric SBC will be hesitant to add someone who only brings competition for that CFP bid. This might make a move anywhere harder, but especially if they aren't backfilling a vacancy.

The thing to remember here is you are also asking a conference like CUSA to split their CFP payout (all conferences get a slice) more ways, thus asking them to take a paycut on one of their few revenue sources. Probably less significant with a conference that has a good media deal.

It is interesting that while endorsing staying with the NCAA, they pointed to not breaking the other sports away from FB. But $$ talks. We'll see. They have a bit left to sort out yet ...

To you anyone who wants to move up makes zero sense.

If the MWC or MAC offers, I don't give a single damn if we have travel partner but the FCS forever crew will be clinging to the ambitionless SDSU if that happens.

this is fucking ridiculous

in 2024 the CFP WILL TAKE A G5

NDSU NEEDS TO BE IN A G5 IN 2 YEARS.

OR FIRE MATT LARSON/DAVID COOK ON THE SPOT

Actually clinging to the "if the MWC or MAC offers" because as of right now, they literally have zero reason too.

2024. That's CUSA then. And there's not a CUSA team that'll be near that playoff spot. Which - if that's what NDSU needs to do - so be it.

What's going down with all the other NDSU sports when that happens. I guess I don't care, just curious.
