yup, those hoopl-ites just think Frisco is the greatest athletic event ever dontcha know.

it was like Norske-Fest South.

Always a good plan to shred the deep pockets fans who have been going to games since the 60-70s.

If Fargo was on that map we would already be FBS, maybe even AAC!

Why would anyone throw in the towel on NDSU to FBS at this point? The NCAA hasn’t even finalized the criteria for qualifying. Nothing will happen until 2023 at the earliest

Lots of BS in this thread …

We've been hearing this sort of messaging for the last 6-7 years. It is what it is.

Well, there have been a few of us who have been saying for a handful of years now that we should be trying to start things in motion (essentially where it appears we are now). Now we're frustrated because it appears we are late to the game and probably a dollar short.

It started hitting the fan during COVID when people saw that half the schools were fine with not even playing a season. Another half were fine just canceling games all willy-nilly. It showed a lot of people that weren't super into the workings of FCS that there's a lot of schools at this level that just really don't care.

The cherry on top for what I would guess is everyone else is when JMU and SHSU bailed. Even those here trying to play contrarian about going FBS admit that it should and is going to happen someday.

Every season I hear more and more stories of "why would I donate? why would i renew my season tickets? why would i drive to fargo for that game? etc." so yes, I honestly do think we need it sooner than later. It's too bad it's taken this long
