A new and better FBS thread

I'm curious what FBS and FCS teams play regularly, let alone continue to play for a rivalry trophy. Maybe they exist but I'd be curious how "they make it work".

For the record, I'd love nothing more than for NDSU to take a full invite to C-USA.

I do get amusement from the people think something beyond that is available or realistic right now, let alone that somehow it's "deserved" when that isn't even a thing.

But the Dakota Marker rivalry would survive NDSU going FBS, whatever SDSU does. You can be sure of that

I wouldn't mind seeing NDSU move to the FBS. I'm just not confident it will happen with conferences trying to limit their geographic footprints. I'll still keep going to a few games per year if we remain in the FCS and don't bother writing over and over about what I want to happen.

Doesn't UNI play Iowa and Iowa State in alternate years? I doubt there is any kind of trophy involved.

They play for the "garage door" and "piss stained field" trophies that go to the loser of the game. Both trophies are permanently on display in the UNI dome.

Mandated by state legislature. Even worse in Virginia where they require them to play on the road against lesser schools.

The UND game sold out first, but who knows if they will even be able to put up a fight this year. Every UND game in the dome has been a dud boring game. I would be more pumped for UND if they actually made it a challenge…..

NDSU won't get an invite to MAC
CUSA/SUN BELT isn't thr most appealing
AAC would work, Tulsa the closest team?

Mountain West is still for the Best, we should all be rooting for PAC 12 to hurry up and snatch SDSU & hope we can backfill in

Stuck in reality is what it is.

Found this online looking for NDSU to FBS clues...


"Pros: NDSU has something of a brand, thanks to its utter domination of FCS football. If the Bison want to take the leap to FBS, the MWC is the logical conference affiliation."


New Mountain West Commissioner to be named by end of the year. Do Any of these guys help out NDSU? Maybe Wyoming's AD & Craig Bohl help us
