A new and better FBS thread

Isn't solicitation normally a crime? Asking for a friend.

Again I will ask---why do you think we will be invited when we havent been invited in the past. Again this has nothing to do with solicitation.

So is the logic that because we haven’t been invited in the past, we won’t be invited in the present or the future?

I’ve been told that the facility upgrades are us trying to improve our chances to be invited. That coupled with realignment in college football would possibly change the criteria and make previous due diligence somewhat obsolete?

It would seem to me that NDSU would be very aggressive in sharing those improvements in order to maximize the return on the investments. No?

We are. Positioning is happening. False leads/narratives are a negative to that effort.

Great! It would seem to me that “false narratives” would be less frequent if the NDSU leadership shared their vision for the future.

And outright spilled the beans? That could result in there primarily goal being undermined, with nothing left at the end, including possible outs if main focus doesn’t pan out.

Nope it would juat add to more speculation and false narratives. You see it here all the time when on rare occasion someone will actually post something factual. The post is scrutinized, questioned, scoffed at and before its all said and done you have more false narratives than you had before.

Just like your reply to cas, He posted some well meaning inside information but it just wasnt good enough for you. I understand though, its a disease and you just cant help yourself.

The fact you don't realize the president, AD, and conference commissioner group is a small group that knows each other well and see each other at meetings and events on a regular basis shows how much you really don't understand how this all works. I can guarantee Dean and Matt have had several conversations over the years. They may not have had serious conversations yet because the opportunity hasn't been there, but they've at least talked in hypotheticals. I've been a part of enough of these conversations while volunteering at NCAA events. The Final Four is a huge hangout of these people.

Bingo. Everyone knows who everyone else is. Hell even Bohl and GT talked about all the conversations and a lot of business got done at those get togethers.
