I’ll also posit this: Until and if the MBB program starts showing some real grit, toughness and determination, it will never get seriously strong monetary support. The program must start emulating the very people it seeks support from. It’s not there.
That starts with a good coaching hire and not settling for average. That’s on the AD.

I don’t disagree. Not sure the AD would disagree either, in private at least.

Totally agree, since DR took over I lost my interest in BBall. And the fact my knees are smashed into the back of the person in front of me at the SHAC

If we stay FCS, new football revenue streams remain very limited. In that instance almost all new revenue opportunities are on the BB side. You and CAS are correct that the key to those BB revenue sources is reliant on the programs on court success. It will never grow without that.
I should have been more clear. If you keep hashing over the same talking points then its nothing more than speculative noise. Just like when lakes posts. Same shit just a different day. No matter how you reframe your points its still the same noise.

I has season tickets for 2 years. I refused to drive 3 hours for the most uncomfortable seating experience just to watch sub par coaching and players be forced to do the weave.

Haven't ran the weave for years.

Maybe or maybe when everyone becomes apathetic you get the men’s BB program. I’ll continue to hash over the same points until meaningful change occurs. The beauty is that both our opinions are equally valid.

We'd lose kids and recruits in FBS too. Everybody does.
The excitement/attendance is a fair point. I don't really care about the notoriety. That wears off no matter what unless you are a football factory which NDSU never has and never will be.

Guess which schools/conferences are in the running for the NY6 access slot this year (soon to be CFP)?
AAC/MWC/SBC. So, if this is all about CFP bids, landing in one of those 3 is an absolute requirement.
