The only MVFC team that seems to have any kind of FBS aspirations is MSU. Most of them want to just focus on basketball it seems like.

The "attendance requirement" that the Transformation Committee has already strongly hinted is going away? That attendance requirement? OK.

According to Ross Uglem on the Bison Report Show about an hour ago, Cook wants NDSU to go FBS

As for this WAC/ASUN nonsense, it's just little people yelling loudly because they see the future. FBS will never allow this to happen. You can book that …

NDSU & Cook better get NDSU into the fuckin Mountain West or AAC ASAP. no more excuses. broker a deal, give up some concessions, heck, let us keep our local media rights, we will agree to play 2 neutral games a year in Minneapolis and Denver or Dallas or Arizona or Vegas

lets goooooooooooooooo

I'm sure the school, team, and fans will be thrilled to have 3-4 home games per year in that scenario.

That Dallas game in October featuring a 4-3 North Dakota State team with 6K fans will be very big time!

Now this is what I would call a moonshot. If any of this WAC nonsense had a snowballs-chance-in-hell of happening, you wouldn’t hear anything about it until it was a done deal. The fact that they are chirping about it now tells me it’s extremely unlikely. I don’t blame them, though. They are all FB heavy programs looking at being stuck forever in FCS with BB and hockey schools, and I’m sure they are not happy about it

Here’s the cold hard truth kids. There is only one school in FCS right now with the ability, desire, and infrastructure to go FBS, and that’s the NDSU Bison.

Travel for football isn't the problem with an FBS conference outside of maybe the MAC, would be no need for neutral site games. They wouldn't even be a selling point, the travel issue is when you involve non-revenue sports.

All you need is one donor to buy a ton of tickets and then give them away with a combo meal at Taco John's or with an appetizer at Applebee's even if they never get used.

Thank You for the common sense thinking Indy. Beats the constant screaming at ML, Admin, etc...

How many of the named schools meet the attendance requirement?
How many of the schools currently moving up meet the attendance requirement?
