Why would a conference take into account the quality of the football team - at a single point in time - when deciding to extend an invite?
Also please explain why an FBS conference should take us right now....I don't see how we as a university are really all that appealing to the MAC or Mountain West, even if they are considering expanding.
Re: NDSU American Athletic Conference?
Why do people think level of play corresponds to conference invite? I mean seriously why are people still posting about that?
It is a business. No conference commissioner has worked their whole life to get where they are, just to invite a school based on “golly gee wouldn’t it be fun to play the Bison?”. Conference commissioners and the schools they serve are only about getting a return on investment.
These are the same type of posters who thought Bohl and Klieman wore NDSU nut huggers to bed and would never leave because they loved the school so much. College athletics, and especially big boy athletics are a business. End of story.

NDSU would give a shot in the arm to MWC and MAC on Day 1. we actually fill our stadium and would give some exposure to them.
A Football only Program that is successful,
A Land Grant School.
A University that would actually CHERISH being there instead of Akron or San Jose State. which neither fanbases even exist

The elephant in the room is that NDSU fans won't be traveling for those worthless bowl games.

We currently fill the stadium. Doesn't mean we will. Reality is 3+ losses will occur more than 0 or 1 and come late October and November games, the GAF level for the fanbase and games that don't mean shit will go away for hundreds of different reasons.

Re: A new and better FBS thread

Wouldn’t you be the same as them for missing/leaving early from games because the opponent is beneath your attention?

NDSU is in the 3rd Tier. I was told over and over again by Gene Taylor Dean and Stony Brook AD in the media that "NDSU will always want to remain in the 2nd division of football"
You can be adamantly pro FCS (and honestly my favorite option is for the FCS to raise their talent and prestige and STAY instead of jumping), but You are freaking delusional if you think we are in the 2nd tier. The G5 has no shot at the "national title" which means they are inherently at a different. And we are inherently at a different level than the G5.
If you cant agree to this basic fact, than you dont belong in the conversation- at all. You either have to prove that the G5 and the P5 are exactly the same (which is hilarious since they are so vastly different that they have different names, lol), or prove that the FCS is exactly the same as G5.
We aint 2nd tier guys. Talent wise, we are arguably tier 1. but we are tier 3. Tier 3 isnt necessarily bad- but we are certainly in the 3rd tier.[/QUOTE]
Just because we’ve won a few games against fbs schools doesn’t make us tier 1. That’s just as delusional thinking.
