Step 1: apply for waiver to go independent in FBS football (receive waiver or sue); remain in Summit for other sports
Step 2: schedule all the other independents looking for opponents (they amount to practically a conference already)
Step 3: build FBS resume kicking everyone's ass
Step 4: tell MWC to pound sand when they finally invite; accept B12 invite instead
Re: Full impact of COA becoming apparent?
We were great before FCOA but it certainly doesnt hurt the cause. We probably pick up a handful of players because of it.
Re: Full impact of COA becoming apparent?
We have so many advantages. Tradition and winning,
national exposure, NFL QBs , a system that has remained in tact for 15 years, a unique style, a great home field, elite facilities, great atmosphere, more practice time with extended playoff runs, etc. The Indoor Practice Facility will be one of the final pieces
Re: Full impact of COA becoming apparent?
COA is a tool. One of many in our toolbox, and we use them all. Of course COA helps but it's not a cure all, and was never meant to be.

^ this----------fbs independent is the way to go...i went and watched thee ohio state buckeyes dismantle nebraska a few weeks ago and didnt feel like the pre-game or in-game atmosphere was in any way superior to fargo...i hadnt been to a "big-time" college football game since bohl and co really got the fargodome rocking so i was a bit shocked by this...add to that if we were able to expand the dome by even 10-15k wow and what if we could go the 1660 route and take the TV rights wouldnt that be big time bucks?

I agree. If COA was the sole reason, NDSU would be more dominant in their other sports too.

You need to admit yourself into a recovery facility. Your opioid addiction can kill you. If that isn’t your problem, then explain why the Big 12 would invite an institution that does nothing to increase the revenue of their media network. Closed circuit to PB, they f’ing won’t.

Bingo
The Big 10 certainly didnt add Maryland and Rutgers because of the quality of their football teams.

STFU! It is what it is until it isn’t!

Notre Dame would be the only team worth playing among the FBS independents. And they wouldn’t schedule us. They don’t need to. They can take their pick from their traditional rivals, plus their guaranteed 5 ACC games per year. They already play USC and Stanford every year, they did a H&H with Georgia, they play Michigan and Michigan State often, they had a Texas H&H.
They don’t need us. Now you’re left playing UMass, Liberty, not exactly a step up in competition. Then to fill out the schedule we’d end up paying MVSU again to come take a beating, but it would cost even more.
