Per the BIG, there are no make up dates in the conference schedule and all cancelations are declared a ‘no contest’.

Sports aside it would be the best thing for the university.
correct. people keep getting upset for being pushy. its because I know we need to 1st get the foot in the door, 2nd succeed at a place like MWC for 5-10 years then spring board into the big 12
if pud Manhattan and Ames can have a 55,000 stadium, NDSU & Fargo surely can

How many people are within an hour of the respective cities you talk about?
Ames- 1mm with Des Moines
KC - 2 or 3 Million from Manhatten.

Reason #2397423947 to go FBS Klieman says what everyone knows: NDSU doesnt belong here

Here, it’s much more competitive offensively and defensively. You may not have an advantage on some of those things, so you better find a way to have an advantage on a week in week out basis. So we collectively as a staff are going to put a lot more time into special teams than we think a lot of people are, because it has to be the edge.
“My previous place, we were favored by four and five touchdowns every time we played so you didn’t need to be as dominant on special teams.
