With that in mind, I would suggest that no news on the subject means nothing either way.
Well, there is no way NDSU AD can be completely silent. That would include major/mid-major donors not being made aware and who have made this entire run happen to a great extent out of their pocketbooks. The “State of North Dakota” pocketbook, on the other hand, will never contribute significantly. Too much jealousy and parochialism in the legislature for that.

I wonder if we will ever be able to move up without dragging UND along.

Why? They didn’t want to come last time and when they finally did it hasn’t worked for them.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
I can't believe that whether it works or not for them they would allow us to be the only FBS school in the state. I could very well be wrong.

They are a load stone.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
Well, according to a statewide poll published in the Forum, it looks like the majority of us want to stay FCS. The only people that want us to move up are UND hockey fans (seriously). And we are by far the most popular college team in the state, way above un_ hockey. Read it for yourself. https://www.inforum.com/bison-media-...FCS-poll-finds
Here's an easier to see version of the poll questions and answers: https://www.scribd.com/document/4441...vey#from_embed

There's no doubt in my mind that if NDSU moved up and they only wanted NDSU, und would drop FB.

Nah, they'd keep it. They are willing to tolerate not doing well as long as hockey is safe and sound.
