We are a basketball school!
4 Division 1 Big Dances in 10 years > 7 FCS football titles
Don't even try and debate this, you are foolish if you do.
NDSU's will to win is un-matched in big spots.
the NATIONAL exposure for the BIG dance trumps fcs title game on sat 1pm in january.. NDSU will be on MILLIONS of Brackets!
Re: We are a basketball school!
Well... apples to oranges
Making the playoffs 40% of the time and winning 1 game vs winning the National Championship or making the semifinals 9 straight years. Wins over top Big Ten and Big 12 teams.
I want to see us be a basketball school though. Need to sustain the success and start packing the SHAC for that to happen. Need the revenue

I don't think Chapo knows how to do purple text. Just assume everything is purple.
Re: We are a basketball school!
They have to start bringing in better non-conference teams than the crap they are bringing in now.
Re: We are a basketball school!
No, we're not. If you want to say making the big dance 4 times brought more exposure than winning 7 FCS titles go ahead. It's a different type of exposure for each and each is great but a basketball school averages more than 2,000 for home attendance throughout the season. A basketball school makes more of an effort to schedule quality non-conference home games. A basketball school would pay their head coach more than ~200k a season. A basketball school would've renovated the BSA in a way that made more sense from a basketball standpoint.

So do you want the 40,000 seat football stadium since we now a basketball school?
I think from a money standpoint and national attention standpoint the Basketball tournament is a much bigger deal than the football championship. Locally and regionally, the football championships are perceived to be the bigger deal.

Re: We are a basketball school!

Re: We are a basketball school!
LOLOLOL. Too good Chapo.

Re: We are a basketball school!
Hes not wrong. Nobody besides ndsu fans can recite the no name schools ndsu beat for fcs championships. They remember Iowa, k-state and Oklahoma wins when it matters.
