    Re: Looking Ahead to 2024

    I think that they have the pieces in place to be successful EXCEPT that they are non-scholly. That will ultimately make them not competitive against the scholarship teams. There isn't enough NIL...

    Re: A new and better FBS thread

    This is what we needed to happen. If they are truly rebuilding the PAC there is no reason for them to take ALL of the MWC teams to fill out the roster. All they need is a minimum of 5 more schools...

    Re: 2023 fcs playoffs

    Personally, i kind of hope that this does happen. It will ignite the fire for NDSU, SDSU, Montana and Montana State to move up a level. Just like the d2 days, it took something major to get our...
  4. Re: EDT: Fargodome Expansion Vote vs Old Man Yells at Cloud (12-5-23)

    my two cents: I get why it didn't pass however by not passing this we are literally making things worse for Fargo tax payers in the future. Another similar vote will probably take place in future...

    Not that this would happen but could NDSU if it had funding in place choose to opt into the highest level? Dellinger has stated that ANY d1 school could opt in.

    Yes, not sure how this threat went off track. Liberty (from the CUSA) is the G5 representative in the NY6 bowl. So for all of those out there that hate on CUSA, they did accomplish something this...

    Over the weekend, both JMU and JSU were included in bowl selection due to a lack of other eligible teams. They will be going to a bowl - just not sure which one yet.

    Re: A new and better FBS thread

    I think that knowledgeable fans would understand that the competition is stiffer (top to bottom) in the CUSA than the MVFC. There is little history with most of those teams however you can't tell me...

    Re: A new and better FBS thread

    In theory this makes sense with the big issue being media rights and the money it generates. This would have to be football only, as NDSU and Hawaii would now be in the same conference! :)

    This is where I get lost. What is the mechanism for conferences getting more money? If media contracts are where the money comes from that either comes from new tv markets (where the school...

    Re: A new and better FBS thread

    I agree that the MVFC wouldn't do it as a whole however if we could get one or two others (primarily in our region of the country) to do this, that would be a great way to get a conference like CUSA...

    I couldn't agree with this more. I have never really spent much time thinking about how our problem is really that MN and WI don't have FBS football at a second school. You've got a point and an...
  13. Re: Fargo approves December 5th special election for Fargodome expansion, remodel

    It would be interesting to me to see projections on the potential increase in revenue to the city, what that does to the overall tax base and what the overall gain is to city residents vs. what a...
  14. Re: Fargo approves December 5th special election for Fargodome expansion, remodel

    I think that they have a much larger reach than you are suggesting. Sure, they draw Bison or sports fans in general but when they lead the evening news or write articles on page 1 of the newspaper...
  15. Re: Fargo approves December 5th special election for Fargodome expansion, remodel

    Yes, they have some time however the narrative has already been set by the NDSU media that this will be so great for Football. The narrative can be changed but it's very difficult. Dom, Kolpack and...
  16. Re: Fargo approves December 5th special election for Fargodome expansion, remodel

    This will never pass. Everything that I have read/listened to has led with how great this is for NDSU instead of focusing on the benefits to the city. That is a poor strategy.

    To give it the...

    Isn’t all of this a gamble? Say or go nothing is certain. Going D1 was a big gamble. It paid off but it could’ve gone much much worse. Right now we’re waiting for an invite (that we can’t...

    Not arguing that RIGHT NOW, football, is what drives the athletic budget. 5 years from now we'll be looking at home football attendance at sub-9000 fans. Anyone remember the Babich years?

    Re: A new and better FBS thread

    Going to Frisco is winning a playoff against like 3-4 other teams every year. Since we've won so much, there is no value (to the university) to winning more.

    Let's just reduce our spending by...

    I feel like it's the right time to ask this question.... If NDSU is in fact shut out of the FBS, what is the point of funding football to the level that we currently do? Could we slash our football...

    If this were to happen, the only hope for NDSU is if the MWC or AAC were to try to steal from one another in hopes of securing it's spot as the highest rated G5. This battle (if it were to happen)...
