But they wouldn’t. All monetary things being equal, the only difference is perceived (by players—and maybe some fans) level of play. In sum, my proposition brings us to no NIL but current portal...

You missed the cap part and I failed to include the assumption that all schools were at that level.

IMO, and given the current transfer rules, there would be the same amount of kids entering the...

Let’s assume, arguendo, that NIL Collectives at all schools (just for football for the sake of this discussion) were somehow legally capped at $100m—would that decrease the number of players entering...

Many of you may think PL/56Bison is blowing smoke when he says there are still many huge donors with lots of $$ still pissed about what happened pregame v. Central Ark in fall of 20. He’s...

And there’s the Elephant in the room. In the last many years, TMs have paid more for seats under the auspices of TM fees, and financed FCOA. What more are we capable of financially, especially give...

Trust me on this: Our AD/staff have heard our message to move up and are working their collective asses to get there. Not an easy task …. at all.

They hear us and understand the landscape.

But they are playing Tennessee State either next year or year after.

What’s funny (odd?) is that Mr. FBS/Chapo didn’t even attend the one FBS game (AZ) that we have played in the last 8-9 years, yet here his is.

Also, sounding like the FCS Chipper game will have...

Your line of reasoning with Chapo is off base. He wants NDSU to FBS for his own ego and lack self-satisfaction, and so that he can go on FBS boards and be “at their level”, regardless of whether NDSU...

This thread reminds me of Soap Operas: One can not look at it for months, come back to it, and, bingo, your caught right up because the storyline doesn’t change.

IMO, there’s a fine line here. I know many people who, rather than go to game, have “watch parties” at their homes with 10-20 people who would otherwise/more than likely go to the game but for TV...

At least those that will be there want to be there.

Indy’s point on ticket price has wheels, especially with how well our economy is doing with inflation at an all time low and home goods almost...

That’s one team in MWC and happens to be the closest to us. Keep going with the other teams and see where things end.

Also, and to assist in your reading comprehension, it’s not about fans as much...

And difficult to convince kids our west to come to Fargo IMO. See how this works? It doesn’t for us.

AAC. We do not fit in a western time zone conference.

MWC/Mac joinder isn’t gonna happen, but, if it did, that would be a better fit for us, absent other alternatives. Just do the math there.

Did I not post “if they converge”? English? Do you speak/read it?

No, but I do for those who ask that question … and my Rez rescue dog, although she’s doesn’t have access to the internet like “people in general” do, so she has that going for her.

But, yet, that’s where we will be absent a measured approach to FBS.

And I’ll say it again—>MWC is not where we want to be, absent them and MAC converging. We do not want nor can we manage the...

Waiting on Wyo/Fresno game to start—have a bit of time yet.

Anyone wanna discuss why MWC isn’t a good fit for us/team/fan base?

Timeslots just do not fit for us. Nor travel.

A fan’s interest in “their” team shouldn’t be dictated by what level of football their team is playing in. I get the feeling that is the feeling of a lot of posters here. I’ll go to a bowl game if we...

From what you are saying, I gather we have a different perspective/view of things re: football and watching/analyzing games and schemes. That’s ok. We get our personal satisfaction in different ways...

Why do I feel you wouldn’t post this if the MBB team was dominant at DI level and won 9 of 11 conference titles and made it to NCAA playoffs all those years?

Or the fan base needs to feel less entitled. There were no sure wins with this team this year, except the first two games, and certainly none in the upcoming playoffs.

It’s a fan issue/coddling...

You don’t understand a lot of things.

I don’t disagree. Not sure the AD would disagree either, in private at least.
