Pretty sure SFA is a lockfor CUSA's 12th spot. That leaves EKU, Missouri State, Illinois State, and Tarleton as FCS schools that have expressed interest in FBS.

The talk of going FBS with the other 3 Dakota schools is beyond insane. There isn't enough money in either state to support it and there is not enough talent in the upper Midwest to support 4 FBS...

NDSU needs to add Women's Wrestling ASAP so that the program can be up and running before an FBS invite is announced. I don't necessarily hate the new rules but wish we were on the right side of the...

Texas State has one the one thing that most of the recent Texas move ups don't have. They are a large traditional growing university in a true college town where a big chunk of their students live on...

There is lots of speculation that Delaware and SFA are going to go FBS soon and will likely join the other recent move ups in CUSA. The MWC or AAC are never going to add a school directly from FCS....

Temple was voted out of the Big East for having shitty football, just saying...

The 400 million dollar 25,000 seat expandable stadium has been approved and is set to open in 2028.

We don't need additional capacity for regular games against random opponents, you need it for big games. If Wyoming and Craig Bohl were coming to Fargo we would easily sell out 25k. However, as part...

I poached this off the csnbbs board from an attendance smack thread. I'm not sure it means anything but is interesting in regards to what kind of capacity we need long term for an FBS move. 25,000...

FAU has three things we don't, location, location, location. I do 100% agree on one thing, I would much rather us spend some serious cash to fund the basketball program at a mid major level over...

Have you been to the SHAC? I am grateful that we have it but it is no where near upper G5 and is not even in the top half of the Summit. The MWC and AAC are overall better basketball conferences then...

This could actually work out well for us. A MWC that is dominated by western Land grants is the perfect forever home for NDSU. Due to the way that realignment is shaking out, it looks like the MWC...

It's an interesting thought. I wonder if a deal could be structured to get us into the AAC where we take a quarter share or less for x amount of years. As long as we could retain statewide TV rights...

False, it's the perfect scenario for NDSU.The remaining PAC members aren't going to merge with the MWC, it would be dumb for them to do so. They would give up their current P5 autonomy, NCAA...

He's not wrong. We would compare nicely with our football practice and office facilities, we would have the 2nd smallest football stadium in all of FBS. In addition, there are some tremendous...

I haven't seen the numbers lately, but I believe UND has a significantly higher athletic fee than NDSU. I would think it would be an easy sell to said faculty to say we are just rasing student fees...

Don't forget facilities... The FFD is the perfect size for NDSU FCS football but it will never be an adequate FBS facility. It would currently rank 3rd to last in capacity. Charlotte has plans in...

I'll go even farther and say that they have largely surpassed us. Name a sport outside of T&F that they haven't out competed us on a consistent basis over the last 5 years? I'll hang up and listen.

We can start by tearing down Dacotah and building a legit DI basketball centric arena with all the fan amenities we can possibly stuff into it.

For all of the CUSA haters, just remember that the Sun Belt used to be called the Sun Belch. It was by far the worst of all the FBS conferences before APP and GASO got there and helped turn it around.

Montana State = SDSU
Both fan bases and their leadership are 100% okay with staying in FCS. Montana and NDSU see things a bit differently.

Gotta start somewhere. When we moved to DI we were in a BB conference with Cemetery and signed up for the Great West with CS Northridge, UC Davis, and Cal Poly. Starting out in FBS with UTEP, La...

You missed the top 6 conference champions get an auto-bid part. At that point, your basically the defacto G5 national champ with a chance to showcase yourself on the Big stage. It's not perfect but...

More details have been released. Top 4 get a buy and all first round games will be hosted on campus (or venue of their choice) by higher seed. Can you imagine the complete chaos in this state if we...
