Bison in the FCS and not the FBS

[tony]

Seems like the best conference games from a fan's perspective our SDSU and UNI and NDSU has an NCC history with both teams.

USD will probably be pretty good too. I'd hate to lose those games - I like the blend of old and new.

Nice avatar. It's a shame you couldn't change it to that kittie pic I'm sure you had lined up.

Damn shame.

I like the blend, too. I haven't made up my mind about FCS/FBS. The transition to FCS has gone so smoothly it's shaped my view of how a further transition to FBS would go. If the MVFC as a whole made a push for FBS, I'd probably support it in word but probably not financially until I have more income (or my values change) to dispose on such a move. If the Big 10 begged us to join (...), I'd probably throw in a small one-time donation. The atmosphere at TCF this year was something I'd love to have at every game.

I am pretty sure that those who talk about the Bison moving to the FBS are just hypothesizing, and that's actually what I'm doing too. I haven't heard any actual news of this occurring. However, I'm curious as to what people here on Bisonville would think of that. Personally, for now, I want the Bison to stay in the FCS. I would think it would be very unlikely that the Bison would jump from FCS to a BCS conferences ( however with all the shuffling of conferences who knows?) and that is what my hypothesis rests on. I believe, as I think Montana figured out, that there is a certain prestige in the top tier of FCS football. Say for the sake of argument we were accepted into the Mid-American conference: what chance do we and frankly any of these teams have at finishing high enough in the BCS to go to a BCS bowl game?? It may be becuase many of the MAC teams are outside of the FM media market, but I really don't know anything about many of these teams! Bowling Green? Ohio? Buffalo? I know of Toledo because they got some ESPN exposure from playing Ohio State and Boise State. I may be barking up the wrong tree, but I'd rather be top of the FCS than lost in the shuffle of a mid-major that has little to no chance at playing for a BCS title/bowl game.

Thoughts?

Not this again.......................

There should be a counter on the home page that says "We've gone x number of days since our last FBS discussion....." Probably wouldn't get much higher than 1.

I met Lakes this weekend and besides every other word being F*ck it was BCS! Kinda funny!

...your (2011 Champions) test results showed its not worth the cost and trying to teach you would be a waste of resources.

I agree with your assessment of "our friend" except that we can make a clinical diagnosis--no tests necessary.
