    That's a legitimate excuse, but still the reality of the situation is that someday we may be in the same level of college football as the lower level fbs teams, right now from budget comparison we are not competitive.

    If that day ever comes in our current situation. We will either need to be on that third tier or deal with the fact that we just cant compete on a comparative resource level as those others.

    Not much you can do when your expense is far greater than what you can possibly bring in.

    If this tier thing happens budgets might be changing a bit.

    With that said if you look at the MAC or Sun Belt NDSU isn't that far off if you look at budgets.

    Watching the mountain west media coverage right now, so this is relevant, not trying to start a holy war.

    Bohl is still a charmer, mentioning NDSU a lot in interviews.


    Question for you all: where would NDSU finish in this preseason poll.

    MWC Media Poll:

    Mountain:
    Boise St
    Utah St
    CSU
    Wyoming
    New Mexico
    Air Force

    I'd say 3rd, what say you.
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

    Imo, this years NDSU team is pretty much unpredictable. Too many question marks. As a fan makes it both scary and exciting.

And although we feel like we could field a competitive team but what about the institution? Think about it guys, Wyoming just took our coach because we couldn't compete financially. If the split happens, these guys will be our peers, not a level up. We just got our lunch money taken by one of our possible future competitors. I think we got some work to do.
    You are correct. We did lose our coach. But by moving up how does that change anything? It doesnt unless NDSU figures out a way to bring in an additional 10 million a year EVERY YEAR.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I'd say first in the Missouri Valley Football Conference is better. We'll go FBS when the time comes and not before. Who wants to be third?
