    I don't care what Carlson thinks.

    If NDSU moves to the FBS...you can add $1.5 million automatically...that is the cut the lower FBS schools get from the playoffs. Money games would increase in value as well. These leagues also get some TV money.

    There is a gap that we would have make up though. I won't deny that. How big that gap is, I'm not sure.

    Oh, well. If that's all we need. 5 million a year every year. And we're near the top. Let's just do it tomorrow then.

    Moreover, who's going to write the check every single year after that?

    5 Million a year to be near the middle. Of the SUN BELT. Right now the budget is near 15-17 million. That would be squarely in the middle.

    Our budget right now is 16.8 million.

    NIU competes very well with $23 million budget in the MAC.

    Never underestimate the power of Al Carlson to do something colossally stupid.

    NDSU's budget would be near the bottom of that list.

    and that's the Sun Belt which sucks mightily.
    The 2012 budget was 16.8 million so we could easily be in the middle of the pack. The size of the budget doesn't tell the complete story either. It depends how you allocate your dollars too. For us football is king obviously

    That's a difference of $6.2 million dollars. Every year, to compete in the same division with schools spending $100 million dollars.
