on ESPN and not ESPN 2 before Dec 14th. Plus we ARENT TALKING ABOUT THE MAC. this is the AAC thread!!
Group of 5 > fcs all day ever day.
the naysayers, just love to move the goalposts on EVERY conversation. (talking about AAC, they bring up Macation on wed night).. (talking about football only, they bring up basketball/olympic sports)
your flailing around with your fingers in your ears going na na na na can't hear you is embarassing.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Too bad the other teams in the MVFC have not been able to pick up the pace and compete with NDSU. When we came into that conference we had to grow up and get up to speed. Since then the other teams have drifted down hill except for SDSU primarily. It has created a quandry for the Bison now on "what to do".
Big 12 is too much of jump given the size of our stadium, would they even take us in? MAC is not as competitive as what we want IMO. MWC is a lot more travel costs and then you have Boise St. and WYO then... good?
How about a new FBS conference creation with NDSU, SDSU, UND, USD, UNI, N. Ill., and lets see.... one or two more.... Toledo and ???
Would the NCAA support this? How about sponsors and TV contracts? Not a chance I suppose...
Let's Go Bison!!!

And, don’t believe everything you think—jussayin’.
Liberals of BV need not respond to my posts. I don’t need to get any more dumb.
Can't move up a whole conference.
I still don't know why a talk of a new stadium hasn't be bantied about more .
On Campus, Owned by NDSU, All Revenue goes to NDSU.
4 Corporations, $50 million each (over 25 years ) They each get their own corner concourse of the stadium for marketing
NDSU raises $75 million.
$275 Million 42,000 seat Semi Enclosed 2 deck stadium keeps the wind out. NDSU can sell beer there, Have Concerts, NDSU Departments could utilize it.
NDSU engineering/architecture students could be apart of it. It would give you a valid reason to raise Student Fee's.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
I always thought of the MAC as a possible stepping stone. Get in there and dominate from day one for 4 years, get some more rep with the P5 games that we win, maybe get ranked a couple times and hope that only then the Big XII is an actual option. From there I’ve got nothing. Otherwise I guess I can just watch the games and drink like normal. Maybe one of you a holes wins the lottery and decides to donate a couple million for the cause and help boost the prestige of the academics at NDSU.
Run the damn ball!! PRO FBS

I believe starting a new FBS conference would be our only real chance, and it would take some schools getting together to create a proposal for the new conference. Maybe get some additional years to meet attendance, scholarship, etc. requirements. I would suggest adding the best of the Big Sky schools, Montana, Montana State and others too. Just not right that schools in the northern tier can never move up due to lack of nearby FBS conferences. I suggested this before, but did not hear much for comments either way.
