A new and better FBS thread

[bruinbison]

man watching Coastal Carolina consistently ranked really chaps me why NDSU hasn't jumped yet

that's your litmus test

Can you show us where any FBS conference was interested in adding NDSU
the last 10 years?
That would be your litmus test.
Links???

As always, extra extra credit for articles mentioning/quoting Mountain West Conference officials, Mountain West Athletic Directors & staff, Mountain West Football Coaches, Mountain West beat writers etc.

And extra extra extra credit for showing Craig Bohl & Wyoming were interested in adding NDSU to the Mountain West……

I always enjoy reading such NDSU - FBS articles.

Scroll thru this thread there are mentions here or there

but I'll say it for the 150th time just for you.

NDSU ADMIN ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE SELLING/SOLICITING NDSU !!! and they haven't, they have been content to just stay the course....its much easier.

I gave you your easy “litmus test” to pass,
so in other words, for the 150th time just for you,
you ain’t got nothing……sigh

So CUSA is going to be presented with a regionalization plan that would rearrange CUSA, AAC and Sun Belt and group teams by region. Apparently CUSA is interested and paid for the research/proposal in hopes of convincing the others but AAC and Sun Belt have already basically said they don't even want to hear it, they're not interested.

The selling and soliciting he's talking about would be at least partially public. You'd have a feasibility study that is made public. You tell the world we'd like to move in this direction. We showcase the practice facility as FBS-quality. Sure, you're making phone calls behind the scenes but you are also trying to raise support for the idea publicly. Get sports fans and sports writers on your side. Prepare the NDSU fan base for what should be the future. We know none of that happened because we are the public, and none of it happened in front of us. Instead, what we did see and hear from NDSU leadership for years has been repeated statements that FCS is where we belong. That this is the sweet spot. That we want to play for national championships. So, there's the proof. Unless we're not supposed to believe our lying eyes and ears.

Then believe what you want. Youve rationalized your stance.

you 2 are so d2. hell bruin loves when NDSU gets a commit and he only has D2 offers.

it's ridiculous that Coastal is RANKED #15 !!!

NDSU should already be FBS BUT ADMIN doesn't live up to the motto. "Bring on the Competition"

When NDSU was looking to transition to D1, was their a public feasibility study done? If so, I would expect a similar outcome this time around. The truth is that NDSU has said very little regarding moving to FBS football. A few generic comments that mostly backup what the Professor mentioned.
