    Scottie. Plenty of options out there .

    Legacy fund has 6.5 Billion in it. Wouldn't giving money to a state funded on campus 42,000 football stadium help the state?

    if the AAC wants NDSU as a Football ONLY you jump at that. But you need an ADMIN that will actually CALL THE AAC.

    I've heard from multiple sources at NDSU that none of these conversations have taken place.

    and None of you have disputed the fact that Dean is retiring in 3-4 years and Stony Brook guy wakes up every day thanking his lucky stars he was able to take over a finely tuned automobile. Why would either of those 2 risk anything, its the North Dakota way.


    AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT, STAY OUT OF THE THREADS THEN & LEAVE PERSONAL INSULTS TO YOURSELF .

    Bullshit. You have no idea what conversations have or havent taken place.

    You might also want to work on your reading comprehension as the attitude of Bison fans has not been shown to be what you have described.

    Everything about this team COMPETITIVELY has proven history wrong over and over and over again and will continue to do so. there are so many reasons you could chose to argue against FBS, but NDSU not being able to sustain success is probably the stupidest one, and the one that matters least in the grand scheme. virtually everything else matters more when considering jumping- competitive success is probably in the bottom half of the list
    Nobody is arguing against FBS. Everyone also said the Bison from the 80 would never end. Ive heard the same narrative about Texas, LSU, Alabama etc etc etc.
    Its a fact. It doesnt last forever.

    So now competitive success IS a reason to go FBS? havent you agreed multiple times in this thread that is ISNT important- that instead, all the other factors are more important?

    Just trying to keep track of all the goal posts youre moving
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    me- we are unprecedentedly good and it aint changing any time soon- besides, it doesnt even matter since on the field competition isnt that important in this conversation
    you- yeah, what HE said
    Me- wait, so now you think on field competition IS important?
    You- How dare you, Sir! How Dare you!
