Independence FBS would give NDSU to opportunity to schedule Power 5 OOC games, maybe 2-3 of them
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Not sure anyone can make it work without the backing of either the department of defense or a divine entity.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
no, I don't want NDSU football to fail. And I'd prefer to be in a conference. Further, I do think teams want to play us. Teams like to play good games against legit competition. Right now, the calculation is that it isn't worth the risk for FBS teams to plays us, because they might lose. But if we are FBS, then it would be a good loss, in as much as losses can be good. You're so underselling the current and potential value of NDSU football.
I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.
Here is an article that popped up discussing an NDSU move to FBS. The guy gives predictions regarding competitiveness with current FBS programs and also discusses conference fits.

Title should read " What if NDSU received an FBS conference invite" people are totally ignorant and don't understand that tomorrow NDSU can't just say Hey fuck this let's go FBS.
The ignorance of how the process works and guidelines with even the National media is astounding
