Chubs stay on und thread we need you there. or go stalk kevin
we got this 1 covered.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
It's pretty obvious who in this thread has never even sat in on a contract negotiation. The last thing you want to do is appear desperate. There's a lot of speculation on a lot of things, but I am very confident in saying everybody that matters knows NDSU has an FBS caliber football team. We don't need to go shouting that from the rooftops.
As I've said before, there's a possibility the SBoHE quietly told our Pres/AD that we can't go FBS without UND. They have that power and it wouldn't be the first time they've held us back. If that did happen, we're SOL and there's nothing any of us can do about it. As much as we hate UND, from a neutral perspective keeping the 2 largest peer universities in the state peers IS a good thing that the SBoHE can justify doing.
To close this up, I very much doubt our Pres/AD have just been sitting on their hands watching the world go by for the last 10-15 years. I absolutely believe a regional partner is required to successfully go FBS, and if they can't find one we don't have a lot of other options.
Agree with everything but the bolded. Think you're way off there. They already have to subsidize them to be at the same level as us. No way they would take that to an even higher level. That would be a very "un" North Dakota thing to do.
It's just common sense that a state of 800k can't support 2 FBS programs. Pretty sure Bismarck knows this
FBS OR BUST FIRE LARSEN
Hey UND: 34-9...38-7...34-13...16-6...42-21
100% anti MAGA
If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"
When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
"The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
Lol ohh big Mr. Contract Man, I’m pretty young but I doubt you want to go there. I’ll just say I didn’t move to Dallas for the superior farmland.
How is stating your interest desperation? It has worked for majority of recent FBS move ups that I can think of. Again I contend the opposite, it shows potential suitors that you are interested in making a move sooner not later and you aren’t going to be sitting around forever waiting for them. No instead we say things like “Golly gee if you call I’ll answer the phone”.
I’ve been frustrated since the onset of “NDSU belongs at the second level of football, whatever that looks like” asshattery. I’ve been desperate since the one school who’s shown they’re not going to get punked every year we meet in Frisco left for greener pastures.
Although we continue to build great facilities, we have publicly shown no initiative that it’s about moving into a superior conference. Hence the frustration shown here. Prove me wrong PL. Where have we shown this initiative?
That’s the problem with being head of such a large public organization. You are responsible for not only the success of the organization but also keeping the support of the stakeholders. And our season ticket holders are starting to vote with their feet.
