A new and better FBS thread

[NDSU92]

No. This is dumb. We do what it takes to get there. We work out the details later.

This whole "wait for the right time has some jack shit.. we should have been FBS years ago. We go where we get invited and we say thank you very much.

We got some idiots on this board who think we are in a position to bargain.... we aren't... and we never have been.

No we should wait, maybe the Dalai Lama will let us know when it’s time. Or I can get my witch doctor buddy to read the bones tomorrow to see what the spirits say.

Either would be better than using strategic planning and assertiveness.

I’m of the idea that waiting for the right time with everything going on would solidify us being absolutely 100% STUCK in the FCS.

we've been. waiting 8 fucking years. like a 42 year old skank from Hoople... going to Hoople Bar every Friday hoping to land that "DREAMY HUSBAND" just waiting & waiting.... but it's Hoople (fcs) and the pickings are slim

Why don't one of you FBS guys get your head out of your ass and
do some research for once. What is our total budget and what is the
average budget for a FBS program. Not only do you have to be invited,
you need the $$$'s to be successful. You can't survive 0n $100
donors like you, Sam.

This is a productive post. I bet you are fun at parties.

That isn't true. I'm not sure where including all of ND TV market places it, but bismarck and fargo combined would be larger than a lot of p5 areas today. Alone they are both in top 150 markets. Then you look at this as captive of a tv market as you could get. The only fbs school in the state with a tv market well into top 100 is marketable and creates some leverage.

For most of the last decade, the Bison have been the darlings of espn. Let's use them. Espn positions itself to be king makers, it is time to leverage this into a move. Where do they want ndsu? The giant killer joins the giants. This needs to be attacked from every angle.

With absolutely nothing more than just showing up and using the extra full scholarships, ndsu is competitive in all g5 conferences. They are competitive day one in a couple of the p5 conferences. In football, at its peak, this has been a top 20 program in all of d1. At its worse, which is pretty much right now, they are still ahead of a lot of p5 programs. Competitiveness adds a little bit of leverage. It strengthens a conference on the first day. If eventual playoff expansion happens, this benefits everyone.

Sure NDSU can't call up and say take us and our billion dollar endowment but then only Texas can say that. Otherwise, there are other benefits NDSU can play on to create a small bidding war between conferences. Maybe that positions the Bison into the best g5 scenario without a tv contract waiting period. To say they have no leverage isn't true either.

You can't survive playing juco schools for non con games either. Especially when your so called peers are still getting fbs games. The only positive I see is if ndsu sucks at fcs football for a few years maybe a few fbs games will come back. Should be an easy sell for recruiting.

Come and crush a bunch of nobodies and then get to play sdsu. That's all they got going now.

if we were FBS our TV stream link would already be listed and the gambling sites would have our game listed ALL week instead of 3 hours prior!! GRRRRRRRRRRR

our $23 Mill budget would work in Mountain West. You would get an automatic $7 Million in revenue from tv deal, CFP & Big Dance money.
$30 Mil puts us about 5th in mountain west
