A new and better FBS thread

[El_Chapo]

I look forward to signing your petition to get amending the State constitution on an upcoming ballot.
That's what it takes to shut down certain schools (namely Mayville, VC, Minot, Dickinson, Bottineau).

See: Article VIII, Section 6.

split them up between ndsu und. big deal

Charm/Kiss Ass the ND HIGHER ED BOARD during the interviews and when you get in GLOVES COME OFF.

NDSU has been held back for 10 years now, with the growth of Fargo area and its athletics and Engineering, NDSU should be 20,000 students easily and busting at the seams making FBS conference a slam dunk
.it's embarrassing what has happened with the Bismarck/pro und people holding NDSU down.

JFC-you have no freaking clue how this really works, do you? Most of your spewage is made-up bullshit but this statement is really award winning stuff.

[WhoRepsTheLurker]

Ask Kendall Baker how that worked out for him ...


NDSU has a group called "Phase II Budget Reduction Committee". I've seen the emails, as recent as Nov 2021, in the listserv --> "Each of the Phase II Budget Reduction Committees will be holding campus discussions to gather input" is the opening sentence of the email.

And have you all heard about the coming cliff as far as students.


Is a solid NDSU good for the State? Definitely. But understand there are challenges of greater priority that athletics fans don't see that it is working on. (Much the same is true at UND.)


And I still say regarding FBS: "build it".

You guys are funny

Doesn’t look like the cuts will be that much, and they all stem from a budget model based on enrollment, pushed by DB, that hurt you less because of your strong on-line enrollment. Looks to be normalizing now

Also, NDSU may get Ag money, but you get Med School money. Nice try tho. If you normalize NDSU’s output by staff, you might be scared … Does "North Dakota" mean "double standard" in Lakota or something? Different schools, different niches. That’s the only way this works.

As for FBS, build it from what? MVFC? Ha ha ha. Thanks for the chuckle. NDSU and JMU are the only ones FBS ready. The Dakota model in D1 will mean that there will be disparities in athletics success. It’s a D2 model, after all, and the pot is shrinking.

But here’s what I really don’t get about you guys. NDSU jumped up, much to your ridicule, and experienced great success. They never missed you. If NDSU jumps, there’s your opportunity to prove that you can be successful at the D1/FCS level, assuming that’s what you’re really interested in?

I only ask because you mentioned what they're really interested in.

It's so rich to have a fan/assumed grad of the school that has lied and cheated their way to additional state funding explaining to us dumb farmers how SBOHE works.

Yeah, we're well aware. The only reason UND has a pulse at this point is because the state gov legislates their heartbeat. Go get a degree from an R1 institution before you start trying to educate your "peers" sheesh

law school & med school should be privatized and voila und would be shut down saving the state Millions/ Billions??

[daddy daycare]

So after all these years, there's been zero proposals that make sense. An FBS move should generate fan excitement and bring in new fans. Good luck with that from what the options are. Dwindling attendance will continue unless it's something legit. 20 year season ticket holder here just being real, deal with it.

Hopefully for Christmas you guys get "your way" and we can be on the ESPN ticket like Wyoming on 12/21 sometime so watch players sprinkle French Fries on Entz in front of a crowd full of parents. Sounds amazing.

I think that you must have a grab bag of around 25-30 catch phrases or just stupid statements and you hide your eyes, pick them out of the bag, and cobble them into your posts. It is the only thing that explains the buffoonery of your contributions to BV.

So we don't lose anything from going FBS? Great, thanks for your approval

First it was quality of football team, then it was academics, then it was financials, then it was attendance, then it was TV numbers. Now you compare us to FBS teams that wouldn't even be in the semifinals and pretend like the Idaho Potato Bowl is the best we could do.

And then you play dumb about strawman arguments. Good thing you aren't a lawyer. Enjoy your 9 home games a year, it's literally the only reason to advocate for staying FCS at this point.
