A new and better FBS thread

[daddy daycare]

There’s not a “crowd” saying let’s take Hawaii’s spot. There is me pointing out that they are a shitty FB program and I don’t know what the hell they’re doing in the Mountain West.

I have stated that we’re not going to take hawaiis spot. Don’t put words in peoples mouths…

Like calling people the "FCS forever crowd"? Same thing. Deal with it.

this NDSU / ARIZONA matchup was an opportunity for our AD and PRESIDENT to ACT like a FBS program and put some feelers out there, make some calls.

SHIT I would of invited some mountain west presidents to come witness a NDSU fan takeover and show that NDSU could bring 10,000 fans to a Boise St, Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado State game on a random saturday.


with the NEW CFP G5 PLAYOFF SPOT OPENING UP IN 2 YEARS NDSU HAS TO BE IN THAT PERIOD!

I don't know how to break this news to you but they know fully god damn well who NDSU is and what they bring to the table. Saturday will be nothing new to anyone.

In the 2021-22 realignment, 16 out of 25 football conferences had changes. Just 3 of those ended up with an odd number of teams.
ASUN with 5 who thought they had 6 but is actively looking for another after JSU left and is currently in a scheduling alliance with the WAC.
CAA which who knows what they're doing with 15.
CUSA with 9 and anybody who could fog a mirror.
EVERYONE else took an even number. If we want to go MWC or MAC, who will be the other team to keep an even number for scheduling purposes?
Sure, CUSA needs just 1, but holy hell no. The current CUSA is awful and most definitely a step down.

[MWC]

After this season, the MW will no longer have divisions or a need for an even number.

Is it though? I hear ya that CUSA isn’t as attractive as the MWC or MAC but to talk in absolutes like our current situation in the MVFC/Summit is far and away superior seems a bit naive to me. The MVFC/Summit is a low major situation. CUSA is as well but it may provide an easier path to a true mid major conference vs. the current MVFC/Summit. I’ll give you that the MVFC is more stable, the Summit is not really. It’s more stable than it’s been because of the Dakota 4 but outside of that it’s not.

They just keep running the same old excuses.

And yet you can never seem to offer an argument otherwise. Aside from your sig of FBS or Bust, where Bust means the destruction of NDSU athletics no matter the cost.

That’s a bit over dramatic don’t you think? The risk of staying FCS is on par with going FBS. To act like one is demonstrably more risky than the other is ridiculous.

[NDSUstudent]

Could just as easily argue staying FCS could destroy NDSU athletics. It is a completely uncompelling product that is on a massive decline that our school is charging its fanbase P5 prices to see. I can tell you right now that isn't sustainable, casual fans have basically lost interest in the program because FCS offers absolutely nothing to get excited for.
