    Absolutely. Waiting for an invitation to the perfect conference/situation to just fall in our laps is stupid. Get there, prove viability and success and continue to build. We literally cannot do anything else at this level to show the university is ready for bigger things.

    Why do you guys rail on ML when he’s not the one you should be railing on?

    When NDSU gets a Falwell let me know... then Indy might be an option. Until then it's not sustainable for anything beyond a few years and I fail to see how NDSU is any more attractive to a prospective FBS conference as an Indy than they would be as an FCS program. I agree that NDSU absolutely should be reaching out to CUSA to gauge the feasibility of a football only invite... but I do not think NDSU should bend over backwards for an invite.

    That’s how this is usually done, no? Why would NDSU be any different?

    A president having a Director of Athletics that they couldn’t consult, lean on and trust for a decision like this would be a fool of a president. Dean Bresciani is not a fool.

    Besides, Dean isn’t the one getting interviewed by the media on a monthly basis. Why would the media incessantly ask ML if he has no say in the matter?

    Dakotas and Montanas should start a new conf and sue the NCAA, claiming anti-trust violations, for a waiver to start a new fbs conference. Look at the profile of these schools compared to the lower G5 schools.. theres no reason that geography should be the only reason a school like NDSU cant move up. Leverage this in a way to get schools like uni and illinois state into the same all sports conference. Add a couple more teams out west and have protected rivalries to help with travel cost.

    There is one Dakota school with support to make FBS work, maybe a 2nd. The other two would be dead weight.

    The Montanas can’t even spell FBS and nor would they want to.

    Best part is where you convince UNI and Illy State to leave the MVC. Ha!
