it's a f$%#king plane ride 5 times a year. WE DAM NEAR ALREADY DO THAT!!!
enough w the geography bull$hit its MOOT.
with the NEW EXPANDED CFP w the #1 ranked G5 getting an AUTOMATIC BID......AAC & MWC should want the best football teams in their conference to achieve that!!!
NDSU
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
it's a strawman for pussy ass admin & fans who fear ndsu failing.
WE WOULS NOT FAIL AT FBS.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Strawman alert!
Facts are hard. It sucks.
It's 6 times a year IF we can get a football only invite. That's not easy at the FBS level. Our costs would go up many other ways as well, more than the $2m/y AAC payout. Better media payout is part of the reason I like MWC. But AAC would be a great move. Need to get basketball on track, that's a very competitive conference.
It's becoming clear NDSU leadership wants to do this right, and not settle for some pansy ass conference like CUSA or ASun/WAC. They are wiser than most people here give them credit for.
I cant imagine the AAC inviting us directly from FCS.
We are stuck in between all of them. AAC would be the strongest in regards to competition. MAC would be best for footprint and we already recruit in some of those area. MWC wouldnt be ideal for away game times, but some of the teams are close and I think many of them are our peers. Overall I think MWC would be the best for all sports.
Geography smiles upon them.
