If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"
When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
In the long run, I don't think there will be 3 divisions in "Division 1". I think the P5 breaks away and then there will be the rest - similar to how it was 10-15 years ago before a bunch of FCS teams moved up. I don't see it happening soon and definitely don't see NDSU moving up before that's figured out.
I think that the Pioneer keeps proving over and over to be sustainable and win you have to have some semblance of scholarship athletes. Why else do the first 2 teams eligible for an autobid get found to have irregularlities in funding for athletes. IMO to compete at this level of football you need to have a certain minimum scholarships. While I don't know where this leaves the IVY because they don't participate in the postseason, I believe there is some desire in some of the schools to participate in it.
FWIW.....
