    No offense to wrestling and basketball, but I see more people donating for a football building faster than the BSA.

    NDSU FOOTBALL SELLS I bet they could raise $100 million in 1 year if a concentrated effort was made.

    $10 million from scheels Sanford rdo
    $5 million from pro seed, bobcat, burgum NDSU student fees.

    That's $50million.
    1000 donors at $2000/year over 20 years= $40 million.
    500 donors at $500/year over 20 years = $10 million.

Again the basketball program would get national TV games much more regularly. I think the MWC would take NDSU athletics to a whole different level.

    That said I don't think MWC would give much thought to add NDSU. It is hard to sell schools in California and Nevada that adding a school in North Dakota is a good idea.
    I'll agree to disagree about the first paragraph. Primarily because I simply have zero interest in those MWC programs (and I see myself as typical). Wyoming? I never watched a single football game until they played NDSU and I've never watched one since. Same is true of most of the rest of the conference. I totally agree with the last part. I'll trust John's input since he lives in Vegas and has stated they simply aren't interested in NDSU. Until, and unless, that changes, the discussion tends to be pointless.

    2) NDSU can't schedule games with the FBS G5. They don't want to play FCS schools unless its an easy win, and NDSU is a definite NO for the group. This Time is NOW.

    Why are the two questions above so important for NDSU?

    Playing FBS P5 & G5 schools are what have made NDSU relavant in the college Football landscape, and what the fans Want and Need. If the only games that NDSU is able to schedule and play are FCS games, it is TIME to move to the next level. That TIME appears to be NOW.

    What stay FCS? Another Title or Two is the only reason. NDSU's national relavance will peak in 2014, and decline going forward without P5 and G5 games.

    Hell yea.

    Please explain how you expect to make this move when we dont have a conference that wants us?

    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

    Any bowl game is viewed by more people than fcs title game, every bowl game gets a whole day dedicated to it.......fcs title game on espn 2 waiting for St. John's vs villinova basketball game to get done does not.

    Haven't all of you seen frisco enough now? Time to broaden your travels.

    NDSU should be selling these conferences and asking them if they would add NDSU. NOT SIT AND WAIT!

    Like this:
    NDSU: We are very interested in joining the MWC and we think we could bring a great product to your conference.
    MWC: sorry, we have no plans for expansion at this time.

    NDSU: We are very interested in joining the MAC and feel we would be a great addition to your conference.
    MAC: We are not interested at this time, thanks for calling.

    NDSU: Um... anybody got the number for the Sunbelt?

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
