    My take on this whole topic is this. If we have a sound plan and all our ducks in a row in regards to conference affiliation, funding, stadium, title IX, etc, then sure I'm all for moving to FBS. But moving just for the sake of being FBS without any sound plan is dumb. This isn't like playing NCAA Football dynasty mode on XBox or Playstation where you control some crappy MAC or SunBelt team and after having one awesome year you get invited to he Big12, SEC, etc.

    Until then let's just enjoy our awesome teams and support them while they continue to kick everybody's ass.

    This is pretty naive. Remember each session when we go to Bismarck to beg for money? I do.

    There is no reality there, we beg for money every session, it wouldn't fly.

    Precisely. See the thread discussing funding.

    I agree with this. There will be a home for the Bison after the shake up. I think Boise State moves up with a couple other G5 schools into the P5 to fill out the Big 12 and such, and then there will be a reset in the G5 conferences to make them competitive and relevant. They will develop their own playoff system and it will look very much like today's FCS.

    SDBISON you are also correct, the average joe in Jamestown would love to go see the bison play, but they can't buy a ticket and they won't pay $75-100/ticket. We are missing out on growing the product.
    FSN would help.
    Step 1: wine 'em
    Step 2: dine 'em
    Step 3: sixty-nine 'em
    Step 4: profit

    If el chumpo was on the phone that would be his arrogant answer.
    This is all mute until there is a conference invite. And I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    I still don't see the P5 splitting away from the NCAA. They already have autonomy and will make their own rules. And it's just a matter whether or not the rest can follow. They still need to schedule G5 games to fill out their schedule. So I don't understand the let's see what the P5 does before we doing anything logic. I definitely don't buy the theory that the upper FCS and G5 would combine to have their playoff system. To me that's a pipedream also.

    I'm against, and I side with many arguments in this thread. I know people here disagree, but I'm with NDSUstudent on the MWC. They are a huge jump up in football and basketball as a WHOLE. Much better programs and much more supported than our MVFC and Summit mates.

    I would love for NDSU to be FBS... But logically, without a conference invite or $$$, we are stuck where we are. And I'm OK with that. For now at least...

    Here is a fresh idea. We get the teams and fans of the teams we beat down, to build the stadium so we will leave
