A new and better FBS thread

[56BISON73]

If we by chance beat Oregon next season there is nothing that anyone would say to me that would convince me that we don't belong in FBS. Nothing. You beat a team like #13 Iowa by out Iowaing Iowa and beat a probable top 10 in Oregon with as much of a brand Oregon has along with resources and money, facilities and prestige, I would be absolutely pissed if the NDSU administration doesn't hold a meeting with Matt Larson slapping down some papers on the table in front of everyone involved with FBS on the top one with a big ? and his opening line is "How do we make this happen?"

Then the Big boys say----you dont. And then what?

Who are the Big boys? Administration?

That's what the rest of my post was saying. If it does or doesn't happen none of us will know about it so that millisecond of me being pissed will be overcome with joy for the win over Oregon. But will subconsciously know they didn't hold such a meeting and on goes life and threads such as this.

23bison NDSU has far and away shown they belong in FBS for at least 4-5 years now. win at #11 Iowa cemented what was already shown at Kansas State, Iowa State, Minnesota etc.

Media market doesn't matter by the G5 groups like we are led to believe. yea at the P5 level its all about eyeballs/population etc.

2 things are happening the last few years. #1 NDSU ADMIN HAS NOT ACTIVELY SOUGHT FBS CONFERENCE INVITES & #2 MWC/MAC deep down doesn't want NDSU walking in Day 1 and being at the top.

Sadly it will be closed door and nobody will know about it. I guess I'll be running around like a little girl bragging how NDSU beat Oregon.

It doesn't take beating Oregon to prove to me that the Bison, competitively speaking, belong in the G5. I'm already convinced that that is true. There's a lot more that goes into making an FBS move than slapping papers down on a table.

Admin hasn't actively sought invites because they don't want to move up...Bresciani has been very clear about that, over and over...

I would say it is more "can't afford" than "don't want".

That’s where the conversation would start. But yes I do know this.

I think the conversation has to start with the school/state and the student body. Those 2 (or 3) entities need to be behind it for an FBS move to be successful. G5 athletic budgets are funded on the backs of school funds and student fees. That's just the reality and NDSU would be no different.

Either way, until that changes there won’t be any conversation...

The legislature and vast majority of the students do not care about your football team. This is not a new situation. End shamaturism and let them play for the people who are actually interested.
