    Maybe its easier to get noticed by scouts with more FCS games on TV. IMHO, some kids choose FCS hoping to get more playing time instead of riding the pine for 2-3 years on a P5 team because they know scouts will find them if they are good enough to play in the NFL. It seems like every NFL team has at least 1 started on each side of the ball from FCS or lower divisions.
    It's OK to not be OK.

Maybe UND will be more like USD and have mediocre success across the board; make the tourney in womens bball or something, and have a rare fluke win in football against the conference king NDSU. The point is, calm down.
    I got no issues with them joining the Summit League. It's the MVFC I have issues with, the schedule is already screwed up with 10 teams and will only get worse adding another. Sorry but until another team or preferably 2 move on there is no room at the inn.

    Manning up and being afraid to play them statements completely miss the point. You might as well argue that NDSU should have never moved to FCS but remained in D2 so they could man up and prove themselves where they were at...same premise. Them moving MVC won't affect NDSU? I wish you were right but I think you're very much not right. Take any player off the 1990-2003 UND roster and move them to the 1990-2003 Bison roster and you have something more akin to our current situation...an FBS roster that can beat P5 teams

    They will vote to do anything to keep the advancement of costs to a minimum. Fucking Guaranteed. Did it before and they will do it again.

    They are a cancer. USD and SDSU share a friendly rivalry and the state legislature is not biased towards one or the other.

    They won't have that huge wall to look over on the North side of campus. MVFC knocked it down today.

    They just let you in the sand box. You still have to climb the wall.

    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.

    The good thing about it is the legislature won't have a need to pass some crazy law that requires us to play them. Other than that I got nothing.

    Unfortunately they will probably never let us leave them again either. It's imperative NDSU acts before they get that chance.

    If the point is to go FBS so we can leave UND behind again and prevent the legislature from proposing laws mandating we have to play them it will not work. UND will continue to follow and the legislature will remain stupid. These are two immutable laws of nature.
