    Give me a G5 that has been overly competitive with P5 schools in last 8 years.

    recruiting against UNI and SDSU? We will be recruiting against the Big 10. If we are going to still be recruiting against UNI we may as well stay where we are at.

    So you need to ask the question would they rather come to Fargo or South Bend? East Lansing, Iowa City etc etc etc. Same questions the walk on and PWO ask now and we get a couple because they may get more money at NDSU and a chance to be on a championship team. But now that we are in the bigs we cant play that game with top recruits. Plus the allure of playing for a National Championship wont be in the cards for a very long time.
    Pat, I disagree with this. We wouldn't be going against Notre Dame or Mich State for players. We would be going against teams like K State, I State, Wyoming 4/5 star kids don't go to NDSU. Plus we would/should have the pick of kids in Wisconsin/MInnesota/Iowa/Nebraska that don't go Big 10 or Big 12. You can develop and win a lot of games with those kids. IMO we could easily become a top 25 program. That should be our goal Maybe catching lightning in a bottle every 5-10 years and play in a big bowl game. Before anything though we would need a bigger stadium.

    This started with is there Bison Fatigue. I believe there is. I don't see as many tailgaters. Don't see as many fans in the stands. Crowd isn't into the games like they used to be. Why? Because a lot of people have grown tired with the domination. I know that sounds crazy but true. I have talked with a LOT of people and they want us to play against the big boys(better team) They are tired of beating up on most teams we play.

    we are better than almost all of the G5 schools and we only have 65 scholarships and we are recruiting with the FCS label. Imagine what we could do with FBS and 85 full scholarships?

    63 scholarships that is spread among (up to) 85 players. If/when NDSU moves up, the number of scholarship players will be the same, but the difference is that no players will be on partial scholarships.

    Right everyone would get a full scholarship. I have to imagine that we have lost out on recruits because we were only able to offer say a 25-50% scholarship where they could get a full someplace else and that includes G5 FBS schools.

    We would obviously be getting higher level recruits. Cant comprehend how we would somehow magically get WORSE recruits?

    Championships are a byproduct of a championship level program. People come here for the Championship work ethic, the championship mindset, the championship atmosphere, the championship level media attention, - all of which result in extremely high quality football and an EXCELLENT chance of getting a shot in the NFL.

    Those dont go away if we go G5.

    If the only reason we have good players is the ability to win championships, wouldnt we be winning recruiting battles with virtually every P5 sans Clemson and Alabama? If wining championships is so alluring (even at a lower level)why aren't the gophers losing recruits to St thomas, or Mount Union, or Mankato state? Why dont we pluck half of gopher recruits.

    Can we all agree that the LEVEL of football carries a ton of weight for a ton of excellent football players? or are we just going to continue ignoring reality?
    Championships are a byproduct of a championship level program. The championships themselves arent the reason we are an attractive program.
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS
