the FCS is the 3rd tier... ita very much d2 caliber now that 5 fcs programs have jumped to fbs in last few years.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
I'm looking around FCS and not seeing U of Mary, Crookston, Minot, Duluth, Northern State, SW Minnesota, Winona, Upper Iowa, or any of the type of newcomers in our region that made leaving D2 inevitable.
The schools in our region that are in DI are exactly the ones NDSU wanted to go DI with NDSU in the first place.
I am actually looking for folks to seriously compare the two not make arguments about jumping or who should jump etc.
I would also add that the exposure for the University and Community is greater at the FCS level as well.
I asked the question to get a feeling of what people think are the diff., not start a FBS/FCS/DII debate. It seems that the only real difference is the $$$$$ involved and all that comes with that...a higher quality product. The teams that we play now compared to the teams that we used to play are a wash.
I would argue the biggest advantage has been the marketing of NDSU to a broader audience.
