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
Is anyone really safe at the FCS level? Not according to this little write up I saw over the weekend about the college football coaching changes, specifically Joe Moorhead.

Joe Moorhead Dan Mullen (Florida) The Bulldogs moved quickly after losing Dan Mullen to Florida and made a fantastic hire of their own in Joe Moorhead. Moorhead was the brain behind Penn State's explosive offense the last two years and build Fordham into an FCS power. He should be able to maintain what Mullen started in Starkville. Grade: A
In what alternate universe is Fordham considered a FCS power? Can you define power? Winning the conference? In talks of winning a national title? How many more FCS programs are ahead of Fordham if they are now considered a Power? Maybe the writer didn't have much on him and was reaching for anything that sounded good, but in normal conversation I don't think Fordham comes to mind as a contender for most.
I think Fordham won some FBS games though, right? Maybe that's what they're considering. Plus I think it is fair that if a team makes the playoffs it can be considered a power.
Validated: yeah, they beat Army in 2015 and Temple in 2013, and made the playoffs multiple years in a row. Those were good teams.

JMU board is feverishly trying to convince themselves that Mike Houston won't jump for a FBS job.
Some even trying to see if they can get him $1 million a year.
