NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
What makes you think the options haven't been thoroughly researched? Just because you disagree with where you think the administration currently stands on this doesn't mean they haven't put the work in and considered all options. IMO, it's incredibly likely that leadership has looked at the all available information and determined that a 14,000 student university with a $140 million endowment, a $20 million athletic budget, a ridiculously successful football program, and some pretty severe geographic and state budget limitations is right where it needs to be in the current climate of college athletics.
Or do you just mean "somebody who can make the decision that I want them to make?" The pro-FBS crowd has some very valid reasons for their opinions, the we-can't-afford-it crowd has some very valid concerns that would largely go away if we had the money. The administration has to base their decisions on facts, cost, and relative risk to the long-term health of the university, not fan sentiment or opinions on what's best for NDSU.
