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.

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.
