Looks like we are trying to set up a 2018 FBS game, which is a relief. Any thoughts regarding if this will happen, and if so who would schedule us? Maybe some S-E-C! S-E-C! chants a la Mizzou?

A SEC team would be nice. Not sure if Mizzou is ready to schedule and pay a tough OOC to come to Columbia, MO, with all the crap the team has went through the past few years. Outside of Tennessee (and Mizzou), I'm not sure if any other SEC team has paid a Northern FCS team to come play them.

The best chance for a P5 game will be the PAC-12 due to the number of DI schools being less in the West.

What a fucking joke. What they need to do is grow some balls and close down Mayville State, Valley City State and Dickinson State. Make Minot the teacher college and invest the cost savings in UND and NDSU.

Missouri already has their FCS games scheduled for the next 3 years. In fact, a good portion of the SEC has been scheduling their FCS games with the SoCon for a while now. I don't know if that's an agreement between conferences or what though. For example, Alabama is playing SoCon schools for at least the next two years. You would think the Pac 12 would be the best shot, but the entire conference's schedule is full except for Stanford's in 2018 and it doesn't look like they play FCS schools.

It's actually the other way around. UND and NDSU simply had to have a teachers' program to duplicate Mayville, Vally, Minot, and Dickinson. Those programs should be shut down at NDSU & UND. The facilities are already in place at the smaller campuses...places that have proven to run very efficiently, saving students a lot of money.

If that were the case would we have had a certain #11 or #16 (I thought I heard they were both just student teaching away from being finished) on the roster at QB among others?

Admittedly reading between the lines here with green & gold glasses on, but if "hoping" to get another FBS game scheduled in 2018 means he's actually in talks with someone..................that could also very well mean that he has that 6th home game in 2018 already "on the hook" and "almost landed". Which would be nice.

I'm guessing it would probably be a single home game because of the Delaware Home/Home already booked for 2018. Having another home/home with the 1st game at the Dome, would potentially require a 2nd return away game in 2018 (although the return could be later). Either way, I think knowing what your good options are in either of those two categories, allows you to pursue a 2018 FBS game, at this "late" stage, with a little more vigor.

Does not the SEC schedule their FCS games late in the year when we are in conference play?
