You didn't say they didn't have major corporate sponsors, you said they had "boring" ones. Regardless, nothing says lit like the Realtruck.com red zone at Gate City Bank Field in a city owned stadium called the Fargodome.
Notre Dame Stadium
DKR Stadium
Ohio Stadium
Michigan Stadium

Hail the BISON!!!
If I make it to other G5 schools, I take pictures there to prove my point. Unfortunately, we don't have many major events at G5 schools.
Next week, I'm back Lincoln, NE, and we already know what kind of FU money they have due to being a P5 school. After that, I'll be in Fargo, which from what I've seen, attracts just as good, if not better, sponsorships than G5/Mid-Major schools I've seen.
If you go back and read what I wrote about the conversation I had with an Akron official a few days ago in regards to G5 schools are starting to struggle to get money games from P5, there really is no reason to move up, unless you think watching the Bison play in the "Motor City Bowl" or the "Famous Idaho Potato Bowl" are super-cool.
Hail the BISON!!!
Of course Chrissy boy nobody on this message board should want to move up to G5 just because you say so. Stagnation is wonderful. No growth in stadium capacity for the foreseeable future. No growth in tailgating, in fact if the convention center is built next to the Fargodome the tailgating area will be reduced. Seems the good old boys in charge have no balls to grow the program. Just want to ride the crest until the wave crashes.
Schedule West Point or Navy. Might not get a home and home...but Annapolis on a Saturday for football is pretty darn special.
IF we are 10000% stuck in the FCS (which the folks around here without balls are leaning towards)
then for god's sakes, get 2 FBS teams a year & 1 bigger fcs team. each year, every year.
Worse case we go 1-2 and then roll thru the MVFC at 7-1 or 6-2 and get in the playoffs at 7-4.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
