Thanks! Another stat that proves NDSU is overdue to make a move to FBS.

Why does every thread on here have to moving to the FBS. NDSU could win 100 playoff games by 50 points and that has no bearing on an FBS move. I mean, Coastal Carolina wasn’t exactly an FCS powerhouse and they moved up. Why? For the same reason every team can and does. Conference affiliation and money.

Dont be stupid---quit that talk---competition wise we could compete from 40-100 ranked teams I think---but need about estimate $100 million more
in athletic budget for all programs to move up.......

Need to at least double budget... where does that money come from.... if teammakers doubled up there would still be a additional 15-20 million needed

Mountain West TV money and College Football Playoff money & Big Dance money (Nevada this year) = $10 Million more easily. puts NDSU at $28 mil same at Wyoming. plus bigger sponsorships, Student Fees (they pay next to nothing right now) it can easily be done.

the Stagnation is here, the Plateau is here. what else is there to accomplish at this level?? what happened to "Bring on the Competition?"

i know you all hate when a few of us scream it out loud, hell Mike Mcfooly wrote an article about mountain west specifically to address me which is flattering and tells me that my voice is being heard.

NDSU needs to Call & solicit them. Hell EMU just had to cut Millions and may drop football, does that open up a MAC spot for NDSU?


I was just replying to squash the LIE that it's "$100 million more" thats hilarious. move this to FBS thread, that's cool.

But in last year or 2, I've seen Apathy in NDSU fanbase... all of the D1 Movement guys are in the 40's, 50's now like most of us year, the young'in's aren't excited about fcs , they've been there, done that. We need some BUZZ & excitement at NDSU for this university to grow.

Sorry.

How would other teams move up when football is the only sport with subdivisions?

Because if we went FBS, we would likely switch conferences to a G5. In order to not be a bottom feeder in everything but football, we would have to raise our coaching salaries to at least compete for coaches in the same class as our new conference-mates. And it's not just head coaches' salaries. One reason Bison FB is successful is that we pay our assistant coaches way more than the FCS average. Or even the MVFC average. That allows us to keep coaching continuity, which keeps the program strong. Doing the same for our assistant coaches' salaries in a G5 conference would require a whole lotta extra green.

NDSU has 14 head coaches, 43 assistant coaches or directors of operations, 4 S&C coaches, and 7 paid sports medicine staff. And the number of assistant coaches would probably need to go up in a G5 conference, since I don't think we are maxed out in all sports.

And that still doesn't take into account likely higher travel and recruiting costs.

Thats the most important stat.

They can talk all they want about how good we are etc etc etc. But if there isnt a conference that thinks NDSUs academics makes it a good fit and we dont have the MONEY. All the talk is nothing more than mental masturbation.
