that seven different schools that have one one in the last 11 years

11 different schools have won titles this century, and UU and UCF have been in position to claim split titles as well. Multiple other teams have appeared in the championship game.

It depends how you slice it. In the FCS in last 7 years, there have been two schools winning it all. In the FBS there have been 4, but Alabama has won 4 of 7. As far as UCF goes I still don't buy it. The only poll that I could find that rated them higher than Alabama was the Colley Matrix by .006349th of a point. Not much of a claim.

I, personally, am convinced that NDSU can win the big one.

I agree with you... I am convinced that "Bison Football Culture" would make them champions at any level... I do caveat that with saying we would need the 22 additional scholarships though. I understand that many may find find my beliefs completely delusional -- but its a free country

Ok... I might have got a little crazy there!

Honestly the more schools that do that, the better it is for NDSU at this level. Why? Cost-of-Attendance is certainly a competitive advantage for those who offer it. If only a few do, I could see the voting body of FCS saying, "Hey we need to level the playing field!" Now, in today's environment, I doubt they would take cost-of-attendance away as there is already too much buzz around should athletes be paid.... But they could say "we should reduce scholarships so we can move money from the scholarship bucket to the cost of attendance bucket". Not saying it will happen, but worth thinking about.

(I also think the day is coming where the Big 5 say "85 scholarships! Ha! We want 100!" and vote to increase the number of scholarships they can offer. Granted there are some title 9 things to figure out, but I would think almost all the big schools could afford more scholarships.)

I think you got that back asswards. This would be like D2 reducing scholarships to pull NDSU down to their level. If this happens NDSU needs to learn from history and GTFO of the FCS.
