Wake up Bison Nation!

My opinion as an NDSU "fan". A move up to ANY FBS conference would be awesome in every way. If we kept doing what we are doing in say, the MAC, the ceiling could be where western Mich was a couple years ago. Cotton Bowl vs Wisco at cowboys stadium. Or we could be UCF vs Auburn in a Jan 1 bowl. It's not even an argument as a "fan" in my opinion.

I wonder if Alabama thinks they're becoming stagnant? Nowhere else to go and all?

That’s a damn fine question right there. Games I have watched they seemed to have plenty of highly engaged fans in those stands...

I also think its a legit debate if life in a G5 conference represents "an elevated national brand". Granted, a lot of that has to do with the success of Carson Wentz, but I would argue in today's world NDSU has a much more recognizable brand than most G5 schools.

You're right - NDSU has a bigger brand than many G5 schools- I'm not arguing that EVERY G5 school has a bigger brand- because they don't.

I'm saying that our already large brand wouldn't get smaller going G5, it would get larger.

Do you think AppStates and GSU's brand has been elevated since moving up? The answer is an emphatic yes. doesn't mean we have the resources to move up or that it makes it a smart decision, but I think the evidence is there that if we moved up we would likely benefit by dropping the false "DII" perception

Fresno won the Mountain West and plays Arizona State in the Las Vegas Bowl. I'd go to that and lose my ass in the casinos.
Boise lost the Mountain West title game and plays Boston College in Dallas, TX at the First Responders Bowl. We are used to going to Texas anyway. Just saying.

Bama could pull the upset on that group of little girls from Green Bay

We have far more in common with Montana than Fresno State.

Oh heck no. Fresno is just like Grand Forks.

Oh heck no. Fresno is just like Grand Forks.

They have 10k more students than NDSU and a 50% larger athletic budget.
