Run the damn ball!! PRO FBS
NDSU could definitely be more competitive vs Bama, Clemson, Notre Dame than teams like Ole Miss, Pitt, Wake Forest, Louisiana etc.
And I'm sure the players would be up for it. They'll never admit it, but they would much rather get a shot at a top FBS team than just pulvzerize random FCS teams from around the country.
Until G5 Can get into the Playoff, G5 is DII.
P5- DI
G5- DII Until they can get into the playoff.
FCS- DIII
D2-D4
D3- D5
the arguments that we should or shouldnt move up are what they are, but I shake my head when Matt Larsen says we want to be in the 2nd tier... Matt.... We're fricken 3rd tier in reality.
P5 plays for the real championship
G5 plays for their championship- the fiesta bowl (until the playoff expands they are NOT playing for the real championship)
We play for the FCS championship
and so on
Dont let my 3rd tier comment make you think I think NDSU is little league- its not. We'd crack skulls at every level and I'm damn proud of it, but our league is absolutely not 2nd tier.. .its 3rd
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS
People were saying that after 2011/2012
"lets see if you're still thinking about FBS after a few 7-8 win seasons. there NO WAY we will win...say... 6/7 and no F*CKING way we win 7/8 championships in a row or anything absolutely impossible and unprecedented like that" ~paraphrasing of course

Agree, It just humorous that about 90% of the people who were saying "there's no way this success is sustainable, so pump the brakes on FBS" are still saying it today.
Doesnt make FBS a good or bad idea, just makes that particular argument against FBS very silly and wholly obsolete
