    So you're saying we need to start a campaign to get one of those teams into another conference?

    Let us know what the athletic director says has been done in regards to begging FBS conferences to take us.
    Let me paraphrase his response: "We like were we are at right now and feel NDSU is in the best division for NDSU."

    I know I wait for the playoffs to take my son to the games without relying on season ticket holders to help me out. That place would be full every playoff games with the right communications.
    I run across this from time to time. I often wonder how many of those that are shocked there are tickets out there would actually buy them. I think people like the idea of NDSU being so popular and so good hat no one can get tickets. That mentality spreads throughout the community and it's fun to talk about in social circles but anyone that really wanted to go to a game would already know they are available for face value every single week.

    True, but how many conference invites did we have when we moved from D2 to D1AA?
    Go Bison.

    NDSU's website was a little wacky last week though. I checked right away when they became available and it said nothing available. I checked later and the best that I could get was Section 12 at the top.

    We don't have season tickets but have missed very few games and none to not being able to get tickets. NDSU's playoff ticket selling changes every year though. I wish they would communicate more with what they will be selling. Some years they release the south end zone immediately and sometimes they don't. It is really frustrating how inconsistent it is, especially we've had playoff home games now for a few years. I would think it's a well oiled machine by now but it changes every year.

    I think they also rely on the media making mention of it during their sports portion of the nightly news. Who watches that anymore? And without detail simply saying "There are still tickets available for Saturday's game" doesn't drive anyone to buy.

    When you are Class B your goal is to someday compete with and beat Class A, If you aren't moving forward your dying.

    P5 and G5 are still both considered Division 1 or FBS if you prefer.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
