We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
You walked into a hornet's nest that is the FBS discussion on Bisonville. It's been going on for years and has only gotten more divided and more intense. you're just unlucky enough to touch on the one topic that I think everyone is so tired of talking about yet can't stop needing their opinion to be heard. So in the end you get endless attacks even against the innocent.

I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

I'm not against an FBS move. I am against burning the bridge we're standing on.
I've never seen a list of steps NDSU should take to go FBS that makes any sense because they all seem to be predicated on the idea that the only thing keeping NDSU out of the Mountain West is that Matt Larsen hasn't called them enough.
I've only been on BV for four years or so, and I don't post as often as others. But for the past couple of years, I have been pretty animated about two themes: pro-FBS and anti-basketball-sucking-under- Richman. It got me wondering if these two things go hand in hand. Are the people who get tired of talking about FBS the same people who get tired of the complaining about basketball? Conversely, are the people who want to go FBS the same people who are unhappy with where basketball is at? It kind of has the same feel in the intensity of the debate.
I'm wondering if pro-Richman and pro-FCS are the same people, i.e. pro-status quo. I honestly don't know, and don't feel like going through year old posts and looking people's posts up. These may well be two distinct issues where some of us are divided on football but united in our outlook on basketball, or vise versa. But it would be interesting if it turns out that it breaks down as status quo vs. moving forward. Or, if you're in the status quo camp, you might characterize it as realism vs. useless pipe dreaming.
I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Has very little to do with how good the football team is and much more to do with the overall University, dollars needed to be spent, graduate programs offered to get into a conference that would make sense geographically ie B10 B12. They don't want us cause academically we are laughable compared to them from programs, research, money
