    I just don't know why ANY FBS team would be willing to play a neutral site game against NDSU. Any of the big boys have zero need/reason to do so. So that means G5 and the like. They have to know they would get beat. Why would you be willing to put the spotlight(neutral site with an FCS, especially NDSU) on a loss to a "lesser" team? Even if it's a MAC school that needs money and we can give them a guarantee, is it really worth it? They can go get killed by a P5 and still get paid and no one blinks an eye at the result.

    Agreed, I think even the least prestigious G5 teams would have egos too big to agree to even a neutral site game with a "lowly FCS school".

    Funny you say that because there were some UND fans who threw shit fits on AGS when Kolpack said something along the lines of 2018 NDSU was closer to Alabama than they were to UND.

    Big egos and scared shitless. Hell most P5's are too. Better get some more P5's scheduled before we beat down Oregon, Arizona and Colorado.

    Why would a P5 or G5 team agree to a game where they know 35,000 Bison fans are going to show up and youve got a pretty good chance of getting your ass beat. There is nothing in that scenario they want any part of.

    MAC, Mountain West, Big 10 and Big 12 are done with us. Won’t be long until the PAC 12 is too. The problem with the rest of the FBS teams is that they’ve got dozens of FCS teams closer than us.

    Gotta get USC on the schedule now that they popped their FCS cherry.

    Lots of good logic here......

    So, to me, the only reason to ever do Target field again would be a for a premier FCS match up. Let's face it; the only FCS team that would "turn the dial" to make it interesting would be JMU. But, I'd rather do a home and home with them if they were willing.

    Also heard that the Florida State AD seemed receptive to a game until he talked to his head coach.

    Let's assume that this quote were to come to fruition. AFter the next 3 FBS games the Pac12 wants nothing to do with us... Then what?


    G5? Nope
    Big 10? Nope
    Big 12? Nope
    MWC? Nope
    MAC? Nope

    The only conference left is the SEC which has no need to fly in NDSU when they have 100 teams closer with less chance of a loss.

    If the money games are gone, what becomes of NDSU's funding? That money is pretty important i'd think, so how could we replace it?
