    St Thomas should have no problem with an FCS move, a majority of the FCS schools draw very few fans, if they can avg 4K-5K a game they are right in there. As for recruiting they have the Twin Cities, Iowa, Wisc. to pull from and it's a small 'wealthy' school. I see them in five years being a pioneer power.

    It'll be interesting to see how they fare against a team like San Diego that currently dominates the Pioneer League.

    When we played Valpo, we said, this is DI FCS football? In the Pioneer, every game for St Thomas will be, this is DI FCS football? They’ll need to play a few valley teams to better understand the level.

    What's this I see in my crystal ball?
    They will be top half of pioneer immediately.
    They will be top 2 of pioneer by their 2nd year.
    They will take over SanDiego in the 3rd year.
    They will be in the Missouri Valley by year 5.
    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

    Good D3 and Pioneer are very similar. That will not be a huge change for them. Recruiting could be more difficult because all their road but Drake will be a haul for family to see them. It could also become more national. I know Butler has a lot of OOS players. The football transition will be much easier than the other sports.

    Stand your ground, have a tough hide, roam wild and free, have a strong spirit, let the chips fall where they may.
