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

you mess with the ^Bison^ you get the horns
In the ACC, Boston College and Miami currently only have 11 games scheduled in 2021. In the Mountain West, Fresno State only has 11 scheduled for that year.
Why? Maybe not 10,000 but it could be close. The stadium holds about 58,500. The last two years FCS schools drew 47,000 and a bit over 49,000. That’s 9500 to 12,000 tickets potentially available. The caveat is that the Ducks usually play a FCS team the second game of season whereas I believe the Bison are the first game in 2020. The past two years some shit G5 teams have been the first game and those games drew 50 to 51,000 so only 7500 to 8500 tickets available.
A neighbor of mine has a daughter who is a faculty member at OU and her partner is on the university legal team. They have said repeatedly that Duck fans hate FCS games and they refuse to go and support playing shit teams like that. I’m not sure an opponent with nattys will draw those moths to the flame.
