    Which top-tier FCS teams get two FBS games a year?

    Perhaps we need to change our approach and start offering to pay FBS teams to play us at their place. We've been going about all wrong!

    Honestly, only crappy G5 teams would take that offer.

    And what teams would you like to play? FBS teams won't play us. We cannot even get 1 FBS game every year, let alone 2.

    Just stop at this point. Your refusal to recognize the facts and requirements of college football scheduling is flat out old.

    I am happy that we were able to get a Colonial Athletic Association team to come to Fargo without a return game.

    2021 schedule will finish out with one of the following options:

    1. FBS road game

    2. FCS road game as part of a home and home agreement (my prediction)

    3. Neutral site game in Minneapolis as a one time contract

    4. Extra home game in Fargo

    5. Neutral site game somewhere as part of a 2 game neutral site contract with a FCS "name brand team"

    JMU in Nashville would be awesome.

    The most likely scenario is NDSU paying to bring in a lower level FCS team. Likely candidates would be teams like Drake or St. Thomas.

    At this point in time i'd rather see more competitive/interesting games even if it meant us losing more and not being eligible for a "Championship". In a different thread somewhere was some discussion of the Liberty Schedule as an Indy.... Their schedule is FAR more superior to ours and it isn't close. Sure they won't play for a national championship but their fan base has a lot to be interested in each year.
    Far more superior? Other than Syracuse, Virginia, and BYU what is interesting about it? Oh wait, two games against the same team, a really shitty New Mexico State, one home, and one away? That’s the hook for you, right?

    This is such a silly argument, I remember when the big non-conference game was something called Pittsburgh State and we piss pounded conference foes like Augustana and Mankato. If the schedule isn’t good enough for people now, When was it?

    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
