NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
The 80's championship games were definitely on the tube - I watched them all as a younger kid. We had cable, but we only got MTV, WGN, TBS and one or two other lame channels. I'm almost certain we had to have been on nationwide network TV for those 5 games.
Wouldn't it have only been state wide ABC/NBC/CBS affiliates. Similar to how NBC affiliates shows NDSU statewide now.
They're talking that anyone nationwide tuning into ABC is going to get the game unless preempted by something locally. Pretty sure that wouldn't have been the case for 80s Div II games? I'm almost a bit too young to remember much of those years.

The championship games in late 60s were on national television.
533 In a row
After thinking about this a little more I can say the TV announcers were definitely not local guys. Unfortunately they called us the 'Bissson'. Every. Stinking. Year. I yelled at the TV every time...
So were all four College Division bowl games on national TV since the champion wasn't selected until after the bowl games were played? If so, the Bison would have a few other games that were nationally broadcast. (Unless I misunderstood how the College Division worked).

Looks and laughs upon it all!
