Scrooge-"Are there no prisons?". "Plenty of prisons..."
Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."

NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
[QUOTE=Grizzled;1442450]For 10 million there would be a line of FBS and FCS schools. Lol.
Plus, a FBS school isn’t paying 10 million to potentially get beat.[/QUOTE
Did I say 10 mill? No...….you're the one tossing around numbers. I'm saying NDSU may be in a position to negotiate a better deal than the norm...….what's the norm? 600K vs Oregon?
Stand your ground, have a tough hide, roam wild and free, have a strong spirit, let the chips fall where they may.
dangit Big 10 kevin warren scolds Nebraska. that's not gonna help our scenario
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Isn’t the biggest value of being in a conference:
1. Playing games (consistent rivalries etc)?
2. Getting a nice contract on tv group negotiated and shared revenue to prop all up) for playing those games?
If the conference is not allowing the games, not sure how tv payout will look... or any other additional revenue from conference games vs. independent.
But the finger wagging is another nice benefit.
