The odds of then completing a full season is slim, but non conference games are early

NDSU could play a 3 week schedule:

Kansas State @ manhattan ... drive south to Stillwater
Oklahoma State @ stillwater ... drive south to Norman
Oklahoma @ norman.


3 week roadtrip, Quarantined by themselves the entire time. LETS GO!!

Interesting idea.... Although it seems to be forgetting the Student part of "Student Athlete".

Doesn't matter. Big 12 will be cancelling fall football by the end of next week.* Book it.

CUSA and AAC will cancel immediately after.

SEC, ACC, & SBC will cancel within a week of that.



*The next game changer will be the cancellation of all the DI fall championships. That's going to happen by the end of this week or the beginning of next. I believe we're currently at 16 of 32 conferences still technically playing. Word is that the Big Sky will cancel/postpone the rest of their fall sports tomorrow. A bunch of other conferences have scheduled meetings over the next few days where they will probably do the same. At that point, all the fall DI sports will be below the 50% threshold and the championships will be postponed to the spring(at best). Will schools/conferences be able to justify playing fall football when they've postponed every other fall sport? I don't think enough will be willing to accept that much potential liability. Word is that the Big 12 is pretty evenly split right now; I think this will be enough to push some fence-sitters over the edge.

Tryout for FBS?

We can find out how bad these teams really want to play, if they do then schedule NDSU.

I am still doubting that any CFball will happen this year. I think they're just trying to give us hope and kicking the can down the road.

Ol Gene Taylor signed Arkansas State quick.. he wanted NOTHING to do with NDSU.

That was an impossible situation for them. They'd have said Kli/Gene were giving a spoon to their old program and then we'd have beat them (again), embarrassing them in front of an even larger audience. Their fans/donors would have said why fucking do that when we could have played Arkansas State.

So they're playing Arkansas State, whoever the hell that is.
