    If a move to the FBS was announced, my yearly donation would increase substantially.

    We are already one of the best resourced FCS programs, and I think to myself "I don't need to donate more. Is it going to make us a better FCS program than we already are. If so, who cares?" We've already been king turds of the shit pile for a decade.

    My donation would increase also; if the FCS shit pile height rises from 10 ft. to 15ft in a few years; it will just stink worse than it already does.

    About time you step up! I think many fans are coming around and it's time we let NDSU know we want more actions taken to get this done as soon as possible.

    Can't agree more! Has anyone at NDSU researched the willingness for donations to increase if move to FBS made? Tired of the status quo and excuses. Too easy for current leaders to think small and do nothing.

    I'm fully with Dave on this. The pandemic really, really opened my eyes to just how crappy FCS as a whole, is. Yes, I kind of knew it, but my God, you are so stupid you don't even fight to play football in the fall over testing? Seriously, if NDSU said "hey, we want to play this fall, but we need folks to pony up to pay for it" the friggin' money train would have rolled in. How many other FCS school could even think of doing that?

    Further, to play in Spring, you have put all your chips in the vaccine basket. What if a vaccine does not hit? You are going to be able to pay for testing then?

    If you believe the CDC...and that is a fairly big if, the vaccine won't be widely available until late 2nd quarter 2021...which pretty much means spring football is basically as big a risk as fall football.

    But now Redfield states that masks are more of a protection than a vaccine.
