Matt Entz seems VERY supportive of FBS jump

[SamsRams]

Already asked and answered. Do you need to ask the same question at every interview? Entz has very little to do with it as it's the President and AD that has to be on board.

And the president and AD Have little to do with it since no FBS conference has interest in adding NDSU.

Whether Entz wants to go FBS or not makes no difference. It’s like asking him, “Coach would you like it if every 5 star signed to play at NDSU and would they like the cereal”

well, to be fair, a whole hell of a lot has changed since the last time he addressed it. Like, ALOT has changed. Dont think its silly at all to gauge the coach's temp on the situation after all of the craziness tht has happened.

Honestly what your saying would be like "Joe biden has already answered a question about the situation in afghanistan in July so there is no reason to address it now that we pulled out" uhhhh... well the situation is nothing like it was before so I think its fair game to ask a question

The coaches opinion matters greatly in this situation. Of course he is not the guy signing the contract, but I think his opinion is probably the 3rd most influential in the scenario I'd guess

So John, you know for a fact that C USA has no interest in NDSU? Did Larsen ever ask them? If C USA has no interest in us, then Larsen should come out an publicly state that so we can quit speculating.

Point is duuddde...
.Entz wants FBS, He was advocating FBS games last fall during covid and Jeremy Jorgensen was too but both were shot down.

so yea it is relevant that our head coach wants to be FBS.

Dumb…… why wouldn’t Entz want to move the team to FBS and get paid way more $$$$$!!!!! Why even speculate on it any further

Who says his position is safe if we move up?

In all fairness, you have no idea what other Conferences are thinking. You have no idea how things will shake down once Boise, Colorado State, and San Diego state get offers. As of today, the MWC has no interest in anyone because they haven't lost a team... yet. And C-USA has been oddly quiet other than Liberty.

If CUSA is talking about Liberty that is a clear indicator they are in desperation mode. Liberty tried to back up their Brinks truck 4 years ago and CUSA told them to pound sand.

You're right. Liberty offered C-USA something like 30 times their normal entrance fee last time and they said no. I think some ego's were bruised.

Went out this morning, turned on ESPNU on the radio, and Coach Matt Entz was in the middle of an interview.

Most of what I caught was the ESPN guys asking about going FBS or playing FBS. Entz said, "We'd like to schedule more G5s because we recruit against them" (paraphrasing.) One of the interviews replied, "Why not P5s, you've beat so many of them" (again with the paraphrasing) and he listed several of the games. Entz basically said that's why I didn't mention them - the ones in our recruiting area won't schedule us (he was pretty diplomatic about it.)
