It's OK to not be OK.
I'm not so sure of that. NDSU wins FBS games already, we would just need more players for depth, etc.
The "growing pains" of moving NDSU to somewhere like MWC would likely be a whole lot less than the pain of rebuilding a losing FBS program, which are typically the schools looking to take a chance with an FCS head coach. The successful ones either aren't looking for a new coach, or are looking to reload with a successful FBS coach. Success breeds more success, and a failed program is very hard to turn around.
Well aware.....thank you.
It was more so insinuating that a coach would be more likely to explore other options at a higher level/move to a different area, when they no longer have younger/school age children factoring in. Maybe my assumption is off base, but just my two cents.
You're correct, sorry I should've elaborated. I meant it more from a retooling staff, I assume scholarships are going to be an issue since FBS doesn't allow partials anymore, not sure if academic standards are different, scheduling, etc. Administratively there would be a lot more than we or the average fan probably thinks about. Yeah from a level of play standpoint we're already good to lock and load with those guys.
