    I want NDSU to go FBS. I’m sure the powers that be in the SHAC want that ad well. The problem is its not as simple as wanting to. Nothing can be done without a conference invite. Going independent cant and will never happen. It would kill the program. Unless you like all road games and the occasional fcs home game. Without an invite FBS wont happen. I hope that invite comes. I am sure the administration is doing all they can to prepare

    everyone understands this, biggest issue is the Admin if they really really wanted should make it public they are interested. Now before you go all HOW DO WE KNOW THEY HAVENT INTERNALLY...the reason you make it public is to stir up the donor base and feel out what money is out there.

    This is true. At my extremely small, and fiscally conservative Alma Mater, theyre building an indoor facility- not at all unlike the new IPF. They DO NOT have 30$M laying around. They purposefully started floating the idea of starting a football team and leaked pictures of the facility to generate interest, and WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT??? It WORKED. Its so strange, they told people that it was their intention to build ______ and that they would need ______$ before it was even considered, and then people started calling THEM to donate money. They just announced that their funding goal was reached after only being in the "public" fundraising phase for less than 12 months.

    What they thought was outlandish 24 months ago from a fundraising perspective, was accomplished in literally 8 months of going public with their intentions.

    Now to be completely fair, it is POSSIBLE they are being aggressive behind the scenes. But I highly doubt that. Practically every school in the nation has either publicly declared their intentions, or have done so behind close doors- and all of those "behind closed doors" rumors/rumblings have been leaked to the Athletic, ESPN etc.

    We havent heard a f*cking peep regarding NDSU, publicly, or in the way of leaks either.

    I used to believe that our ADept had a plan back with GT, and now I am certain the reason there is silence on this issue is that they're ignorant, incompetent, unambitious, uninteresting and pathetic yes-men who would gleefully live a safe, boring life without risk than live a life where you push your self to be better every single day and risk getting calloused hands. theyre a bunch of 9-5 employees who would never consider being a business owner because its just too hard and might get hurt feelings if things get tough.

    Theyre the athletic version of a career politician- Wear the right color shirts, kiss babies, and then never do anything of meaning or consequence or value so you can continue to win elections every 2 years, keep your cushy job and pat yourself on the back while the true needs of your constituents are being ignored completely. Absolutely pathetic
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    Maybe we need an "FBS Talk" board similar to the political board, just so we can isolate the never ending FBS circle jerk talk....

    McFooley, love him or hate him, has had quite a bit to say in favor of NDSU moving up in the past few months. He'd be the perfect deep throat.

    MWC loses 4 teams. Both Montana's, NDSU and little brother to MWC.

    That's my prediction.

    I intend to will it into being through Masonic meme magic.
