NDSU to CUSA

[Bison 4 Life]

No no no ProfBum.... if we just WAIT THIS OUT, the Big 10 will definitely be calling us soon. Its only a matter of time if we go now, we could maybe go Cusa, and someday go MWC in 5 years or so

BUT...

If we wait 25 years, we can go MWC, if we wait 40 years, we can get Big 12, 50 years B1G, 75 years SEC... But if we wait one BILLION YEARS we're going to get invited to the NFC north.

I mean, I'm all in for moving up, but only under the right circumstances

How about ANY FUCKING CONFERENCE offering an invite. CUSA got broke ass Jacksonville State, that's how desperate they were and they didn't even LOOK our way.

This is all jerking off into the mirror until anything like that happens.

Sammy ain't exactly "making it rain" with cash either.

C-USA wanted all-sport members. That right there says they're looking for things in footprint (to save minor sport travel costs).

How about the guy pictured your avatar, or his AD, go ask CUSA for one?

I'm 99% convinced that Dean knew he was done for 5 years and couldn't be bothered by any of this and the Stony Brook AD doesn't want to upset the coattail ride.

which in turn breeds more bison fatigue.

Any REAL data/evidence to support that supposition? Without it, it is just noise. I'll hang up and take your answer off-air.

They have gotten fat and happy riding the wave of success that Chapman and GT started, I think they all thought this was much further down the road.

To GT's credit he talked about this being a potential scenario before he left.

NDSU has done a great job of not being complacent on the field, maybe not so great in the "front office" you're saying?

On Sam Houston’s press conference, president Alisa White says the WAC’s hopes to become an FBS conference may not happen because of a coming solidification of FBS with NCAA governance changes, so Sam Houston had to make this C-USA move now.

hate to break it to you but if/when the MWC calls, NDSU will NOT be the first choice. Too many other options that are ACTUALLY FBS. If we're waiting for them we might as well settle in for a LONG FCS ride.

NDSU would be considered but are probably #5 on the list; UTEP, NMSU,Montana, Montana St, UC Davis may be higher up on the list. NDSU needs to built its own FBS coalition if they want to move to FBS

Reportedly, a lot of SHSU fans think the jump is a bad idea. But some FCS presidents have enough vision and aspiration for their school's athletic program that they can read the landscape and find a way to make the jump, rather than be locked out in the coming "solidification of FBS with NCAA governance changes."
