    11th in SEC and 8th in ACC. Is that good or bad? Would we be ok with that if the crack ever was lit in the pipe and we were part of those as well?
    Here's a thought exercise: There is a legitimate argument to be made that 1st in the MAC is pretty nice place to be, and here's why:
    Right now, NDSU would be favored to go undefeated in the MAC. You get 1 FCS opponent (win) maybe a G5 game- AAC or MWC or whatever (likely win) and 1 P5 Game (Pitt, Virginia, Iowa State, OkState, Baylor etc) which is a coin flip game. Honestly a great shot of going either undefeated or 1 loss.

    As undesirable as many would perceive the regular season to be in the MAC - which as bad as it would be, it is still better than MVFC schedule from a competition standpoint (Average team is nearly 35 places higher than MVFC, (96 vs 130) plus you would get another G5 game and a P5 game), The probability of going undefeated in the MAC is pretty damn high. NDSU stacks 1-3 good seasons of zero or one loss years in a row, in the MAC, they would have an actual real life shot at the CURRENT CFP. Of course, When the CFP expands, and it will, that chance grows, by alot.

    Point is this- MAC is not desirable in comparison to MWC in my opinion in terms of the programs, fan bases, and quality of football. However, if anyone believes that the FBS could be good for NDSU, there's an argument to be made that the MAC may offer an quicker path to consistent competitive domination which means a quicker path to NY6 bowl games and even the Playoff than the MWC.
    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

    Id rather play wednesday night on ESPN, watched by 750k viewers against an FBS teams rated 30-100 spots higher than our normal opponents, than play games televised on an app viewed y 100k people against Youngstown state at 230 on saturday, especially if it means we can get annual P5 games, access to NY6 bowl games and maybe even the Playoff.

    I get it, Wednesday night would suck compared to saturday, but the reality would be that NDSU would dominate, dominate early, and consistently. And in that scenario, the benefits of that world far outweigh the shittiness of a handful of wednesday night games each season. Boise got notoriety by dominating their conference and being on ESPN at wacky times. No reason NDSU couldnt carve a niche doing that as well

    again If you believe that NDSU would dominate the MAC, there are serious rewards to dominating a shitty conference consistently, even if you have Wednesday night games. If you piss pound bad opponents on ESPN on a wednesday night in a sold out Fargodome, you are going to get eyeballs and notoriety - just trying to think positively lol

    Win the mac and people are going to be like yeah bro it's the mac enjoy the music city river 2000 bowl or whatever against the 6th best team in the sun belt. then other dipshits would say the mvfc was a stronger conference and those other dipshits would probably not complete dipshits because i can at least see that argument

    i'll take cusa as a stepping stone to get us into the pac-8 or whatever

    Sure Boise State has been in two Fiesta Bowls (only one when it was a New Year's Day game) and the rest are toilet bowls.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    MAC is the better situation for us for recruiting, in spite of the fact that it is a less exciting group of teams.
    Insert something clever here...

    You won't get a sold out Fargodome for a Wednesday night game, imo. You're taking out a good chunk of the fanbase that travels an 1-2 hours+ for home games.

    Yeah bro but playing the University of Southwest Michigan State on a wednesday night after drinking all day and then going to work on Thursday sounds like a perfect way to spend football season
