FBS move fans. Here's a good read

[JSUBison]

There are two bridges to cross before this debate has any merit. If these two needs get addressed, the move up could be considered. It would make more sense to be working at resolving these needs than arguing.

1: Get a conference invite for all sports lined up.



2: Show me the money.





Right now, I don't oppose moving. I don't support moving. I simply want the proponents to provide a business case rather than attempting to spend other people's money. Carry on.

That last sentence is dead on. They never address the money issue. It's always NDSU should move up, better exposure, ratings, Boise, #maction.... It's all ego driven, the old keeping up with the Jones' because they just got a new caddy. They want NDSU to move up based on pure emotions, and will not even address the facts and realities of the situation. Just do it, is their slogan. We don't have a Ralph E, oil money isn't going to magically appear one day, the state isn't going to pull a 180 and dump millions into NDSU, FM doubling in size won't net us a bunch of millionaire boosters. Jesus... If the younger crowd, (and that's who it seems to be pushing this the most) wants to move up, they need to go out, make their millions, and then get back to us, lol. The fact is WE AINT GOT MONEY SO WE AINT DOIN SHIT AS FAR AS FBS! I do agree with some of the posters wanting to move up that the stadium issue is a big key in this whole thing. Right now a home game against Ferris State would draw the same amount of fans as a home game with Nebraska. A 2-1 with Minnesota would bring in less gate than 3 home tomato cans.

Funny that you talk about a guy running the numbers (finances), who is not even a teamaker or that can be proven even donates to the school.

your homeboy got treated like dogcrap so why would he until the leadership is gone? I agree with longhorn lakes endzone heckler that fbs should happen asap the stadium can stay 20-22000 make it hard to get a ticket creating crazy demand. mountain west for the best hit me up for a weekend in reno san diego ft collins hell yeah

No matter how shitty he was treated that's a lame excuse. The team is bigger than a few people. Not sure how bad leadership can be given we are already D1 in every other program and are a top 25 football team. Time to put your money where the mouth is.

When the MWC invites NDSU we will have something to talk about. Seriously, why would the MWC incite NDSU? Fargo is way outside their geographic footprint. We don't bring a significant TV market. We don't have a big or expandable football stadium. We don't bring a region brimming with recruits for new conference mates to mine. We don't play basketball on their level. NDSU is a peer institution with MWC schools on several levels--but they don't care. They don't care that are fans would love to road trip to San Diego. Why should that? This is a club that we have to be invited to join.

I think we will be more attractive once we get our name out there and are viewed as commonly known program. Were slowly getting there. But we need to actually make some noise in basketball for that to happen like a signature win in the Big Dance. A more realistic path is the MVC or Horizon and/or the MAC. But these National Championship runs are doing wonders for getting our name out there. ESPN game day too. And what's been encouraging is we have shown solid ratings. Our reputation for a traveling fan base is VERY appealing but need that to extend to basketball

He couldnt drive ANY traffic to his message board(which is shut down) so how the hell is he going to raise 5 million? You and his rump buddies didnt even support his website? So you going to come up with 5 mil?

Quit being a troll.

What ever happened to lakes was brought on by lakes and his poor behavior. He was treated appropriately.
