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.
