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
Nice summary. There really isn't an answer to the conference question. Some people think that pointing this out is anti-FBS, but it is not.
I also think that we really need to raise the level of the MBB program and the university as a whole because those are good goals regardless of whether NDSU goes FBS or not - it's just a bonus that accomplishing them would make NDSU more attractive to FBS conferences. I mean, if you are the Mountain West looking to add a school and you have to choose from SDSU and NDSU, who do you choose: SDSU with their distinct basketball edge or NDSU with the ability to dominate the football conference?
Some people think that process of going FBS looks like this:
1. Make a lot of noise about going FBS (Let's have a pep rally!)
2. Cold call FBS conferences
3. ????
4. Profit.
We are more suited for the NFC north

IMO - I like going to Playoff games, I like winning championships and proving who is #1.
I do not like a football season ending after a conference game only to wait three to four weeks to play in some no-name bowl game for some gaudy crystal trophy most people will forget after two weeks. Winning a No-Name Bowl is a lot less impressive than battling for the National title trophy....which sounds better, 2017 National Champions OR Winner of the 2017 Tostitos Crunch Bowl
Difference between FCS Champion and the FBS Champion - FCS plays for pride and trophies....FBS plays for bowl money; FCS has an undisputed Champion...FBS Champion is picked by sports writers and open for dispute. Would be fun to see a Georgia Team travel to Michigan or Ohio in Dec for a play-off game.....cold and snow suck to play in.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

This kind of explains it.
However, if ndsu could fill the dome at double the current ticket price wouldn't that take the new stadium argument out of the picture?

It would be nice if fake posters tried a little harder. I mean c'mon...at least form a committee or something...
