As much as we all respect Patty V. I argue that NDSU sets the tone for the MVFC and ultimately the FCS.
The whole cluster is based on nobody taking charge (NCAA). Instead pointing the finger at others while student athletes and the programs suffer. Entz referencing Merc confirms where a lot of feelings are about this. Not mine- feelings that matter.
Talk to a few recent former athletes/current athletes if you need it from the horse. Things are on a different trajectory and the course ought to be corrected. Leadership.
Expectations are different at NDSU. Feel free to point at 200 other programs and how they handled etc.
I would point at the 5-10 that win. They don’t rely on hope. Best intentions don’t excuse bad results. It is time to make a full spring playoffs happen and a full fall. Everyone else cancels- dance with the damn trophy. That is what was “intended” last fall. Follow through.

I agree with your last paragraph, I’m just not willing to point the finger at any one person or entity. As much as it’s easy to blame our Administration or the Conference or the NCAA, the situation was a unique kind of sucky for everyone and I don’t blame them for making the decisions they did to protect their interests, and that includes the NCAA.
