Of course a few prospects can be recruited who otherwise would have been FCS, especially the SDSU, USD and UNI prospects. That is an obvious......nothing new there
It's already happened to some extent. Far more Grand Forks people are pro NDSU than I would have ever expected. Plus we'd get way more relevant in The Cities. The FBS label would separate NDSU from previous associations and people will be a fan of NDSU as an FBS team and, say, UNI/USD,etc as their FCS team.
