Let's get in those and RECRUIT the top 5 kids from UNI,SDSU, usd und and hit up some higher level minnesota/Wisconsin kids and LETS GO GET TO A BOWL IN A WARM LOCALE EVERY DECEMBER instead of brown grass cold Frisco Texas on a fucking soccer field

The “meaningless bowl game” argument is such a sneaky straw man setup. If we stay FCS, we get to play for championships. If we move up to FBS we now have to automatically assume we are worse and go 7-5 every year? As has been noted for almost a decade now, the MAC and MW are slight steps up from the MVFC. And increase in level of play is probably less than the benefits we see from increased recruiting and additional scholarships. The argument just doesn’t make sense to me.

The other thing that I don’t think gets talked about enough is this: I think a reason you see a disproportionate chunk of the younger generation wanting to move up is because we aren’t thinking about just the next 5 years. We didn’t move to FCS because we’d have the ability to compete day one (although we did). It was supposed to be a long term investment to put us with schools that better fit our size, mission, athletic and academic commitment. At this point, NDSU has outgrown FCS and it’s very obvious.

We are the major land grand institution, with at this point the highest endowment, in a state flush with cash. We are high-research, have high quality academics and a ton of alumni involvement. Let’s start acting like it and see where FBS takes us.

Are we really a major land grant? I guess I'm asking what makes someone a major land grant?

When I look at the map there are some historically black and native schools on there, but when I look over the other schools, there is a ton of big P5 schools.

In the context of my post, I was saying that we are THE major land grand institution in the state.

In the context of all the land grant institutions I consider those falling under the classification of the 1862 Morrill Act to be major. More or less, each state got to choose one institution for this classification. For instance, there are 5 other land grant institutions in North Dakota. NDSU would be the only one I consider major and the only one falling under the original Morrill Act designation.
