What they want, they get.
Yeah, the more vague a poll question is, the more it is aimed to elicit a specific response.
I agree with you though, if the poll question was "If you could choose one athletic program to have national success, which would you prefer that program to be? Hockey, Basketball, or Football?"- people aint gonna pick hockey.
the more specific a question, the more accurate the responses become.
EXAMPLE: Many people here think this is the only question to be asked in regards to going FBS "dOnT yOu lIkE wInNiNg cHaMpIoNsHiPs?!?!" of course I like winning championships, but thats not the only question that should be asked.
What should be asked:
Do you think the Bison could compete on the field in the FBS?
Do you believe that going 9-2, 10-1 or 11-0 in the FBS provide larger benefits than going 9-2, 10-1 or 11-0 in the FCS?
Do you believe the FCS is a relevant college football brand nationally?
Do you believe there is more to be achieved in the FCS for NDSU?
If so, what specific goals do you believe are yet to be achieved in the FCS for NDSU?
Do you believe we are in a league of our peers, who value athletics at a high level as NDSU does?
Do you believe there is better media exposure for bowl games when compared to the FCS playoffs?
Does another Championship for NDSU provide any new or unique exposure and/or institutional gain that wasn't already achieved with the last 8 national championships?
If yes- what are they?
If not, why are you currently in a subdivision that provides no additional value for winning an additional championship?
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

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
