Didn’t take long for coach Klieman to answer.

I like how Matt Entz is subtly changing the brand. Nicely done.

What’s this referring to? Mid major?

Lipstick on what's become a pig. Klieman agrees.

yea but listen.
if NDSU goes up, we won't LOSE fans
but if we stay with status quo WE ALREADY ARE LOSING FANS!!

That you don’t know. The SHSU version of CUSA won’t be getting me to fargo.

The mountain west won't either. There's this dude out in Wyoming with no qb.

He's up-selling. Subtle but hopefully effective.

The WAC version would?

It would still be a major accomplishment if Matt Larsen actually came out and said what, if anything, they have actually done in terms of moving up. I'm tired of the bullshit response of "We're waiting for an opportunity". At least have the guts to keep the fans and donors informed.

I'm now in the camp of thinking ML needs to outright say we are exploring and want to move to FBS. Can even say no ones offered. I'm ok with that narrative being out there at this point. For one thing it would calm down the other FCS programs saying NDSU should just move up already.

I also think it's time to try every you can to.bring an FBS team to the dome or neutral site that is clearly a Bison home game. I know "no FBS team would ever do that" BUT I'm thinking there has to be a school that would take our money. I would be ok with way overpaying for such a thing as another statement that NDSU is bigger than the FCS and even the lower FBS.

I know those schools can get a $mil for an ooc game but some school has to be hard up enough to need a third payday. Think of the FCS teams playing two FBS games a year for the money.

Yep:

We’ve hired a consultant
We have agents having discussions
We have an idea on what conferences would make sense
I’ve thought about this more than just enough to avoid answering questions from reporters

Anything. 1660 alluded to things in the works “that they really thought the fans would like”. Something better happen this off-season otherwise we’re going nowhere and ML is just toying with us.
