A new and better FBS thread

[The_Sicatoka]

The difference between UND and NDSU is we have competent administration that I trust to maintain compliance in all areas. Title IX simply isn't an issue with us. Just because your school can't understand those 37 words doesn't mean we can't.
TITLE IX IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH FBS NDSU. Is that clear enough?

NDSU is out of balance regarding athletics funding M vs F. That's fine, nothing wrong with it, agree, completely compliant, ... until a group of female NDSU students asks for a ________ team to be formed. But then "third prong" test used by NDSU (campus interest and ability) kicks in and the funding disparity comes into focus. Hope no group of NDSU female students ask for a varsity team. (For comparison, UND uses "first prong", funding proportionate to enrollments, for compliance.)

2021 EADA Reports	 	        NDSU	 	        UND
 	 	                        M	F	        M       F
Student Enrollment	 	        52.9%	47.1%	 	53.1%	46.9%
Duplicated Participation	 	58.0%	42.0%	 	53.4%	46.6%
Unduplicated Participation	 	63.7%	36.3%	 	56.4%	43.6%
Financial Aid	 	                61.8%	38.2%	 	56.5%	43.5%

And just don't believe me; ask your Athletics SWA who oversees these things.

Sicatoka brings a lot to the discussion IMO. No use disparaging anyone who can have a civil conversation.

Title IX prongs are a favorite topic of discussion on the hostile and abusive sports forum.

Interesting little blurb from some local reporters.

Our outgoing president and current AD have been on the record saying the money to go FBS actually works out quite well - it's not the money at this point (except for the CUSA). At least not from NDSU's point of view...

The same outgoing president who's on record saying this?

“In a city of a quarter of a million people (including the entire Fargo-Moorhead metro area) you can only raise so much money and I think we’re probably getting closer to that point, so it’s not as simple as, ‘Okay. ‘If you are FBS you will raise more money.’ I don’t know if this is the case,” Bresciani said.

“That’s a lot to ask. But as for NDSU, we don’t believe we have enough resources to get into a situation that will require a lot of new resources.”

His commentary specifically stated a move would make sense if it "doesn’t require a lot of new resources". That's quite different than saying "the money to go FBS works out quite well".

Everyone's buddy McFeely wrote an article about it not all that point ago.

Bresciani got the hots for a west coast gal & was ready to be done. good for him combined with an east coast AD that is just happy to coast with his lucky horseshoe of a job
there's a LOT of money that is being held back BECAUSE NDSU ISNT FBS.

Yeah, we've talked about it on here when our other resident UNDer made the same point. We just raised $586M dollars in 6 years. I would've guessed the giving was tapped out after that too. FBS or no FBS.

But you're missing the point. NDSU can absolutely make the budgets work with the increase in media $ and postseason $ disbursements by the conference, in the right conference. That much is pretty clear. We're talking something of the order of $5M increase on Day 1. No glaring need to increase the level of giving that is already taking place. Although there certainly are folks who are sitting on the sideline waiting for a reason to give again.

He may have been talking about the CUSA, where there is no media $ and about to be essentially no postseason $ disbursements. Hard to tell, they've chosen to be incredibly vague, non-committal and coy about everything once FBS gets brought up.

holding out money because NDSU isn’t FBS….that’s similar to a UND fan saying they won’t support their program because the Sioux nickname.
if someone is too petty to support the kids and program as they are so be it.
