adding any female sport that no one watches is tough to do financially...especially if it involves horses.

My oh my … the clowns come out from everywhere when it starts to look like we could move.

It's "and" not "or" the way the NCAA release is written.

If adopted, all FBS schools would be required to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across at least 16 sports, including football. Schools also would be required to offer at least 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million in athletics scholarships offered.

Pricey privates want a dollar number; cheap publics want a grants number; so require both and make nobody happy <-- the NCAA way!

You seem very invested in the idea that NDSU can't move up. Why would this be so important to you?

did you ever think it might be mutually beneficial to und that the other dak3 are in a position to move up and that if 1,2, or 3 of them aren't qualified it might hurt und's chances of getting a FBS invite if it required a travel partner?

What I said was, "None of that is insurmountable (money and a plan), but there are more moving pieces than first glance would have one believe."

It's more than taking a phone call and a hearty Chapo "Let's goooooooo!"

Every school, UND, NDSU, SDSU, USD, Montana, MSU, Idaho, has details to work out.

If having a plan is required for movement then UND is screwed.

you can say that but numbers and facilities say otherwise.
