    Convincing the admin isn't the problem, they are onboard.

    They could blanket the airwaves with messages about wanting FBS, and it won't change the outcome, other than possibly motivating UND linked politicians to block the whole damn thing.

    So to sum up the last X years of this thread. NDSU might be FBS soon OR they might not be. The Bison might be stuck in FCS forever OR they might not.

    Go Bison!

    Yup, definitely an element of agnosticism lol

    “Blanket the airwaves” lmao yall are so damn dramatic

    If yall weren’t so busy trying to exaggerate what people are asking for you’d probably agree or at least understand the point we’re trying to make
    Mountain West, hope for the best.

    Just finished listening to Tom Burman give a press conference about conference realignment. Most other things have been publicly reported here are three things that stood out to me.
    1) FCS schools are on the board for MW expansion and FCS schools have reached out to the MW.

    2) Other conferences reached out to Wyo as a potential landing spot if the MW did not continue as a league.

    3) No further talks with CSU have been had about scheduling future games.

    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    There is absolutely no guarantee we land a FBS invite now, or in 30 years. And by the time we get there, it could be completely different and feel more like FCS all over again anyhow.

    Everyone wants to believe that if the admin just does everything right an FBS invite will happen. There's just so many other factors at play that are out of our control. The conferences are the ones making the decisions, and the media companies play a role also. If the MW media partners decide they really want us, we will get an invite.

    Now is still the best opportunity we have had. If it doesn't happen this round, then we will probably be in FCS for the next 5-10 years.
    the problem is that noone knows if they are trying or not. I think most would be happier with "try and fail" than with "are we even trying"?

    at least we would know that they are trying, and it could absolutely change the outcome.

    Wyoming AD Tom Burman on the Mountain West potentially adding FCS members:

    “They’re on the board. For me to speculate for where it’ll land would be inappropriate, but there are a few high-level FCS programs that are on the board
