A new and better FBS thread

[Gully]

As much as I want NDSU in FBS, I also do not want to lose access to the CFP. At that point the G6 just become another rendition of FCS.

So, if all the chatter about SEC/B1G is serious, get us in the door, then throw away the key. Adding the Montanas, SDSU, or anyone else is not worth losing CFP access.

I hate to tell you this. These types of schools are going to loose access to the CFP regardless of the MW decision on NDSU. Also, if NDSU stays FCS they also will not have access to the CFP. If the G6 just becomes FCS, then the FCS becomes DII. Do you want to be DII?

hoople baybay!!!!!!

This is the most encouraging quote I've seen in some time. Notice his use of "and" instead of "but": It communicates, "We're ready when you [MWC] are!"

Yeah - I’m not sure it was intentional, but even if BUT or AND were used there, its about what i would expect Larson to say at this point…

Go back and read what I said again. At no point did I suggest NDSU should not move. I just don't want to drag more of FCS with us if it jeopardizes CFP access.

Ok, I didn't see you say anything about other schools. My understanding is there is just one spot they're looking to fill so I don't see why there would be any dragging.

Others have been suggesting we could "lobby" to bring SDSU along, and there was discussion of others a page or two back.

I conceptually like the idea of the Montana/xDSU gang of 4, but not if that jeopardizes cfp. And that seems to continue coming up as a rumor from press reports.

Understand. I haven't listened to the guy who was on 1660 today, but from a recap I heard it sounded pretty clear there was one spot. I'll have to go find it now to make sure I understood correctly.

I'm saying if this rumor is legit, and we do get in, we really should not lobby to add any more FCS schools later, even if it gave us regional rivals. A split may happen regardless, but the risk/tradeoff there is simply not worth it. Let the Montanas and Jacks stay behind. If a split happens, could bring them up after.

Sure. I honestly don't think NDSU has any intention of lobbying for anyone else, but that's just my opinion. There are actually advantages to NOT have any of the neighbors join us.

I was thinking the same thing. Like when we poach their best players.
