After we win our third national title and having Bohl as our coach, IS the right time to move up. Bohl is the perfect coach to lead us to the next level.
The number of quality teams is going to vary from year to year. Its cyclical. We have not passed the test of time. To think we have mastered this division is very short sighted. But for some reason you seem bored with where we are and the teams we play? Why is 3 natties the magic number? If we dont win 3 does that mean we arent ready?
How is the division going to get watered down?
You have to be invited to move up. The Bigs need to settle it out before any determination can be made. We are not in charge of our own destiny. Too many stars need to align before a move can be considered.
By some chance the stars align where is the money going to come from? Just snap our fingers? Are you willing to write the check? Im not taking about 100.00. I am talking substantial money. Its going to be a serious commitment. You think only 2500 TM will be able to fund this move?
What conference are we going to? We certainly cant demanded a conference to take us because we are the mighty Bison. What about Title 9 concerns? There are many more issues than what I brought up Iam sure.
Winning 3 natties will not be the catalyst that makes NDSU move. The catalyst is something we have no control over. And the catalyst certainly isnt fans ego. Which is really nothing more than noise.
More importantly what is the benefit for NDSU in moving up? Whats the ROI? The reason I ask this is because if there is a move up the football team will become a very small piece of the puzzle in the over all picture. This means what does NDSU offer the conference as an institution of higher learning as a whole.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?
