No they are not, and neither were we when we played on FOX against K St. Who our opponent is has nothing to do with it, the point is, how many people across the country know and watch NDSU football. The answer is not that many when your compared to the likes of Ohio St and teams similar to them.
From the movie THE PROGRAM
Regent Chairman: This is not a football vocational school. It's an institute for higher learning.
Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ass?
Yeah he is pretty funny, just because a team got on national tv does not mean they belong on national tv. What are the ratings of those mid week football games, I know for sure that they are not as good as the ones played on Saturdays. So when NDSU plays a Tues-Wed home game on Fox against some Miami OH with lots of empty seats because the fans who live 150+ miles away have to go to work the next day or kids can't go because the game lasts until midnight your going to be impressed with all those empty seats on national TV.

I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

The more I think about this FBS stuff the more I think FCS is the best place for us. I'll admit that I'm disappointed in the competition level in FCS, but if we would move to FBS we would end up playing in a mediocre conference playing mediocre teams that won't be any more recognizable than the teams we currently play. We would still be considered insignificant compared to the major BCS teams and would have a tough time funding the programs year after year.
Really, a move to a mid-level conference would essentially put us right where we are now. The best case scenario is for the non-BCS teams to have their own division and then we try to join up with them. That is where we really belong.
