    Where are the resources at?? BSA has needed improved for how long and it's finally getting done. Fargodome needs expanded. Will that ever happen?? Where does the money come from??

    I pray NDSU doesn't go FBS for at least 15 to 25 years.... being a low FBS team is just boring..... look at teams in the Sun Belt...... have you honestly ever watched a Sun Belt football game? Lets save our money because we dont even have enough as it is and stay in the FCS and win National Championship rather than playing in Nobody Cares Bowl game! Threads like these are pointless because some people just don't see it.

    What resources? I keep seeing this argument put out there by people who want to move up now, but I have not once, ever, seen a legitimate argument on specifics for all of these "resources".

    We can't even afford to pay our coach more than the bottom feeders of FBS, and you somehow think we could be a top 15-20 school?

    Maybe in about 30 years when we can keep coaches from going to Wyoming.

    Who are the schools that have made jump from FCS to FBS in the last 15-20 years? Best case scenario Marshall? Worst case?

    Not sure all there have been a lot lately.

    Did we play James Madison recently in the playoffs or something, I can't remember? Anyway they just got done with a study saying they would be well positioned to transition into FBS - so it will be interesting to see what happens with them.

    The Fargrodome would suffice for the first four or five years and would lead or be near the top in attendance in MAC or Sun Belt. ( MAC schools lie regarding #s) I hate to burst your bubble but the "crap bowls" tv ratings blow away today's game. You do realize that the MAC and Sun Belt have ESPN contracts as well as regional tv contracts?

    15000 fans from Fargo can spend $1000 to come to game but they won't donate to the cause?? You and your conservative D 2 narrow mindness sucks. Your negative stuff gets tiresome.

    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?

    You opposed the building of the FargoDome, correct? You opposed moving up to Division I, correct?
