A new and better FBS thread

[56BISON73]

Stating that you will begin an FBS transition in football starting in 2018. That is how you declare your intention. Doing so would generate serious discussions with conferences.

Making a couple phone calls is same as nothing.

How can you begin a transition if you have nothing to transition to? The NCAA says you must have a conference affiliation to make such a move.

Plus how would making a bad business decision generate serious discussions when they have no plans for expansion?

Answer the question, did NDSU get a MVFC invite before or after a DI move was declared?

After but that was a different situation. We didn't need a conference invite to go DI in FCS but we do to go FBS. So we can say we want to go FBS all we want but it isn't going to do any good without a conference invite.

Best advice is to increase your donations to NDSU so that if or when something shakes out we are ready.

We have PUBLICLY ZERO ZILCH PROOF THAT NDSU ADMIN HAS SOLICITED THE MWC OR MAC!!

strongman is my boy, but gene didn't talk to them to persuade them to invite NDSU nor has Dean

NDSU in order to get an invite. .. (NO SHIT SHERLOCKS WE NEED AN INVITE WE KNOW THAT.....BUT ) OUR ADMIN HAS TO "SELL THEM" ON NDSU!!!!

You Debbie downers can say that to your blue in the face, it's your only comeback we get that.....but this is salesmanship 101.... NDSU has to get out and do this (sigh..with an associate ad from stony brook)

NDSU is too good for the Fcs my god, read the top 25 poll in the fcs, it's laughable to associate NDSU with those teams!

Lets face it, NDSU has hit its peak, but FBS games will be impossibleto get going forward. Iowa State will be replaced with Upper Iowa. Our days of battling the mac and mwc for recruits will be gone, as will the days of top 40 teams. Without FBS games, we regress, period.

You are calling Gene Taylor a liar?

We got an invite after we actually MOVED.

Moving from D2 to D1 is different than the FCS to FBS move. You can't move to FBS without a conference invitation.

You are stating that an announcement must be made before a conference will invite you. That defies logic. It would seem that simply letting conferences know we are interested would serve to give them notice. BTW, something that Gene has said that he did.

Remember when those teams currently in the fcs top 25 thought we were a joke....my god relax and take normal look at the situation.
