Answer this question. If there are NO invites to any conferences even after extensive pr campaigns what would you have NDSU do?

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?

If you're dead set going FBS you campaign year after year the conferences you want an invite from.
It worked for UND in finally getting a game with us.

But they want to move up NOW.
oh my the UND game? That was going to happen. It wasnt a question of if ,it was just a question of when.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
North Dakota State joining the Sun Belt for football only is not as absurd as it sounds especially if they move up with teams from MVC and/or Big Sky. NDSU, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, and Eastern Washington join the Sun Belt or some combination thereof. Sun Belt protects itself with a Super Conference and a title game. Hence, the aforementioned teams along with Idaho and New Mexico State form the West Division of the Conference.
The idea is not as absurd as the Big Sky Commissioner has talked smack about the whole conference moving up--which, in my opinion, is not plausible. Conferences expansion and the assimilation of teams for protection is going to happen.
Within 5 years, the Big Five will probably be down to 3 or 4 conferences. (You know the SEC is going to keep expanding.) And the other 5 conferences will probably be down to 3 or 4 conferences.
As a practical matter NDSU would be in a "local" regionalized conference (West Division of the Sun Belt). But would have to travel for the annual Sun Belt title game and the occasional East Division opponent.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
Obviously you havent read SV over at SS. The only way NDSU goes FBS is by joining the Big Fluffy. Their commissioner supposedly has the inside track on this maneuver. Thats why GT left because he couldnt stand the thought of being in the same conference with the UN-. S our current pres told him to leave. Hey he. has it on good authority that this is true.
Oh nice try.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
So now instead of getting one team a conference invite, you want to get an entire conference? How is that any easier?

I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
