A new and better FBS thread

[natstar1]

Well its relieving to see people at chubs talkin about FBS. Any insight on what you're hearing from them at Chubs?

he's the only one talking about it so it's very similar to this thread

About 4-5 ndsu greats including a hall of famer. It's ok we are making progress last year everyone was like "Yea yea this is ndsu's best team ever let's see after we lose 20 seniors"

This year "el chapo you are onto something and I believe and yes NDSU needs to figure out thier future now!"

Yep ok chapo..... good one

ISUb beat writer sees eyes opening up to NDSU for Valley BB or FBS conferece. Still a long ways to go, but a fourth FCS championship, undefeated season, and new BB arena could bring in some offers. Most likely would be the MVC seeing Value beyond FB.

All this P5 separation talk is very premature. Does the MVFC, CAA, BSC, and SOCon need to separate from the rest of the FCS? When your at the top you already get the spoils, so why do you have to separate?

A question for the group (Even though I don't know why I bother).... If NDSU moves up will it negatively effect recruiting? We seem to win at least some recruiting battles with lower level FBS teams because kids want a chance to play for a championship. Or will competing against high level teams offset that loss.

If we were in a conference like the Big 12 I could see how playing teams like that could appeal to a kid. If we moved "up" to a conference like the Sun Belt I don't consider Arkansas State, South Alabama and Louisiana-Lafayette high level teams. Most likely that would kill recruiting in our current footprint as few parents/families would be able to attend many of the away games.

Strongman. 50-2. I was at chubs at 27-3 & it was packed with people from the game. Lots of chatter about FBS
ANYWHERE ELSE we'd have 90% of the fans pushing for FBS and bigger challenges. Lately people just want to be the best of the lousiest! ! 50-2. 31 in a row. When we go 100-3 or so when will all of you be ready to move up? Fans are bored they leave early.

Let's see, complain about people being bored and leaving early. Brag about leaving early.

I am not sure the love affair with the big 12. Not sure the joy of watching all our sports getting their ass kicked.

Every year there is 8-10 recruits with NDSU offers or regional schools that PICK THE FBS school just because they are FBS. Fact.
Miami Oh NIU Pitt Toledo Iowa St just to name a few.

Why would you think that? We would get Big 12 recruits just like everyone in the conference, if not better.
