A new and better FBS thread

[NorthernBison]

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.

BUT, we're better than those programs. Sounds like we are still getting the best of the best. I think we are winning that exchange. They get the problem children. We get the smart guys with character.

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

Besides the fact there is no recruiting base in North Dakota? And our facilities are subpar (per big 12 standards). Or that out alumni support is a fraction of Big 12 schools. And if we had a fraction of success the other schools would just hire our coaches?

That is the most ignorant post ever. That's a flat out falsehood (most problem kids go juco), a marginal fbs recruit will take the FBS offer most times, heck they take FBS PWO'S over fcs full rides most times just to say they are a fbs player

So let me get this straight.... FBS teams have an institutional recruiting advantage because they are FBS and get better recruits. However if NDSU went to the MAC or MWC we would contend immediately for the conference title even though we have FCS players?

How many MAC teams have we lost to? Your argument is that we lose players to schools like that "just because they are FBS". Even if you weren't making it up (yeah right), I would expect us to be much worse than your typical MAC football team.

But we're not. In fact, you yourself, have proposed the argument that we would WIN the MAC.

If FCS is such a recruiting disadvantage that we lose great recruits just because of the initials, how are we doing so well? It seems impossible.

Cripes, you even threw ISU in there to TRY and make a point. Of course kids take P5 offers all the time (and we still beat them). I'd say any kid who takes a MAC or Sun Belt offer "just because they are FBS" is NOT the kind of "character" player we want on the roster. Kids commit here because they want to play for the Bison and be a part of something special.

Those that want to brag about playing FBS and have that as their motivation aren't worthy of playing for the Bison without an attitude adjustment.

Oh, and I'm sure you have the record for ignorant posts. Just pick one anywhere. One of the memorable recent ones was your "math" in calculating how we'd make $1.28 million per year selling beer. Business Major? Really? Do you even know what COGS stands for?

So you are saying that kids who want to play at the highest level of football need an attitude adjustment?

22 more full rides to give to the 22 regional kids who otherwise went FBS or the top.2-3 recruits of sdsu uni usd siu Montana etc. Right?

They dont take the offer to SAY they are an FBS player. They take the offer because they WANT TO BE an FBS player. They think they have the talent to play at that level. No different than players who come here as a walkon as opposed to accepting a D2 offer or NAIA.
