This Northern Illinois/Ball St game is where NDSU should want to be. amazing atmosphere, NFL product everywhere. Scouts all have their eyes tuned to ESPN 2.

Scouts dont bother with the ESPN 3 crap that NDSU currently is on

whats there to try? Its a foregone conclusion on where I want NDSU to be.

Desmond Howard calling your game??!

When Howard talks, we all stop whatever we're doing and listen. Many recruits are probably doing the same to one of the all time greats.

Honestly, if Des was talking about NDSU/Notre Dame I'd stop what I was doing definitely. #TeamLonghorn

The Big 5 will not be like that for very long. The Big 12 is on shaky ground due to Texas and their own TV network. And the fact that SEC lusts after Oklahoma and Texas. IF Texas went to the SEC (SEC would renegotiate their contract with ESPN), it would have a domino effect. Oklahoma would join. Perhaps, West Virginia. Then the SEC needs Florida State for complete and utter world domination.

There will probably only be 5 to 8 football conferences in the FBS in the next 5 years. The only real guarantees are that the SEC, Big 10, and Pac 12 will be around. If Florida State joined the SEC, I believe the ACC is also on shaky ground.

I would say that the U is a bigger stakeholder on the national scene than Florida St is. If you take Texas, FSU and the U the SEC would make every other conference irrelelvant. Oklahoma isn't that big of a grab. Granted the U isn't great now, but the U in the SEC makes them immediately a national name EVERY year. Much like LSU/Alabama/Georgia. It doesn't matter what they lose or have they are constantly in the talk at the begining of the season. Then add your Hail St's and Ole Miss that throw a few game winning streak together and they start dominating conversations. Adding Miami is probably a bigger steal from the ACC than Florida St. FSU has been nationally relevant about once every 3 to 5 years since Deion graduated.

That's funny. Howard won the Heisman 23 years ago. Yeah, kids today are well aware of him. Right.
