That's actually my reaction too. McFeely says a "strong plurality" in favor of staying in FCS. 36% FCS to 30% for FBS, with the remainder unsure or not caring, is not a strong plurality. 45-49% for FCS, with all other options in the teens or single digits, would be a strong plurality. As it is, the sentiment of fans regarding FCS vs. FBS is relatively evenly divided.
I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

If a poll was done prior to the move to D1, i'm sure that those in favor of staying in D2 would have been MUCH higher. The reality is that in general people think that we have a good thing going in the FCS so why take a risk and ruin it. The sad reality is however that we have grown too big for FCS. There is no parity in the FCS and each time we win a Natty it is diminished.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Well then, McFeely shouldn't have characterized it as a strong plurality if it's not possible to have one based on limited number of response choices. Bottom line...the sentiment is evenly divided among 3 responses available (if you combine unsure and don't care). Heck, the margin of error is practically 6%. And, it isn't accurate to say 48-27% among Bison fans. It was 48-27% among fans for whom Bison football is their favorite team. There are plenty of UND hockey fans and Vikings fans who also like the Bison. I think just about every doctor and lawyer I know was a NDSU undergrad and a UND law/med school grad. Dual loyalty is thing.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Well the Turtle Mountain Times didn’t run this poll so therefore I didn’t know about it and demand a recount!
