    That’s just it. Boise leaves and there’s the most appealing conference mate. Outside of that there isn’t a team that most casual has a clue about.

    We have traveled well to Frisco and our FBS games but there’s no way our fan base travels that well week in week out as a whole when games are +1000 miles away.

    I am guessing they have contingency plans in case things blow up suddenly and so forth. I’m just saying that they’ve told us that this is not something they are pursuing. Nothing would make me happier than to find out that’s just what they had to say publicly and in fact they’ve been doing much more behind the scenes.
    I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

    i wouldn't say that Boise is the only name in the MWC that matters.

    Games against Wyoming, Colorado State and AirForce, UNLV would be a draw not to mention road games in Las Vegas, Denver and California... Fans travelling to games would go down for sure but the home games would be MUCH more exciting than they are now.

    Our desire to go FBS should have nothing to do with how well we travel as a fan base.

    Remembering how SDSU stuck with us in the move to DI, I would love to keep the two schools a package deal to FBS. At least then we would have one bus trip in the MWC or MAC.

    Also, it isn't going to happen.

    and besides the 2500-3000 fans at SDSU every other year, NDSU fans arent travelling too many other places.
    Plus the ALumni in those parts of the country will love it and You cant tell me we dont take thousands to Vegas, Colorado, Wyoming, San Diego? we will!

    and dont give me the travel expense BS. Terra Haute, Youngstown are just as far as Colorado ST, Air Force, Wyoming
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

    We have a pretty small alumni base relatively speaking. Thousands aren’t traveling on a consistent basis. That’s all I’m saying.

    If we just want our foot in the door then I'm for going Independent rather then tying ourselves to some far ranging conference for all sports. That would be a huge drain on our finances and no way out guaranteed. As an Indy we can keep our other sports in the Summit. We can make a scheduling alliance with the other Indy's. If a better conference offer comes along we can jump at it, in the mean time continue to grow our budget, facilities and improve all our sports.
