Default Re: NDSU to AAC prepare theyself.

Decision likely wont be known until January according to McMurphy.

Major programs in any college sports division have a lot of PUD games. NDSU is a major program in the FCS with a lot of PUD games. What’s new, there were a lot of PUD games in D2 as well.

In the FBS NDSU is PUD. They haven’t beaten an FBS team since before the United States was overtly taken over by Marxist elements. NDSU is so PUD I can recall some Bison fans proclaiming some FBS conferences were beneath the Bison, NDSU and certainly some of its fans. Those statements look a little out of step now.

NIU might not happen, who knows. If NDSU does get the invite it might not be the correct choice. Nobody has ever shown where the additional 10-20 million yearly is coming from. The MWC doesn’t have it. The NDSU budget doesn’t show it. There aren’t enough empty seats to sell, so where is the money?

Do sponsors suddenly fork it over because we moved football to the FBS? Does it matter if all we can schedule are PUD FBS teams: the sunbelt, MAC and PUD MWC teams? Do they raise the value of all those new sponsorships 10-20 million? Do advertising rates go up to match bigger markets? How do the media deals get any better than they are now?

The only indication we are given is a statement that NDSU wants to compete at the highest level. Maybe this is it?

It boils down to markets and resources. NDSU and Fargo may be on the verge of competing with the Dkalbs but apparently aren’t there yet. Maybe it will happen someday but it seems more likely we will see more programs step up like the Dakotas and Montana, making our division more interesting.

NDSU has moved up a little though. They are in the conversation now.

LOL

What is the MWC thinking? A solid 108 team in NIU or a solid top 50 in NDSU and/or SDSU?

What about the greed mongers in FBS leadership positions raiding other conferences of their members while insisting the devastated conferences should not look to the FCS? They are the first ones to snub your nose at.
