Might not be over yet. The playoffs must have looked good to the MWC.

COULD FCS SCHOOLS BE THE NEXT TARGET FOR THE MWC.

Comments are very interesting. One person thinks NDSU has a football only invite in hand from an unnamed conference and is demanding full membership. Others say it won’t happen until 2028 or so

QUICK HITS

• Tarleton a full membership

• NDSU most likely football only

• BISON FANS ARE READY TO GO FBS! It was mentioned as a plus!

THE NEW BIG MOUNTAIN

Is that worth giving up the playoffs in a growing and strengthening FCS?

I’m on the fence. If it pays better it’s probably worth it.

what makes fcs growing and strengthening?

and i swear if you say the IVY we're going to fight

. The ivy is no good, I get it. They have money. They have pride. They won’t like Fargo and will covet home field. they will get better. They have a good start:

Brown @ 234 in Sagarin is better then Murray State @ 246

Besides there are a lot of FCS programs with FBS ambitions Tarleton among them. Like NDSU, I expect them to up their game to FBS levels.

This guy, with the YouTube link below, sums up the risks pretty well. Don’t let the pac 12 talk distract you.

• The money might not be there

• They have a good thing in the FCS

• Playoff audience is now over 2 million

• FBS prospects aren’t that good. No glamerous schedules

THE CASE AGAINST NDSU MOVING TO FBS

Em_Jayyy’s comment is also a great summation of why NDSU should not move to FBS:

@ 25 minutes In This one talks about the nil money. NDSU doesn’t have it. 30-40 million per year in nil. Players now are taking pay cuts to move to the NFL. The dream of FBS success needs to change. That FBS doesn’t exist It’s not the 1980s anymore, these aren’t college kids being student athletes and no more of that old college try, it has nothing to do with college. It’s all business. Team Makers is not about the team. College football is now big time entertainment sponsored by your local college.
