Geography and tradition mean shit. It is making it harder and harder to stay involved as a fan. I keep finding other stuff to do on Saturdays as life gets busier. Check the scores at the end of the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because you have the gimmick of being the "Alabama of the FCS" right now while Nevada hasn't been nationally relevant since Kaepernick. Let's see what the brand looks like when you move up to FBS and recruits don't want to come to Fargo, you start going 3-9 instead of 16-0, P5 programs are less inclined to schedule you, etc. Winning at the FBS level, especially as a G5 program in the west, is way harder than the FCS.

BTW- Basketball matters in this conference too. Please start touting Bison hoops too. I want to hear how a program that barely draws 3000 fans is going to improve our league.

People are searching for NDSU twice as much as 75% of the MWC across the country and y’all act like no one is Interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just here for the show but to correct you on one point. There is almost no way the P5 would schedule NDSU less as an FBS member than they do now as an FCS member. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While of course either will leave for a P5 invite, it does send a message to the rest of the MWC that they are here for a few more years. AFA and CSU might want to look closer at passing on an AAC move now. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make the league stronger. You and @Bizon sure love your team, and I do appreciate your enthusiasm. Keep on pimping them on this board and to the MW Home office. They obviously bring more FB value to the League than NMSU/UTEP. Even if AF/CS leave, those within the league believe they are stronger with 10. Now, if Boise/SDSU leave, you guys have a fighting chance to get in. I appreciate your input here. 1 1 Quote "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories."
