I hear that's the Sun Belt.

No room. Call CUSA.

Nah. They can join the Belt with all the other All-Time FCS greats.

That’s be a lot of FCS titles in one conference but North Dakota just doesn’t scream Sun Belt.

Call CUSA. Seriously. Pretty sure they would consider you. Good luck.

But I thought the Sun Belt was the bestest at adding established power programs, no? Why not NDSU?

Because they’re in Canada, if they were in a better geographical situation they would have been approached by several conferences long before now. That negative rep is starting to make sense.

None of this matters, NIU called dibs for the next round already

1. The Sun Belt payout is going to be huge I've heard. Travel coats should be no issue.

2. I try my best.

What about the American? Y’all died of dysentery trying to make it out west. Maybe try your hand at the great white North? Get the Jack Rabbits and Montana while you’re up there.

We tried the north with UConn. The AAC was holding them back so they left.

Good point I forgot.

Y’all should definitely pick up Tarleton State and SHSU before CUSA does. Can never have enough Texas schools. And keeps CUSA out of Texas.

I'm pretty sure they were on the "To be considered list" just above ODU and Culinary University of Southwestern Illinois.

Ouch. That one cut deep.

Does OD.U field a football team?

Is there room in the AAC for a Football-Only Invite ? (or all sports, F it)

NDSU is 144-11 in last 155, 8 Natl titles
NDSU has 2 Top 3 NFL draft picks in 5 years
NDSU has 11 current NFL players
NDSU has had ESPN Gameday 3 times in 7 years.
NDSU has $30 million budget, 19,000 sell out crowds (pre covid)

Lets GO! its a plane fight to Fargo every 2 years (and we can play Neutral Site games in Minneapolis Minnesota)

I like your program, but damn dude, you're in North Freakin' Dakota. The MAC is a haul. MWC would be an even bigger hit to your athletic budget.

Whenever I see this from a fan I take them much less seriously.

Probably a grain of truth to it. Were I a FBS school AD, I would never schedule a good FCS team. There is absolutely no advantage to it. If you win, everyone says they are FCS, of course you should win. If you loose, everyone freaks that you lost to an FCS team.

If you are going to schedule a cupcake game, make sure it is a cupcake team.

So AAC might have some members with actual balls and would invite some legit competition

Ill give ya a tip. Dont assume fear. Nobody is afraid of a Division 2 team. Yes, you are successful but nobody at this level cares.

Its like when you see High Schoolers talking crap and acting big. You get away with it cause its High School (division 2) but when that High Schooler leaves and goes to college (FBS), they all quickly find out that nobody gives a bucket of piss that you were the prom king. Nobody.

A better way to go at this is to understand them and not assume. Its been reported that the MWC tv partners were not willing to increase the contract before their new deal in 2025.

Your best bet is the MWC. If you have to accept something like CUSA as a football only until they invite you, then thats what you need to do but honestly, I am not certain they would add you.... its a long flight for everyone involved and only truly benefits NDSU.

When was the last time NDSU lost a game against an FBS team?

I'll wait...

Don’t take it personal, we like you. We’ve just been in a texas, I mean toxic relationship before and it didn’t work out. But I’m glad you’re happy with your new conference mates and plus you’ve got 6 games with ODU to look forward to.

Seriously. They probably have more P5 pelts than 90% of this conference since its inception.
