The "we" I was speaking about was NDSU.

NDSU needs to come quit toying around with those no talents up in the Big10 and join the SoCon in playing the SEC. :)
Not all FBS conferences are scared to play FCS teams. Only the little ten conference!
I'm as big an NDSU fan as anyone, but I doubt any other BCS conference schools are scared of playing us. Yeah, we have beaten 6 piss poor FBS teams, but let's not get a big head over it! I can't wait to watch the NDSU/KState game this fall. Win or lose it's going to be a good one! GO BISON!!!
Maybe the Gophers are giving the Big 10 a bad name not only losing to NDSU twice, but losing to South Dakota. USD is not and has not ever been a football powerhouse in either division, and proves how bad Minnesota is/was. UND is 0-20 all time vs the Gophers and if UND were to squeeze out a win over the Goofs in 2017 or 2018 (talks were in progress to meet), then I think Barry Alverez would have a coronary.
From 1988 until 1993 The Citadel went 6-1 over FCS teams: We beat Arkansas, Navy x2, Army x2, and South Carolina. Air Force beat us 10-7.
NDSU is the flavor of the year right now, but they have never embarrassed anyone like we embarrassed Arkansas (10-3) and USC (38-35), and it did not affect the FBS playing FCS landscape one bit.
I'd say suggesting a few wins over teams like Minnesota is the reason for the Big 10 dropping FCS games is leaning towards hubris.
I disagree. Minnesota was embarrassed twice and Central Michigan, Ball State and Kansas were embarrassed too! I'm not saying that caused anything, just that those teams were embarrassed! I'm sorry but no matter how bad an FBS team is they still have more money and schollies then an FCS team and should be getting better talent and depth across the board!
