Saying this run by NDSU is boring, is like saying Tiger Woods made golf boring. The run ended for Tiger, and other players got better when he returned.
As the pool of available players to recruits out of HS shrinks, the gulf between teams like NDSU vs most other FCS teams will get wider going into the 2020's.
Agreed ... I get OP's point, but I don't want NDSU to leave MVFC (or FCS). They have raised the bar for MVFC .. I've posted playoff results (sans NDSU) since 2011 that convincingly prove that point that "the Wings" have performed better in playoffs than any other conference since 2011 ... better than CAA and Big Sky ... like .650 versus .500 better, exluding NDSU.
But I'm not so sure their model and system would work at P5 level like it does at FCS level. Sure they typically beat an FBS team ranked somewhere between 20-50 every year. But that is one game early in the season .. "trap game", if you will. Imagine if they were a P5 team, putting aside their venue limitations", who got scouted more regularly and had to now play 11 FBS games. That is a whole different grind AND and whole different game, just in term of physical skill levels and style of game putting playmakers in space. That is not NDSU's game .. and they would eventually have to adapt to that.
So that leaves them at G5 level IMO .. and why would they do that ? It is only marginally better than the FCS top 20 or MVFC top 5. So they would do what each year in G5 .... compete for some weak G5 conference title anf then go from 1 irrelevant bowl game to another each year. I just don't see how the G5 bowl series is better than FCS playoffs ... by better, I mean more rewarding. NDSU gets 3 more home games ($$$) and a trip to Frisco for "true Natty".
I wouldn't take that trade if i were them .. P5 is not realistic, and G5 is not worth it, for them .. might be for others.
So I'm glad they are FCS and MVFC. But I also don't believe they would realistically be better off by trying to make a jump. I hope they stay and that my ISUr are the next team to knock them off the mantle (ala JMU) .. we return a lot next year, and we're trying to beat them, not get rid of them.
Also, NDSU being in frisco has helped keep the game there. While EWU brought a great contingent, had it been a EWU vs SDSU game, the stadium would be half empty.
Raise yourselves up to NDSU’s talent level, and grow your fan base/retain alumni with it.
I agree and disagree. Boring yes as we all know who next years winner is already. Should they move no, the rest of us need to improve. It will all work all at some point in the future.
The 19 team is going to be a lot like the 14/16 teams. This 19 team will have to replace 24 seniors, whom, most of which were vital pieces to the Bison success. If there is a team that is going to sneak one in, this would be the year it happens. I will say this, should that 19 team win, that 20 team will be dominant as hell with the 21/22 teams potentially rivaling the 13 and 18 teams.
