Yes, that's more votes than Texas Tech, Georgia, Iowa, Ole Miss, and Kansas State. (Not that I put a lot of stock in the reliability of the AP Top 25 Poll, but it's still kind of cool.)

Now go play them, you've outgrown the FCS

I disagree. But regardless, a move up for NDSU is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Well lets see, you have a fan base that shows up, rare in FCS these days
You dominated the playoffs
You have a good track record vs FBS teams
You just Three peated
and all the good teams are moving up, do you wanna be stuck at the FCS level or be the next Boise State?

You guys should all go back to DII. Just using your logic.

Chances of us being the next boise state = 0. Maybe if ND decides to give each school(NDSU and UND) 10 million a year out of a billion surplus we could, beyond that we are stuck trying to dominate the FCS.

As of now, our budget would be last place in MW, and bottom 3-4 in the MAC. We would need to spend a lot of money making a new dome or still a significant amount trying to increase capacity of the fargodome + no conference outside out maybe the Sun Belt (merica' conference) will even take us.

Why isn't Delaware moving up? They are larger and have had more championship appearances.

My how question was more along the lines of who will invite us.

lots of opinioins on Gohens.net about that, but basically from what I can gather it's just never been a priority of the admin types...... but most of the diehards seem to be leaning towards moving up

I got it. Delaware can move up, then they don't have to compete with us anymore.


The FBS is an absurd exercise in futility. A team not in the top 5 conferences can never hope to compete.
