    Four reasons NDSU should stay FCS

    The NCAA is making a small fortune charging a 20% fee on its ticket exchange.

    The Allen, Plano, and Frisco hotel industry is cashing in on the normally slow post New Years period.

    The rest of the FCS community can make firms plans for the first weekend in January without worrying about unexpected championship celebrations.

    It gives AGS members something to rehash when there is nothing else to discuss on the message board.

    Reason #5 why NDSU should stay FCS:

    Akron in the fall

    It's the same reason Mount Union and Mary Hardin-Baylor stay in Division III: it works for them.

    FWIW, the MHB stadium is better than a lot of I-AA facilities:

    This here. Also, as I saw posted by another in a different thread, as long as a program is following the rules of their level they can compete wherever they want (generally time will expose those that aren't following the rules, hopefully NDSU has been in compliance throughout the run).

    Now on the other hand, anytime fans of top FCS programs try to claim schools that do not fund scholarships or choose not to participate in the playoffs do not belong in FCS, they are equally wrong.

    A little off topic, but I want to get this straight...

    The fans' pronunciation of bison is byes' -en. (right?)
    I ask because I heard a TV sports reporter pronouncing it byes-ON.

    Just listen to people STILL pronounce Gonzaga wrong and you'll realize it takes more than 8 years to get people to know how to say your team's name. Even though they're often referred to as the Zags, they're still called Gonz(ah)ga by 50% of media. So, just assume you'll always be called the Bye-sen by some people!

    I guess when your aunt has worked for the Zags since you were born (me that is), you just know how to pronounce it properly, even if she is a Griz fan at heart. (Grew up in Anaconda and went to UM).
