Honest questions: why are they still in FCS? Why not use this success to springboard to a BCS level program? What's left to prove?
Is there something causing this to not happen?Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
Victory for U-N-I!
Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

The trouble is that the best way to determine how you played the game is by whether you won or lost." - Anonymous

I'm not aware of any BCS conference expressing interest in them. Not sure NDSU is willing to make the additional investment overall that is necessary. And probably the bottom line is that conferences aren't drooling over the Fargo TV market.

I would rather rack up titles then win the garbage bowl in Detroit.

Despite some of their fans (mainly Lakes) wanting to move up, I think most people associated with NDSU know that if they move up they will never have a chance at a national title again, for a program with as many titles as they have that is what they strive for, knowing that they wouldn't ever get that a chance again is holding them back.
Also losing Klieman is huge, plain and simple he has won anywhere that he had been, heck his one recruiting class at Loras ending up being the best Loras teacher in like the last 50 years.

What is the upside to moving up, really?
Absolute BEST case scenario would be that in 10-15 years you get to a Boise State UCF level and even then, its been proven that they have a 0.0% of ever playing for a national title even if they win every single one of their games for years on end.
Plus, they are land locked in Siberia recruiting-wise, and have no capability of expanding their stadium.
If I were them, I’d just keep enjoying the winning.UNI FIGHT

I think they stay FCS. Too big a jump and the geography is too much of a hinderence. It's not impossible they could pull a Boise/App State level of success...but it's a big risk.Last edited by Blue42; 01-09-2019, 06:37 PM.Winning is more fun than losing.
