"Despite dominance, Taylor says FBS move isn't coming anytime soon"
"If the big boys [top 5 FBS conferences] would get their way and leave, some think some of those aforementioned lower-tier schools could drop to the FCS level – joining the powers of the current FCS level like NDSU. Wouldn’t that be ironic, Craig Bohl’s Wyoming team of the Mountain West competing at the same FCS level where he made NDSU a dynasty."
“They’re not doing it for financial reasons, that’s a misnomer,” Northern Iowa athletic director Troy Duncan was quoted as saying last fall. “You’re going to make more money moving up, but you’re going to spend more money. I think they are doing it because of an insecurity of where FCS football is headed.”
“It’s fair to say that the continuing migration of some of the better teams in FCS into FBS is troubling,” said Patty Viverito, the commissioner of the Missouri Valley Football Conference that NDSU plays in. “But we think playing for a national championship is a lot more interesting than playing in bad bowl games with nobody present.”
