Make it happen, maybe then the MVC would take UND off our hands and help our travel budgets in the BSC.

In the ever shrinking FCS there may be 100 schools left in the division by season's end and 24 of them will vie for an NC that has becomes as meaningless as a grade school "participation trophy."
Indeed. Who Does Give A Shit :?: ....Cry me a river :cry:

Yeah, I love the fcs, but clearly the people that give a crap are the ones pumping millions of dollars into the fbs...and giving squat to the fcs. Face-it, outside of alumni, and folks that grew up watching fcs football, nobody cares.
 
In reality, losing some major FCS programs really does not affect the division. It doesn't lose prestige on a national scale, because well it never really had any.

There will be upstart programs, DII teams looking to move up. Does everyone remember NDSU was DII not that long ago?

We lost some storied FCS programs this year yes, but in the end what does that really mean to FCS? That there are a few less programs. But there will be more - there are 4 joining FCS in 2014 alone.
 
The FCS Faithful remind one of the subject of the story about the hopelessly optimistic little boy whose parents tried to shock into finally facing up to reality. While his brother got a shiny new bike for Christmas he opened up a box full of shit wrapped in newspaper and exclaimed joyfully..."Oh boy, a pony that got away!"

FCS has lost ten ponies and counting...GrizNation will soon be left with the box... ;)

This. Not going away because it's a perfect fit for a bunch of schools out there and the $$ is right.
 
Ahh yes, we should totally stay stagnant while other schools with ambition move on to FBS, and smaller schools with ambition move in (D-II). (Sarcasm) Anyone ever heard the phrase, if you're not growing, you're dying?
 
UNI, Liberty and James Madison and every other FCS school are not going anywhere.

Conference realignment at the FBS is pretty much done with the new ACC media contracts. The ACC owns all the tv rights for all the schools for 15 years. Which means that if a schools leaves, the ACC can make it so that the schools' teams are not on tv.

And a cap has been put on how much money the "other" FBS conferences get. So why would these conferences add schools to shirnk their piece of the pie.

We don't have any say in the matter. Why don't you talk to someone who can do something about it?
