NDSU has no place to go but down. The stadium is sold out and they just won a national championship. Guys need a new stadium and move to FBS. They already got a winning record vs the FBS. Build a new stadium Join the Mwc and enjoy the home games with 30,000 people.

The sad part for NSDU is there really isn't much difference between NDSU and UND. They play the same teams. It's just NDSU currently wins more and 8,000 more people watch.

It doesn't benefit NDSU.  Would it benefit UND to play NDSU in hockey if NDSU had a program and wasn't in your conference?  No, it would just give DI NDSU hockey legitimacy, and give recruits somthing else to consider.  Would UND hockey play NDSU?  No you wouldn't, for the same reason.  NDSU does what's in NDSU's best interest.

Are you able to look at things from another point of view, or just your own?

If NDSU had DI hockey of course UND would play them, if MSUM had DI hockey UND would play them why??  The win counts in the standings, RPI, etc. Does it do any good to play Mayville State or Jamestown in DI basketball...no why? Because they are NOT DI. Does it count to play UND in football yes because it would be a DI win. So don't give me this it wouldn't benefit NDSU BS. As long as Gene Taylor is at NDSU they will never meet in the regular season and I think everyone at UND knows this and I think the president at NDSU knows this as well. I do hope NDSU is in such a pickle they have no choice but to try to get UND on the schedule or get a DII game....then have Brain Faison tell GT "sorry Gene I tried but you f*ed around on the idea have fun playing Sioux Falls".

I wouldn't laugh most DI teams do eventually play non DI teams if not NDSU wouldn't have beaten Montana, and we wouldn't have beaten UNI.

I can sum this up.....we're scared of losing.  (See basketball and volleyball)
