Your post of September 7 was well-written and I can not disagree with many of your points. However, it specifically pertains to football. I don't think that there is any question that UND or NDSU (not sure about SDSU) can compete at the I-AA level.
However, I would be curious about your perception as to how all the other sports would be affected by the move. Recruiting DI quality basketball players to the plains and winters of ND is not very realistic plus I am not sure how our baseball, volleyball, swimming, track, etc. programs could afford to continue (our recruit better athletes).
Your thoughts?
