If a P5 program offers an NDSU player an opportunity to play at a higher level, no way that kid says no. NDSU zealots may think they are high end FBS material, but they are not. Neither is anyone in the MVFC or FCS in general. The dumpster fire that is college athletics will benefit the mega conferences at the expense of everyone else. And this model is not sustainable.

There are more good than bad people. It's just that the bad get more attention; thus, it seems like there are more of them.
