Q&A with Doug Fullerton

Some interesting questions and answers:

no to splitting the league to have some go FBS and some stay FCS (if the FBS splits again), he would rather the whole BSC move up.

Increased quality coming for Big Sky TV

No to splitting football into two divisions and a BSC championship

No conference alliance (BSC-MVFC) as Dom Izzo questioned.

The only sport expansion is men's golf 2014-15

On the question of membership expansion....depends on the institution and/or the fit for a specific need

Which means means that the BSC will most likely remain FCS indefinitely. Many schools in the conference couldn't afford the expense of jumping to FBS. I wonder if some schools are having back room discussions about joining an existing FBS conference or possibly forming a new one down the road?

Its official Weber State just inked a Home and Home with NDSU. NDSU at WSU in 2014, and WSU at NDSU in 2015.

Dom Izzo still thinks UND and NDSU should meet in 2015.

Feel free to start unloading but have said for a couple years 2015 would be the year #NDSU and #UND play; each team needs game #FCSFootball

BREAKING... UM AD Kent Haslam has just announced that the Athletic Department has bought out the NDSU Bison game, and the Griz football team will not be playing North Dakota State this fall. The Bison game, originally scheduled to be played on September, 6, will be replaced with a home game against a premier top 25 FCS opponent that will be named in the next few days.

I would have been glad to take the buyout money and use it to get a legit FCS team to the Fargodome, maybe one from a good FCS conference like the Colonial or Southland.

When's the last time GT paid a quality team to come to Fargo?

Great example of how you visit here "to add to the conversation" and "bring a different perspective" You must be due to post about "arrogance" and "remember we're better than you" today also. Nothing to talk about at Bison-swill as usual - we're playing for a national championship next week. (Now que the "it's a niche sport, no one cares post).

The only hammering next year will be on you guys. Should be funny as hell......

Well, at least you have that to look forward to. Who knows, maybe sometime in-between minimum wage will go up?

That will give you two things to look forward to...

Montana St. hired Brian Fish as its new men's basketball coach. He was previously an assistant at Oregon, Creighton, and Kansas St. His base salary is $145,000 which if I recall is around $55,000 more that what North Dakota pays our head coach.

Not saying Jones deserves a $55,000 raise, but the next time we are in the process of hiring a new coach whether that is a year from now or 5 years from now, the salary is going to have to go way up to stay competetive with other Big Sky programs.

Talk about butthurt at being rejected by the Big Sky. Those numbskulls still are hoping we get kicked out of the BSC as some sort of poetic justice for rejecting NDSU.

Strange Tony hasn't thrown a party thread for Ryan Bakken's retirement. BV couldn't wrap thair noggins around that Bakken was no longer a sportswriter, but someone who wrote satire. If you joke about NDSU, its always taken seriously down in BV and it is taken to heart like a crime against the state. Ryan Bakken is equivalent to Osama down there.
