Good kid, good family and a North Dakota kid. I would hope all North Dakotans would be proud of wherever Carson's future takes him. I don't recall Bison fans having negative things to say about Weston Dressler. And not to limit it to just North Dakota kids but others who have played for the programs who have moved on to professional football. Quote

Can't feel anything negative about Wentz. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Viewers: 2016 FCS championship game: 1.35M 2016 FBS championship game: 26M 2015 MBB tournament NDSU/Gonzaga: 2.1M Puts in perspective the overall insignificance of FCS FB in the landscape of college athletics. Quote

Not even sure that is going out on a limb any more. Haven't looked at the competition for the week, but wondering if they would go to Iowa for the SU-Iowa game. Game might have a great story line with the FBS killer versus the 2015 Big Ten surprise. Very impressive what's going on in Fargo. 2 Quote

St. drew 1.4M viewers. That's Toledo and Arkansas St! In May of last year a UCLA/Auburn women's softball game drew 1.6M viewers. Respectable I guess is one way one could describe it but again in the grand scheme of college athletics FCS FB is still a niche viewership sport. 1 Quote

Interesting, but not surprising. I'd also say that is pretty decent. As far as the relative importance to the landscape of college athletics overall, interesting to note the 635,000 viewers from the 2015 NCAA Hockey Championship Game in Boston between Boston University and Providence. Just goes to show how important getting your basketball team to the big dance is. It definitely has the biggest potential for exposure and viewership. Would be REALLY, REALLY nice to have our football, hockey and mens basketball teams all rolling at the same time to maximize the exposure for the flagship University of North Dakota. Can you imagine a FCS Football Championship Game appearance, Frozen Four appearance and Big Dance ticket all in the same year? 4 Quote

Me neither but its been pointed out: Its not the viewership of the championship games, its all the exposure they keep getting on College Gameday that really is putting them out as a "National" brand I dare say (I was at a bar in San Diego chatting with a couple last year..."We're from North Dakota oh yeah... "NDSU we saw them on College Gameday was their first response.)....now if only they were FBS. Quote
