With NIL every athlete can go make as much money as companies are willing to pay them.  The school should have little to do with it.  The Athlete should go market themselves or the business should reach out to them.

 

That's exactly what companies like Opendorse help to facilitate.  By the letter of the law (rules), it's perfectly legal, and UND can create a partnership with a company like that.  UND wouldn't have anything to do with which players or companies do or don't choose to participate, and UND would have no involvement with any of the resulting NIL agreements.

How do other schools know which recruits to pay without any direction from the University?  Intermediaries??

Right?! It's like they think they're running an education institution!

Can people around here quit bitching about "Chaves taking a wait and see approach to NIL." He has to take a wait and see approach. The school cannot be involved in NIL deals. By NCAA regulation he must "wait and see" what other people do about it.

You can poo-poo sports and winning but without Sports what would the educational institutions look like.....probably just big, broke, on-line tech schools.

No, no it wasn't.  For the 100th time, people were talking about the other sports more than FB. 

It was misguided, however, as they acted like moving up to D1 means they are playing Duke every week in basketball etc.  Instead it was the Summit League.  

Anyone with a brain knew that going FCS for football wasn't that massive of a jump.  Just like going from FCS to G5.  

When Bison fans latch on to something it really takes on a life of its own.  It quite impressive. Like 30K at the Metrodome for the UM game. And "nobody at FBS level will even answer our calls"  :silly:

I find it interesting in how the narrative has changed with time. :lol:

Just for the record, if NDSU goes up to "FBS", we are saying that it really isn't that big of a jump and they will do fine. Literally nobody is doubting them.

It’s a big jump but they could be respectable. They have a rapidly growing community and they have made their FB team the focus of their school. People want to associate with success and they have been very successful. They have a community where they have a local media station providing coverage of their games to the entire state and parts of Minnesota and S Dak. They have many area businesses that want to latch on and associate with that success.  They have more than enough businesses that will pay for the handful of suites, who will provide tickets, tailgating for their employees and have made their destination games and playoff games events to reconnect with former college friends and FM connections. Granted if they start to struggle things can change but they have the resources to recover faster. They have shown over the years they will do almost anything to support the program. They can likely be competitive against good FBS teams and have proven that. FBS playoffs and National Championships are a big stretch but they and other FCS and even D2 teams have proven they can recruit FBS and future NFL.  Beating the very best is a stretch though.

Luepke with only three rushing attempts a third of the way into the 2nd qtr

we will see when the su gets serious and hands him the ball

Their best player needs to be on the field at all times. Need to feed him 20 times a game as he is unstoppable. What are they resting him for next week?

they keep hammering it, in hopes that some how, some way , they can move up to FBS, and get their tails kicked just about every game

NDSU would probably be a top G5 from the get go, look at JMU. Where they get crazy is thinking they will be Big 12 in a decade!!!!

I don’t think they get their tales kicked in just like I don’t think we would get our tails kicked in.  I think both teams win more than they lose.  Recent move up history would actually back that.  The biggest difference is the understanding that your season is just for one bowl game.  They aren’t getting any more fans or charging any more for tickets than they do now. 
 

I hope while they are working on getting into Conference USA, the remaining Dakota schools and Montana schools are trying to figure out how we can make a move together than give them the finger when they ask to come back in. 

Montanas don’t want to play or recruit in the Midwest. They want to stay in the west. MWC or a FBS WAC is what they want

I agree. They will have the draw of being a FCS power that consistently have played on national TV with a high win pct. But that wears off pretty quick in a G5 that won't be fighting for national championships

Let them move up

they must make the move in all sports too

the bloviating in Fargo is unreal

Fargo, the new Detroit 

Or they could get a FB only invite which is more likely than getting a full invite to the CUSA or MWC. Regardless no invite is coming anytime soon. They better try to form their own FBS conference with MVFC teams.

Has it worn off for Boise St? App St, GSU, ….? Now the top G5 team gets in the 12 team playoff which is exactly what the G5 lacked. Moving to FBS in FB is a no brainer if they could get an invite.

First time I have tuned in to WDAY to watch a game.   Can’t tell if I’m watching Class A state championship or a college game.  Man we are fortunate with Midco

How dare you! Simple Dan is gonna chew your a….
