I have several co-workers in the DFW area since we used to have an office in Plano and most of them would ask me if I was making the trip to Frisco.  We did get to 5 of the championship games -- 2 when we lived in Oregon and then three after moving back to Fargo.  Plenty of football fans are not NDSU alums like our neighbors who didn't go to any college.

Several means many, numerous and multiple of something!

Several means more than 2 and less than a few. Generally considered to be between 3 and 7.  $25 million, now that's a number!

This thread is titled Non-UND FCS News/Scores. 

I propose it sticks to that and another thread could be created for News/Scores for teams that are not UND and not FCS for people that want to discuss that.

It’s 2026. Time to close this thread and start a 2026 non-UND college football thread.

Doesnt look like the investigations that you had envisioned is what you were looking for.

Good effort.

There was no investigation. UND self reported and turned everything in themselved.

Let me know if enrollment is going to be the same number for the fourth year in a row or if ndsu is going to pretend to start monitoring their Title IX compliance. If every school who did anything remotely in the realm of what UND admitted to, the whole membership of the NCAA would be in violation.

I literally don’t get what is exciting about the playing the MWC rejects. If that league loses UNLV and or air force then that league is literally #3 in the FCS rankings. NDSU can’t afford true big boy football (p4) and 10k enrollment isn’t going to help them much in the G6…..

they paid 18 milly to get to choose their travel partner when the mwc loses unlv af and unm and they backfill with um, msu, idaho, maybe a texas school.... and one of und, sdac, or usd.....

with a travel partner.....maybe...gotta be 2 for 1's.....

fly in to Fargo...then either an hour north or 2 hours south......

they'll go south

[ND-fan]

What do mean having travel partner how does that reduce travel costs for teams ? I can see it for golf and maybe track but I don’t see it for football and basketball. I must be missing something in travel partners.

UNLV / Air Force are gone whenever the MW uses up their reserve. Here's where I'm stuck a bit about future members. NDSU (& Sac State) have set this precedent about paying a large $ amount to join an FBS conference. Using the MW for example, if their last remaining "premier" teams leave and they have to backfill, wouldn't paying that new entry fee become a necessity? Their TV deal will either stay the same or decrease moving forward. These schools need additional revenue from somewhere. Good news becomes, if you can pay, you're in.

Unlv,New Mexico, Air Force will be gone as soon as they can be

dont count on UND getting an invite from the MWC, ndsu will see to that 

I see Texas team getting the invites with Montana’s and sdsu 

I can’t see why northern Illinois was such a great get 

I’m sure the powers that be will want the ac to go full mountain west which I am for, let them ring up those expenses.

This is where you, me, our friend @SIOUXFAN97 all agree. Unfortunately, the only people that might not be aware how bad of a position they are in on the pecking order is the UND "leadership", the word leadership intentionally in quotes.

Really kind of like your BSC experience, oh wait that was all sports.
