    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    It was, but I think there were some improvements to the dome as well. My personal opinion on the place, FWIW, is that it's dark and depressing.

    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    I'm not positive, but I think there were some other things. NDSU games were a massive tailgating party for years, and I think they've really cracked down on it in the last decade or so. I know there have been a lot of complaints about the dome, and ticket prices for the overall experience. A...

    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    Their fan base has grown increasingly apathetic over the past decade or so. I know personally a number of people who dropped their season tickets because watching them pound the likes of Murray State just wasn't much fun. And interestingly enough, playoff games often didn't sell out even...

    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    This is true. As I understand it, NDSU's enrollment is pretty stagnant, while UND, which is the larger school, has been growing. I drove through both campuses this summer, and I was surprised at how nice UND's campus is these days. Granted, the weather at both schools is absolutely horrible in...

    Either you're trolling like an idiot, or you don't realize that the Summit, the MWC and the B1G are all at the same level in sports other than football. The FBS/FCS split is for football only. So there is no "growing up." They are simply staying in a conference in their other sports that is more...

    Because it's city-owned, the residents get to vote on improvements, and they recently voted them down.

    They're already associate members of the Big 12 for Wrestling I believe. The stadium is going to be an issue in the near term. I haven't been in there in about 10 years, but as I understand it, it's really dated at this point, and hasn't been well maintained either. Imagine a building of a...

    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    [Thamel] Sources: North Dakota State has agreed to a deal to join the Mountain West in football only for 2026. The school is expected to pay nearly $12 million to join the league, which is in addition to the $5 million it will pay the NCAA to move to FBS. That is a LOT of money.

    I would suspect that to be the case. Just like wealthier kids in the Hopkins district generally OE into Minnetonka.

    Woog never won a natty either. I'll never understand why people put that loser on a pedestal like they did.

    That guy would be Herb Brooks. And yes, Motzko should be canned after this season.
