    Fleck on NIL, Season Results, Next Year, & Indiana

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

    Then again, Sacramento State is trying to buy its way into FBS (proposing to pay a $10M entry fee) ... so if that happened, then adding South Dakota State as another football only maybe makes sense.

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

    It would make sense if they hadn't already added Northern Illinois as a football-only member. NDSU and SDSU left the old North Central conference together and then formed the (stop gap) Great West conference along with UC Davis (now joining the new MW as a full member) and Cal Poly. Created the...

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

    Wyoming and New Mexico were OG founding members of the WAC with Utah, BYU, Arizona, and Arizona State. They were part of the OG group that left to form the Mountain West in the first place, to get away from the lower schools that were in the WAC at the time it had ballooned to 16 teams. How...

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

    American is closer to what the new Pac 12 will be. I'd say the nP12 is maybe going to be the best of the G6 (P12, MW, MAC, CUSA, SB, AAC). CUSA is at the bottom. Sun Belt maybe a quarter step up, new MW and MAC maybe a half step up, if that.

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

    Bold: I have a feeling that the gears were set in motion some years ago based on ideas that made a lot more sense with the MW configuration from before. Now, it doesn't make a ton of sense to me. They're saying that being the MAC limits their revenue potential. Again, this kind of language...

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

    Disagree, but suppose we'll see. Felt like Iowa State recruited a lot of the same guys NDSU would.

    NDSU for agriculture/animal/vet, which granted falls a lot under the S of STEM you already mentioned, but I view it as more its own thing apart from the usual hard science and eng/technology fields than not. Brings in USDA research money, like every state's ag school does. (Think every state...

    The hiring of KAM was the same attempt at thing like in the movie "Moneyball". That's exactly what it was. It just didn't work. That's OK. Massive credit goes to the Wilfs for recognizing that it wasn't working, and correcting course. Easily some of the top owners in the league, by any...

    Every person in the building and front office has more than zero blame. Flores has more than zero blame, for the shortcomings of defensive FA and draft picks since he's been here. KAM's share of the blame on the things he was fired for (I listed above ... note the lack of specifically...

    It was an absolute treat to listen to Seifert debunk Dan's fake attempts to stir up crap that isn't there in the slightest. Dan: "I read it somewhere, I can't remember now, someone national not local ... but isn't that true?" Seifert: "No, no ... I certainly don't think it was like that. I...

    What spineless are you and Dan making up??? Kwesi was fired for: being the decision maker on some terrible drafts, being the decision maker on a terrible 2025 FA class, for not getting Dan Jones signed, for being disconnected with the rest of the building, and for just in general not having...

    Dan is going off the rails trying to pretend, if not outright lie, that writers are saying something like "all blame lies with KAM, everyone else -- especially KOC -- is off the hook!" in order to fabricate justification to talk about something more juicy than what is actually there. Pretty...

    Where you're being dishonest is pretending that it's been like since 1978 that we haven't won one. We just did in 2020. We'll be just fine if we win another one in 2026.

    Then why aren't they scheduling South Dakota State? Why are they scheduling a weak FCS? It's inexcusable.

    Vikings won a playoff game in 2020 (the 2019 season). Sure, we're due for another and it needs to be 2026 season. If you're trying to pretend that most franchises win playoff games every 2-3 years, that's just a lie. Agree that it has been pretty wild how much the NFC has cycled through teams...

    Most fanbases don't get to celebrate playoff victories every year for several years in a row. I'm willing to give KOC another year and if we don't win a playoff game, I'd like to put Flores as head coach and defensive playcaller and get a new offensive playcaller.

    It seemed you were saying that in the previous post. I read more carefully and now I do not think that. But it still doesn't ever excuse scheduling a weak FCS team. Probably is that there is no reasonable way to distinguish that, so it is much, much easier to just say no FCS teams.

    Hey legal guys, please weigh in on Darian Mensah

    This is mostly nothing to do specifically with Duke, like they cooked up this scheme that no one could even comprehend before. This is very much just the F'ed up state of college football, at the moment.
