The amount of NDSU dynasties on CFB 27 is about to be unprecedented.

Kind of sucks to see them leaving the FCS where they have a championship program to now be a program that'll probably struggle to make some shitty lower tier bowl or perhaps a mid tier bowl at best.

I understand why they're doing it, but I wish they weren't moving up.

This seems like a horrible idea for NDSU. Is the money any good out there?

Sucks to lose them in FCS but understand the move.

Hoping they become a Boise State-type program.

How on earth did the PAC not get them first?

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.


No way this is a financial decision.

They might do well in the Mountain West. It will be a pretty shitty league. All the good ones went to the PAC.

I feel like we'll never hear about them ever again.

Finally, the rest of the FCS schools have a chance to win championships again.

Not really. SDSU and the Montana schools will now win everything.

They don’t have the athletic budget and NIL donors to compete in the FBS. Should have joined 10 years ago when NIL was mostly non-existent

Wait til their Bakken oil money booster gives them 500 mil in NIL and they make a run thru the playoffs

I say peace. Hopefully this past season will be the norm.

Tarleton, the rest of the MVFC, Tennessee Tech may have something to say about that.
