They seem to travel a good amount of fans to Frisco every year. I'm always reminded that's it's FCS championship weekend when I see folks in green and yellow all over town.

They also hosted college game day last year if I recall. Good program.

We made the mistake of trying a night out in Frisco and North Plano Saturday night. Bison fans were everywhere. Yellow and Green packed every restaurant and bar. They traveled well.

The team stayed at the hotel next to our office here. The Westin took down their flag and flew the NDSU flag on the third pole next to the American and Texas flags for the three days they were here.

Crazy.

I have a friend who works for FC Dallas, I told him that FCD should play an exhibition match in the Fargodome as a thank you.

I for one like the fact that successful FCS programs are allowed to receive votes now. Remember they are a different subdivision, not a different division. If FBS can be allowed to schedule them as bodybag games, then when a really good FCS team pulls a great season and possibly some FBS upsets then they deserve the recognition if voters feel it's valid. I wonder if the constant changes to bowl eligibility rules might ever let one or more of the top FCS teams pop into a bowl game. I know, that's the point of the championship vs. bowl subdivisions, but if there's already crossover in the schedule, and we're going to have a playoff anyway (which will hopefully expand) then there might be some open bowl spots in years to come, and if there is a NDSU or other great FCS team that could make a late season bowl work into the post-championship schedule, I'd rather see that over a 5-7 FBS team with a waiver. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want it to be a regular thing, but since most bowls are considered exhibition games anyway, it might be a kick to see a really good crossover FCS team every few years.

      UC Davis to MWC

      SAC St. should eventually get an invite from either the MWC or PAC 7. The Montana and Dakota schools seem happy in 1AA and the cost to move up is high when you add the NCAA $5 million upgrade fee, $2 million entry fee[ MWC] , 20 football scholarships, and stadium expansions to accommodate at least 25,000 fans. NDSU has a covered stadium that seats about 20,000 ( I didn't check the other 5 Dakota schools) so they might get a pass.

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      When CUSA last imploded both schools were invited to join the MAC as a package. WKU was all in, MTSU was not so they were both stuck in CUSA. N. Illinois , certainly much to my surprise, is moving to the MWC , who might be in the market for another football only school. The MAC bylaws require their members to place all their sports in the conference so unless they are changed N.Illinois must find a new home for their 'others." U.Mass is rejoining the MAC so they probably will stand pat. I think the N.Illinois victory over the Fighting Irish may have gone to their head plus their fans are tired of weeknight games that make it hard to attend for those who live out of town.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Hodge has us more than middle of the road in the AAC. We are definitely in the top 3. If it was not for a bad shooting night for our two top scorers against Memphis, we would be at the top.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      I can't disagree with anything you're saying if ACC comes poaching and we're sitting here with Rice, Tulsa, and ULM/LAT as our most local conference peers. If that is the case, and it's a somewhat likely scenario, we need to be looking into the PAC as a viable option and not hush-hush turning them down. If anything, we probably should be lifting our skirt a little bit to keep it open as an option.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Seems the b10/sec are so worried about making sure they generate the absolute most revenue versus their peers that they’ve lost sight of what excites people about college sports in the first place. Until one of them relents and settles for setting caps in spending, and potentially sharing revenue, I don’t see how this changes. I think that the power brokers believe that most current fans will just adopt their local big state or closest big brand and continue to follow college sports. Time will tell if they are right. For me, I will not. If it gets to the point where UNT no longer has a chance to be in the pool, my interest will evaporate overnight. Maybe they don’t care and assume that enough will that they’ll keep growing their own brands and revenues.
