I mean good for them but that’s just calling it game over. No G5 conference will ever call them up. Which is fine if that’s what you want.NDSU athletics not joining NCAA 'opt in' financial model

Winning national championships in a de facto division 2 isn’t something the casual viewer cares about either. I don’t know, nor care, who wins d2 basketball championships.
Casual viewer maybe, but the fanbase certainly does. They draw very well.
Because they know themselves and don't see the value in moving up.
Bingo. They draw a ton locally and are the only show in town. That's their bet. Going 13-2 at fcs is a lot more smart than 7-6 in the sun belt
Big Sky and Missouri Valley football have a pretty good thing going. Great rivalries all over, do really well locally, some casual recognition for schools in middle America even if not as big as FBS.
Don't know for certain, but my guess is they don't carry nearly as much debt as a mid-tier G5 program.
