Would NDSU be a winning, or competitive, team if it played in the Big10 every week?

If the Bison had a Big 10 budget and 85 schollies worth of legit Big 10 talent, sure, they'd be competitive.

In the meantime, they have 63 schollies and some Big 10 overlooks. It would take time. That goes without saying.

It's along the line of the stupid argument way back in the Myspace forum days were Boise naysayers would always claim that Boise couldn't "do it" every week if they magically got put into the SEC at the snap of your fingers. Yeah, no kidding. Boise had about 1/3 of the revenue (if that much) to work with back then compared to an average SEC school and were lucky to grab a smattering of California players back when they were beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Can't have it both ways. Either put NDSU on a level field or don't make the comparison.

I doubt that. As you know, Bohl was apart of Frank Solich's squads that started not to play defense. I think he wore out that welcome in Huskerdom. So, any other riveting rumors?

The point is that Dodd at CBS is saying as is. As they are today do you agree with the man or is he a silly as I think he is?

Dodd is a hack...he so misread conference realignment and he misread this. NDSU is decent but as currently constructed would be a mediocre P5 team. They would win 2 conference games at the most.
