        A better question is why go? The costs of moving up is pretty significant- between the higher number of players, the fan requirement, and the odds of not really hitting it big. It's not as if they are assured to make the nonP5 spot every year.

        There's no chance the Big Sky moves- some of their teams make money in DI-AA when they look at former member BSU who is bleeding money. It's not that common that a team can make the jump, keep the high standard, and somehow make a bunch of money.

        And looking at Idaho and NMSU, the MW does not want more teams. Especially one so far away. The MAC has already accepted former D1AA NIU, and their members don't have deep pockets to add a distance team.

        I've had a glance at Idaho State's numbers, and would harbor a guess that NDSU makes more money now than they would in DI.

        Don't go- it's a false economy.

          Maybe. However, they are dominating at the D2 level to a point never seen before. Barring a home upset a few years ago, and they would have 9 straight championships. At some point, you would think they would want to challenge themselves.

                You're not allowed to go up as an independent. Unless you're Liberty, but that's because everyone hates Liberty and won't accept them.

                You could move up and hope to become App St, but like half their conference is teams who moved up in the last ten years. They would not find themselves in the same pool of peers in the MAC or MW.

                At the end of the day it doesn't make sense. They pay for 22 fewer scholarships, have geographic rivals, and rather than being just another G5 team, get to be THE program in FCS.

                  My source (which of course now I can't find) said the average Harvard student has $17k defrayed per year by grants (not loans). $60k > $56k.

                  As hateful as they are, HYP are actually insanely generous with their grants-in-aid. They can afford to be.

                    It may not make sense, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see them try. I know that some people within that program are pushing for a bigger stadium (read: ~30k) when they replace the Fargodome. Of course, I also know people within that program that think that they have a chance to get into the Big 12 at some point in time...

                    At the end of the day, all the teams that have ever dominated at the D2 level have moved up to D1 at some point.

                        I assume there is just a standing rule that PAC-12 officials will handle this game?
                        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
