John-o-logue: Jacks & Yotes dream football scenario for five years from now

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

For a decade, North Dakota State officials, (some) Bison fans, and prominent Fargo media dreamed of the Bison graduating from the dominance of the FCS to a new life in higher stakes FBS.   Now, it is a reality, with the "pinch me" moment coming on Tuesday, when Mountain West commissioner Gloria Nevarez and other league officials toured Fargo and the NDSU campus on Tuesday and, predictably, had glowing things to say.   In just over six months, the Bison will be mixing it up with teams like UNLV, New Mexico Air Force, Hawaii, San Jose State, Wyoming, UTEP, and Northern Illinois. In some cases, they'll be going to those places.   And some of those games will be on national TV regularly. The Bison are expected to "win, baby, win" right away. Should they win big, they might be playing in primetime on FOX for the league title and maybe even a G6-saved spot in the College Football Playoff.   Should this make South Dakota State and USD envious? Should it make their school leaders hellbent on putting the resources in place to attract FBS leagues in the coming years?   Which league would be most attractive — Mountain West, American, or the newly Sac'd-Up MAC?    Or with only two combined national titles — both at SDSU — should the Jackrabbits and Coyotes put their time and energy into only competing for easier-to-attain Missouri Valley Football Conference and national titles forever and ever and ever?   Should they win at least one national title before feeling like it is time to take the plunge?   That's the focus of Wednesday's "John-o-logue" on "Happy Hour with John Gaskins." The host gives his opinions and delivers some feedback from the fans of both teams.
