Mike McFeely on Bison's big leap, competition level, leaving rivalries behind, the money involved

To understand better why the Bison made the move and why it appears most fans, boosters, and administration is on board with the FBS leap, veteran Fargo reporter and columnist Mike McFeely joined Happy hour for literally an hour.   Why is it such a slam dunk move for NDSU to go to a level that some perceive is barely above the Missouri Valley Football Conference? Why give up decades-old rivalries with neighboring peer institutions in the Dakotas and legitimate chances to play for national championships (and add to the trophy case of 10) in exchange for either a long shot at competing in the College Football Playoff — Group of Six squads James Madison and Tulane were destroyed by Power Four schools in this past season's first round — or a second-tier (or lower) bowl game?   Is the Mountain West really that awesome?  For five years, McFeely has been making his case for NDSU to take a "moonshot" at the FBS, and he and plenty of Bison backers now have their wish. Enjoy an entertaining hour from his point of view.
