The attitude of football on this board really irritates me though and thank goodness the public football playing universities in the MVC don't feel the same way. The Missouri Valley the past few years in football is probably the best it has ever been in history and no one on here even seems to even care. Everyone just dogs it on here because it is not FBS.
Like in the 2014 season, out of every single MVFC school, the conference only lost 2 games to other FCS opponents and one of those losses was in the playoffs (INST to Chattanooga in the second round). Then we had the MVFC / National Championship game on ESPN2 which is a pretty big deal. I'm just not too sure how you can hate football so much whenever our member schools are having a lot of success in it. I'm also not sure why people don't want NDSU and SDSU as full MVC members. Yes they are football schools, but they also have pretty good basketball. Just because you have football or don't have football doesn't mean anything. There are lots of schools out there that don't have football and are terrible at basketball.
