NDST might take a hit but their 5 year consecutive championship run will forever be legendary! They did it with powerhouse mostly white teams directly as a result of other major programs ignoring regional talent! Though they did become more caste at the skill positions after success (ala Boise St., Wisconsin, etc. )
Basically I think highly of The Bison and the program they've built. They could move up to D1 and easily make a bowl their first year (App. St. ) But I'm also thrilled to see teams like Iowa and Iowa St, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota(Fleck seems better? ) open their eyes to the talent around them and bring in some local talent! Plenty left to go around still to the Dakota schools in FCS and the Minnesota schools in D2!
