How did a school I’ve never heard of get so good so quick? Couldn’t have happened 10-20 years ago. They’d have had to build up. But now you can go get 30-35 out of the portal, suit ‘em up and if they fit together pretty good, you’re in business.

NDSU moved from DII and was immediately at the top of FCS. It's not so hard to imagine Lindenwood moving up and being competitive, especially with the ease of recruiting transfers now.
