If a team is looking to schedule an FCS school, you are most likely looking for an easy, warm up game which NDSU typically has not been. The games that have been scheduled currently for NDSU were scheduled before they started winning national championships, and they have been struggling to schedule FBS games since. Why not pay an FCS team you know for certain you can beat, since FCS wins are basically grouped the same and it's not like you move up the polls if you beat NDSU or if you beat some terrible FCS program. The big schools are not scared of NDSU nor do they think they will lose, but the possibility is there, and why take that chance like Minnesota has done twice and Kansas State last year.
Wisconsin is referenced in the link, but Nebraska gets the call out even more.

“I have talked to quite a few schools who say ‘Yes, we want an FCS game but we don’t want you guys,†Jorgenson said. “That conversation has occurred quite a few times with schools from the Power 5 conferences. That’s a product of our success.â€

It may be next to impossible to schedule a Big Ten opponent, especially with a commissioner who is urging his teams to avoid scheduling FCS opponents. That leaves schools like Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska out of the mix.
Did you read the article?
These teams are not refusing to play you, their conference is telling them not to play your entire division. My guess is all of the power5 teams will move in this direction.

NDSU will get $350,000 for playing at Iowa State this season. It will get $500,000 for playing at Iowa in 2016.
They told me on their board it was scheduling and play-off structure that forced NDSU to move to the FCS. The scheduling issue may push them even further. They do have a market large enough to support an FBS move but they need a conference and eventually a stadium unless they plan on becoming idaho or something.
If it is all supply and demand and someone else can offer a better (easier win) product than you can you could try to beat them on price. Perhaps you should offer to pay 'Bama to play you at their house.
Did you read the quote I posted? It specifically said Jorgensen has talked to power 5 conferences that said they WANT to play an FCS game, but do not WANT to play NDSU. It doesn't get simpler than that. I am not sure which P5 teams he was talking about, it might not be Nebraska or Wisconsin. The B10 very well might not play NDSU because of their scheduling philosophy, but the quote I was referring to just said P5 conference teams that WANT an FCS games do NOT want to play NDSU. We do not know which ones those are, but they are P5 schools.
Because of that cannon of an arm that Wentz has. 6 for 10 for 31 yards shows he can bomb it down the field.
What a bunch of *******.I heard the New England Patriots won't schedule them either. Belichick must be scared...
Once ISU beats that @$$ again this year, I have no problem scheduling and beating NDSU every year after that. The only problem is the possibility of having Lakes and these threads every year. That would be annoying...
Not to sound like a jerk.. put pointing two things out. I would love to schedule you ever year also.. the money is great for our Athletetic dept.. but if we beat you too many years, you would probably steal our coach :unsure:
IF???? you haven't beaten us once.
Did you guys beat up on Wyoming too much? Cause they 'stole' your coach.
I was just pointing out the fact that, your guys Athelte budgets are alot more than NDSU's. We kind of rely on FBS oppenants for the money. We also can't keep up with you guys when it comes to dollars and cents in coaching salaries either.
Also that was why the word if was used. I dont have a crystal ball in front of me, to see the future. The game will be settled on the field. I only responded to the other guy saying he had no problem scheduling and beating NDSU for years.
