if the NCAA pulls out today of NCAA championships today.......

NDSU and FCS teams can still go ahead playing their conference games and FBS games.

In fact, fcs teams might take on more than 1 or 2 FBS games as they wont need to worry about playoff or records.


FCS teams still willing to play can still come together as a group and contact Frisco about a 4 or 8 team championship bowl series with 4 quarters, 2 semifinals and 1 title game in Frisco

maybe have the semifinals in a fun neutral site

With no contracts in place to honor (other than Oregon) or fans in the stands, an added FBS game is not going to pay squat to play and FCS team in 2020. And, teams will only travel by bus . . . so why would an FBS game even be discussed? The only drivable games would be TC, Madison, Lincoln, ICity, or Ames. The B1G isn't going to play you. Not worth your breath on this Chap.

Fuck a regular season. Let's find 64 FCS teams willing to participate in March Madness style tournament. Shit-ass schools like UND can hang a banner as a 2020 FCS playoff participant. We can get this regionalized, quarantine the final 4 for a couple weeks at the end. It'll be sweet and the FBS will be jealous.

Even though it's a pipe dream, I'd LOVE something like that, Chapo.

Could make it shorter if needed

World Cup style!

Say 40 teams opt in, do 8 5-team groups. Sort by Sag Ratings in 2019 into 5 pots of 8 teams each, 1 team from each pot randomly drawn into a group and each team gets 2 home 2 away games. At end of 4 games, group winner gets bye, 2nd place gets home game vs random 3rd place. 24 team playoff from there on in

Big teams not able to pay because of no fans smells like BS with TV contracts to fill.

NDSU saves the cost playing them at home. If could get some TV payout then offer to share some revenue and a *likely* [emoji12] D1 win for the opponent.

What program who is not making money off fan revenue at the game is going to pay a formidable payout to bring NDSU in and lose? No program is going to accrue more football expenses going to Fargo to play and likely lose. People aren't thinking about this situation rationally.

The likelyhood of a season, playoff, and championship in the spring is questionable at best.

If an independant NDSU with the help of ESPN and FS1 (CBS/Fox/ABC?) could coordinate 3+ p5 games- 2 at home and 3+ FCS/G5 to maintain some kind of a season and a bit of normalcy? I’d be on board. Do it without NCAA like the big boys. Show them NDSU is one of them.

This is the time to do it. TV should be screaming for games, but of course the pro ratings have been junk- for other reasons.

Show the country a team (with the best QB and LT in the country) that just wants to play football- win or loose, and keep the politics out of it. The ratings will be there.

Of course this would require a lot of confidence.

Yep- that would be the trick of working an independant TV contract or two or three to get enough revenue to pay a teams expense. Get some teams that should be confident playing NDSU for a win.

There is a reason ABC/ESPN shows NDSU on their ESPN3 commercials. Outside UFC i would guess NDSU is one their biggest draws.

This is such BS on ADML's part. If we could have scheduled a P5 and were paid enough to completely cover travel expenses and testing protocals we should have taken it! This reeks of small time thinking. There is no chance football will be played in the spring. It's not going to logistically work for most Midwestern and northern schools.

1) Are you saying there was an offer similar to what you are insinuating on the tab;e? Because I am pretty sure there wasn't. Any P5 game that was even thought of by both sides basically was a direct result of fiscal loss for the visiting team.
2) Do you stand with the opinion that Spring football is not going to happen and you want to play this fall? You would blow a year of eligibility forthe players this year for something like 6-7 meaningless games and no championship opportunity?

Eligibility will be gone whether we play or not thanks to the 5 year clock rule so getting in 6-7 games is significantly better than 0. Missouri State and SIU who were recently scheduled to play OU and KU respectively in week 1 are both getting paid 300,000. That's half of what we signed up for in Oregon but is probably pretty damn close to what ADML turned down.

The clock stopped for spring athletes last year, the NCAA is going to do the same for fall athletes as well if there is no season. There is no lost season of eligibility.

I don't believe any team is going to pay NDSU anything close to what they would pay MSU and SIU. Nothing close whatsoever.

When I first heard about the postponement of the MVFC, the explanation I heard was that there weren't going to be enough conferences playing in order to have an FCS national championship. So what? It's not like the quality of FCS football is equally distributed throughout the conferences. The FCS playoff is pretty much a MVFC tournament with a few Jimmies added in. If the MVFC were to play its season in the fall, just declare the conference winner as the national champion. The only difference from previous years would be more free weekends this year in December and January.

You're not wrong. NCAA is just delaying the inevitable because of the financial impact it will have. There's no way they could work a season on so many levels. The kids want to play but they want the NCAA to "guarantee their safety against the Coronavirus". The NCAA can't do that. Nobody can do that. If they try to move on with the season, MLB shows us they won't have enough teams to finish out the season who can play anyways. Players will either be in the hospital with the virus, have the virus, be quarantined recovering from the virus at home, or be quarantined from exposure. I can't believe people are this stupid where they don't understand that.

NDSU92
08-10-2020, 07:38 PM
To me it’s pretty obvious that the NCAA was told by the P5 that they weren’t allowed to cancel football. I’m sure it was “if you cancel, we’re creating our own org”. Since the NCAA couldn’t forcibly cancel all non-FBS football this fall they had to “leave it up to each division”. Which is when you saw D2 and D3 cancel immediately and FCS didn’t last long after. The sad part is that it shouldn’t have taken 5 months for them to come out with what they call a plan.

Read the interview with Choate at Montana State. Football in the spring wouldn't work like it can for other other fall sports and isn't fair to the players. We should try and go this fall and if doesn't work because infections get out of hand then kill it off until next year.

Lol. If it were to happen, Nebraska isn’t paying NDSU more than the going rate for a FBS game. They will pocket all that cash themselves.

With so few schools actually wanting to play football, maybe, just maybe...…..NDSU could be in a position of strength here and negotiate a better deal than the norm. Just a thought.

20x more than the norm? Lol

Let me be the first to say if the going rate was 10 million a game there would be a few more FCS schools playing this fall.

For 10 million there would be a line of FBS and FCS schools. Lol.

Plus, a FBS school isn’t paying 10 million to potentially get beat.

Did I say 10 mill? No...….you're the one tossing around numbers. I'm saying NDSU may be in a position to negotiate a better deal than the norm...….what's the norm? 600K vs Oregon?

I’ll bite on this non-happening pay-per-view hypothetical: It would be a publicity nightmare on Nebraska’s part if they negotiated $10 million for themselves and $600k for NDSU.

Isn’t the biggest value of being in a conference:

1. Playing games (consistent rivalries etc)?

2. Getting a nice contract on tv group negotiated and shared revenue to prop all up) for playing those games?

If the conference is not allowing the games, not sure how tv payout will look... or any other additional revenue from conference games vs. independent.

But the finger wagging is another nice benefit.

College football still owns Saturday tv.

It's a given that media companies have billions with b available if they think folks will watch.

10 million was thrown around earlier in the thread in regards to a PPV event. I’d say the norm dropped to 300K for games signed in the last couple months to be played this year.

The NFL is going to fill Saturday's this fall if there are no college games. Bank on it!

If you had a choice, would you pick 3 road FBS games or 1 road FBS game and 2 homes?

3 FBS games, the AD needs the money now more then ever, the players look forward to those games and we haven't been able to schedule them lately. Might as well take advantage of this pandemic if we can.........


even though I know no games will be played.

And that's why the remaining schools need to keep/get new games on the schedule.

Culhane/Jeremy float the NDSU at Nebraska football game as $50 Pay Per View with their convo with Nebraska husker online guy at noon today. they were joking...... but I think it would freakin work

1 million @ $50 = $50 Million ! TV station gets $20mil, Nebraska gets $20mil, NDSU gets $10million

Nebraska loses $40 million when the Big 10 kicks them to the curb.

Easy fix: Nebraska goes back to Big 12 and we replace them in Big 10, making that conference even better. #UnsureOfPurpleFont

Three FBS road games, gotta think the seniors would take that in a heartbeat considering the outlook right now. Play one game a month, go 2-1 and maybe just maybe we could petition the NCAA to allow us to play a bowl game if the Covid situation let's up...Yes it's all doubtful but let's dream big and would send the seniors and Trey out in style.

Sign me up for the 3 FBS games. This 2020 team is possibly one of the greatest Bison rosters ever. Would be nice to see them line up against "the big boys" & see how they do. I believe they can compete & then some
