Gotcha. I think we may have to wait until the inevitable split between P2/4 and G6 happens. At that point, things will reorganize.Quote:

Well, this is one way to go about moving from FCS to FBS (complete opposite of how NDSU admin has handled it): https://x.com/JakeGadon_TV/status/1877127976623427780
We'll see how it works...

The P4 want to take over the NCAA it appears. Of note:
'The proposal from the power conferences does not signal the long-discussed breakaway from the national association, Sankey and other commissioners say, and there remains a commitment to continue to grant broad access to postseason events.'
This part's really interesting:Quote:

However, that presents another problem: The power leagues and NCAA entered into a 10-year agreement as part of the House settlement, binding the entities together through 2035."
Great - if they want to take their ball and run they can take their House settlement with it since the rest of us are helping to pay their bill on that one.Quote:

Watch what they do not what they say.
PAC 12 is looking again.
MWC and AAC are obviously afraid to ADD NDSU at this point, Its clearly obvious they don't want little ol NDSU to walk in and Dominate on DAY 1.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
PAC 12. NDSU GOES ALL IN. YOU CALL PAC 12 and say
"WE WANT IN THE PAC 12, ALL SPORTS WE WILL FORGO THE 1st 3 years of Media $$$ payout if you ALLOW NDSU to keep its local/regional media deal"
However, NDSU keeps all money from the BOWL GAMES we make it to in the first 6 years!
Negotiate This or Whatever else needs to be done, OFFER to pay for their Charter Flights and Hotels. TIME FOR NDSU and FARGO TO GROW UP!!!!!
(if we need to build a on campus stadium or down at the Civic Center and make it a riverfront stadium plaza for business development so be it!!)
“I need to be dictator so that I can make sure it’s fair for everyone” is one of the funniest tricks in the bookQuote:

Yep, P2/4 are trying to find a way to structure/dump that debt, while keeping lion share of profits and spreading a few crumbs around elsewhere.Quote:

MSU RB's already grabbing P2/4 offers: https://www.si.com/college/westvirgi...virginia-offer
We're now a farm league for the semi-pros. Deion Sanders outright said it.
