Right, my point was historically FCS playoffs have had negative revenue/profit on NCAA side and been subsidized. That was the driver for regionalization, it was simply a cost containment measure by NCAA. If the NCAA collected revenues supported longer trips for everyone they could end regionalization entirely and fully seed the bracket.Quote:

The NCAA get what ever the bid was or 70% of ticket sales which ever is greater. If I remember correctly.Quote:

Let the wild-ass speculation begin. I suspect we’ll know something this week, about more than just the PAC. NMSU makes the most sense to me and would qualify as a “bombshell”. I guess we’ll find out this week how tapped in these guys are … they are quite bullish on NDSU to MWC
NMSU seems more like a dud tbh.Quote:

NMSU to the PAC would make no sense for the PAC.Quote:
