I think the NCAA liked Frisco because it had tailgating lots plus other areas for pre-game activities. How many fans want to tailgate in below zero weather or even wait outside for the team walks from the bus into the stadium?

I think the NCAA liked Frisco because they offered a hefty bid for the game.

The FBS would be better if it wasn't doing this right now.

FBS is a case study as to why its a bad idea for almost everyone, and a really great idea for a couple people.

It brought up a good point that private equity is already all over college athletics. For instance NDSU Athletics uses Learfield, a private equity firm, to handle it's media contracts and has for a while.
