NDSU's Bresciani was on that. I'm surprised more information about that isn't flowing in local media.

For G5s it's about survival and costs. KSU was in the middle of C-USA's footprint and they needed a warm body to stay above FBS minimum 8 teams (if they get poached again) so it was a no-brainer.
For P5s (now P2?) it's about Teflon coating and Lexan lining the armored bank vault and revenue streams (OU/UT to SEC and USC/UCLA to B1G are no-brainers under that criteria).

Better late then never eh. Just like the busses eh. The fm area will figure it out eh.

Pretty soon the only FCS schools left will be Presbyterian, Valpo, and NDSU. Maybe Moorhead State can move up to FCS so we have some company.

Every conference in FBS has representatives on the D1 Transformation Committee and every single one of them stands by each other to remain as Football Bowl Subdivision leagues. Sankey himself understanding that his league's actions were fully responsible for what happened to Conference USA stands by Commissioner Judy MacLeod and recognizes Conference USA's right to do whatever they need to do to remain viable. Greg is actually pretty sympathetic in that regard. I know it's not what you want to hear, but that that's okay. You'll get over it.

Would also be super shitty of the sun belt and others to raid CUSA like they did and then after the fact make it impossible for CUSA to survive. There’s already enough anti-trust legislation that somehow is being avoided

Obviously you do care or else you wouldn't have mentioned it with interesting word choices and tone. I especially found amusing "slam the door on CUSA" and the "unworthy FCS teams." I guess Kennesaw, Sam Houston, & Jacksonville State will be skipping communion for a while until they repent for wanting to better their universities as a whole by being in a better position for athletics.

I never saw CUSA as a viable home for NDSU and I followed D1 CFB for decades before I started paying any attention to FCS. That’s where the ire you detect is coming from. What your conference is doing to survive – calling up low-level FCS teams with minimal followings in already saturated markets – is bad for the subdivision, plain and simple

So yes, from that angle I care, but like you say, I’ll get over it
