Digging pretty deep into the archive there …
So yes, it's laughable

Ha, totally got me. Didn't bother looking at the date and quite frankly I wouldn't have remembered seeing news about North Carolina A&T if I had.

Stupid Sicatoka
Re: A new and better FBS thread
Missed the date on that.
But to see NC A&T making that noise even then is a head-scratcher.

It's becoming clear NDSU leadership wants to do this right, and not settle for some pansy ass conference like CUSA or ASun/WAC. They are wiser than most people here give them credit for.
The AAC currently gets 7 million per school. They renegotiated in 2019 and runs through 2031-2032. Mountain West is 4 million per school. Losing Louisville and Cincinatti could impact it

Re: A new and better FBS thread
apparently the NDSU president will be commenting on a FBS question on the WDAY news this hour. Doubtful it will be big news, but I'm interested in hearing what he says.

lakes finally got us in the big 12 i got the texts
Re: A new and better FBS thread
That was a pretty bad segment. President's comments appeared to be more about the budget situation than a FBS move.
The reporter did say that NDSU would "entertain calls" from conferences, or something like that.
There does seem to be a subtle shift in the outward positioning from NDSU officials. Not sure what that means.

I doubt it since half the football and basketball games are on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The rest of the games are ESPN+. That would be like putting a KVLY or WDAY Broadcast on ESPN :rofl: The AAC Conference Championship game was on ABC, in New Orleans on a Saturday. The comference winner gets to host. Do the Fargodome on ABC on a Saturday
Maybe thats true for Olympic Sports which are all on ESPN+
