I would argue that the Boise proposal would give you at least four games a year that would get viewing numbers way beyond any bowl game between comparable-level teams. The proposal is that the upper...

It didn't really. When CUSA was on the edge of imploding, they asked a bunch of schools(20+?) if they were interested. Reading between the lines, NDSU might have expressed interest in football-only...

According to the infallible source of wikipedia, only Omaha(the final 8 teams) is considered the CWS. Everything up to that is just the NCAA DI Men's Baseball Championship.

West Georgia(current D2) possibly going to the OVC instead of the ASUN. That's what he posted today in his newsletter(free this week because of paywall problems on his website).

This makes me feel dirty, but he's technically right on this point(subsidizing the FCS playoffs, not subsidizing FCS in general like he followed up with).

- As a whole, the FCS playoffs lose money...

Just another example of how geography hurts our FBS chances. Some G5 conferences put a higher emphasis on basketball than others. It just so happens that the closest G5 conferences to us are both...

It wasn't just the WAC that tried it. I can think of a couple more right off the top of my head, and I'm sure there are more I never cared to learn about.

We both got it from the same source. Strange as it may seem, there is actually one poster on the CSNBBS(other than Matt Brown) that actually knows what he's talking about.

That's not the reason, but it is linked to the coming demographic cliff. The B1G schools can see a period of dramatically reduced tuition revenue coming, so they're trying to form a super-conference...

Gonzaga to Big East, finally?

Rather than continuing to argue in circles, maybe someone wants to discuss a little bit of new news about what might come out of the DI transformational committee late this year or early next year....

If truthful, he must be getting a little creative with the criteria.

Possibilities:
Not counting Texas and Oklahoma because they're moving to the SEC.
Only counting the Big XII wrestling schools...

Fixed your post

The source was a tiny Carbondale, IN newspaper that really didn't understand what they were talking about. If they looked at UND hockey using the same system, they would have said it showed a big...

For the record, WKU and MTSU are staying. Both talked to the MAC, the MAC said yes(informally), then MTSU backed out and said they were staying in CUSA, and the MAC said it was only interested in...

I think NDSU has been fully funded* in women's sports for a decade or more. No room to grow there. Only way to add more women's scholarships at NDSU is to add more sports. Tennis is cheap. S&D is...

Right, but the poster before was talking about the 12-team proposal that was announced this summer. That proposal was designed to be implemented prior to 2025 and went up in smoke after the SEC...

Yep. 12 team is dead for now. Probably until 2025 when the contract is renewed. The 8 team and 16 team proposals are also DOA.

The problem is that we're in the middle of a contract, so I believe...

Not exactly true, but close enough. Last I heard, NDSU uses the Interests and Abilities test for Title IX and not the Proportionality test. So there isn't a "we added ten men's scholarships so we...

If there was a map out there that only showed G5 programs(I've never found one), you'd see the situation is even worse.

Also, there were reports a week or two back that the 12 team playoff was dead in the water for now. I think it needs a unanimous vote, and one or two of the committee members openly said they weren't...

Here's one for the Georgia Bulldog fans:

(as always, turn on closed captioning)

The group studying this looked at the P5/G5 divide and said that the gap between P5 and G5 football was smaller than the gap between FBS football and all other DI sports. That's why they suggested...

For the tldr crowd...

The group is suggesting that FBS football(and ONLY football) be split off into it's own thing. Big Ten basketball(or volleyball, or baseball) would still be Division I and...

Without looking into it deeper, I suspect that's because of Learfield deals. SDSU hired Learfield almost 10 years ago to handle their media rights. It's possible that the money SDSU gets in return is...
