    Default The Big 5, the Mountain West, and NDSU

    I am not an NDSU to FBS guy. I enjoy what we are doing now and let the chips fall where they may. But as I was thinking about this week, it occurred to me that NDSU may have some work to do.

    IF the rumblings come to be, and the FBS splits and the Big 5 take their ball and leave, I think most of us feel that NDSU should be in that second level of football. And although we feel like we could field a competitive team but what about the institution? Think about it guys, Wyoming just took our coach because we couldn't compete financially. If the split happens, these guys will be our peers, not a level up. We just got our lunch money taken by one of our possible future competitors. I think we got some work to do.

    BCS money is peanuts compared to TV contract money. Mountain West TV contract is crap compared to the Big 5.

    And what happens with their bigger salaries if they don't receive that money?

    BCS/Playoff money does flow down to them. Not sure on the amounts though.

    BCS game payouts are about $17M, but get split up between conference teams.

    TV contract payouts are $20+ per school for the Big 5. The SEC will be at around $30M each for the upcoming year for TV alone.

    The Mountain West TV contract I think ends up being about $1.2M per member.

    So the BCS kicks in about 1.5 million. Hey it pays for a coach. Is that only happen if Boise St. gets there?

    TV contracts are the big money maker. Each team in the Big ten received $25M from the Big Ten network last year. Kinda nice I would say.
