2015 schedule

[Herd12]

This might be a dumb question, but are we trying to schedule a 4th non-conference game for 2015 or are we good with the 8 conference games +3 non-con? Seems like an opportunity for a 7th regular season home game.

There's only 12 Saturdays next year between Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving so, per NCAA rules, back to 11 game schedules (until 2019 I think).

i know what game I'd buy out so NDSU can give Carson a shot in his senior year to showcase his skills vs a big school please!

Didn't Carson already do that this year at Iowa State? Also, why the hell would we buy out of a home game?!! And why would be go on the road and not have 6 home games?!! How can anyone take anything you say seriously when you have this stupid logic.

So that rule only applies to FCS, and not to the so called big dogs in FBS? Why doesn't the NCAA just make one set of rules for the pampered FBS schools and another for the majority of all other member schools?

That could be college gameday #3 if we four peat and are undefeated.

Why would we want to have game day come here when we play UN_. We want to showcase our team not share the attention with those from up north. I am against playing them too, we are just helping build them up with this game and the pay day that we are giving them. Let them suffer without us.

That has everything to do with the playoffs. FBS teams, for the most part, play their last regular season games Thanksgiving weekend with some teams finishing up the next week. FCS leagues who compete in the playoffs can only play 11 games most years in order to be eligible to compete in the playoffs since they have to be done by the Sunday before Thanksgiving. In years like this year FBS teams have 2 or 3 bye weeks prior to bowl season.

So by that argument we did incarnate word and Deleware State a HUGE favor. They should be FCS powerhouses anytime soon! This is bigger than the team from up north.
