A new and better FBS thread

[El_Chapo]

you don't need a war chest or anything, just a valid arguement. The ncaa doesn't give a shit how many teams are in the fbs and neither do the power players. If you want to be an indy and can pay the money to join, nobody is going to stop you.

lets goooooo

Good news is it should be easier to schedule FBS games now.

Book'em 10 years out while we can. Unfortunately won't help get us into a FBS conference quicker.
Just hope Colorado doesn't embarrass us too badly next year.

To me it sounded like he was referencing the fact that they are now splitting the TV $$ with 4 new schools and therefore "paying" $40m over the next 8 years to have those schools join the BigXII. It's costing them in lost income not payments out.

This is accurate. The unstated piece is that the Big 12 needed to do this to destroy the PAC-12. The Big 12 is betting on being in a better position for the next round of negotiations.

The really good news is that Colorado is absolutely going to overlook us, so there’s that…

Hope you are right. I want to win this one more than SDSU almost. It's a rare opportunity.

Colorado has a lot of advantages, and they improved a lot this year. I expect them to be even better next year. Not sure if I can say the same for us. Winning this game would make a huge statement nationally.

JMU is ranked #25. THAT COULD BE NDSU!

Conference matters.

If we joined MWC, AAC, or SBC, yes. Air Force (#19), Tulane (#22), JMU all ranked, because they lead those conferences.
Liberty is undefeated, and nobody really gives a shit about them. Same could be said for Jacksonville St.

If the season ended today, the NY6/CFP bid is going to MWC/Air Force.

And they'll still end up in some loser bowl nobody cares about.
