A new and better FBS thread

[Hail bison]

I'd have a beer with you no problem, but you totally miss the facts behind this move..it's not as easy as you make it sound

He owes me a shot. Maybe we could send him to woo Harold Hamm's soon to be ex wife. Of course there is that conference thing. Could the ex wife of an oil tycoon buy a conference?

I'm already on it!! She's wearing the gold...we never lose in that color!

Georgia Southern announced its intentions to move to FBS in April of 2012. In March of 2013 is when they accepted an invite from the Sun Belt. Just saying...

^^^someone gets it.... you ANNOUNCE your "intentions" you put out "FEELERS" Publically so conferences "KNOW" you are for real......interesting concept.

We are 1 DJ fumble (brock int) from 50 STRAIGHT WINS. & 1 bad call from 4 TITLES!


WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO PRO E AT FCS LEVEL. MY GOD PEOPLE. WE ALREADY DOMINATED FCS!

Do you actually have a life? Serious question.

NDSU FOOTBALL SELLS I bet they could raise $100 million in 1 year if a concentrated effort was made.

$10 million from scheels Sanford rdo
$5 million from pro seed, bobcat, burgum NDSU student fees.

That's $50million.
1000 donors at $2000/year over 20 years= $40 million.
500 donors at $500/year over 20 years = $10 million.

Bada Bing, Bada BOOM

I'm just gonna repost this anytime someone asks where to get money for a FBS move or stadium fund.

1- That doesn't raise $100M in one year. You say so in your own post (1000 donors at $2000/year over 20 years is $2M in one year, not $40M).
2- You are always going to have more donors at the lower price threshold than the higher one, so you should have 500 donors at $2000/year ($1M) and 1000 donors at $500/year ($.5M).
3- You will either need a helluva lot more than $100M to make the move with a new stadium or quite a bit less to make the move without a new stadium.


Not sure why everyone is having a problem with this "discussion" - at least the talk is mainly contained to this thread. I'm in the wait and see camp, but I know what to expect when I click on this thread. Actually, I wish I could unblock El_Chapo for this thread only.

That also was the year NCAA changed the rule for moving to FBS requires a conference invite. They could have gone independent if some odd reason SB bailed on them.

Also pretty sure they had a good idea they would receive the invite I think they did the announcement so that if sun belt didn't take them they technically could still have gone FBS. Their geography helps too as they are in footprint of a couple FBS conferences. NDSU doesn't except for P5 fringes and we all know we're not getting into a P5.

Just LOOK at the garbage teams/programs in the fcs! NDSU has zero zero zero business with them!

Ohio St. tickets average sale price on the secondary market is over $260 bucks. Their stadium must not be big enough either. Killing the program.

Football stadiums don't get much bigger than 100,000.........but 19,000 is nothing for size.
