A new and better FBS thread

[IndyBison]

So Adam V's son, who probably grew up considering "home" as MA (Pats) or IN (Colts), picked living in MA versus SD?

Amherst over Brookings?
Whodathunkit.

Exactly! We have no idea what the key factors are due these kids. UMass is an excellent school regardless of football. Maybe he likes the New England area. It's not necessarily a knock on SDSU.

I worked one of his games this year and talked with Adam at halftime. He spoke positively of kicking at Dakotah Field. The game was a week before the Marker game so no opportunity to talk smack!

AJ's high school coach played at Montana State and is married to a girl from Minot. She's the younger sister of a classmate. Lots of Dakota around the field that night!

Everyone remembers Adam Vinatieri, the legendary NFL field goal kicker who went to SDSU. Adam also had a nephew that was a field goal kicker for SDSU a few years back. So the Vinatieri family has a strong connection to SDSU.

Well Adam's son, AJ Vinatieri just committed to a school. He had seven offers, including SDSU. So where did the kid commit to? He is going to the only FBS offer he had. It's UMASS! All the Status Quo people can ridicule UMASS all they want, but the kid took a shitty FBS school over the family legacy college SDSU. https://sports.yahoo.com/adam-vinati...ycsrp_catchall

kids will always take a FBS offer over fcs , yes there are probably 3-4 a year that dont and luckily NDSU has snagged some of those.

The "new" CUSA is - as of right now - literally the only realistic option for NDSU. And it's a shitty one. Do you really feel like NDSU recruiting will skyrocket because it's "FBS." I don't. MAC, MWC, B12....sure. The new CUSA. No.

His final 4 was UMass, SDSU, LSU, & Indiana. As others have stated, he had multiple PWO offers from P5 teams. And I seriously doubt he needs scholarship money.


I thought I saw somewhere that AJ is more a punter than a kicker, though he did both in HS. If that's the case UMass makes the most sense because he'll have the most practice.

Am I the only one who reads this and thinks...

Interesting to hear Culhane say today that the Bunnies have no interest in FBS and that they really consider themselves a BB school. I bet a few FCS trophies would tip the scale a bit though He also made it abundantly clear that the AD has been very active behind the scenes on the FBS move, but that ultimately NDSU needs a president before this can all really start because that's who goes out and gets the invite

Ol.Stiggy said it in an interview last fall when realignment was poppin off.
"we like it here at FCS & intend to stay fcs"

Brookings, stink forks, Vermont, cedar falls has zero chance"

You can't tell me that bunny cheerleaders don't tip the scales
