    Ok el_chapo research shows 30,000 for $75 million. .... it looks awesome. That's all we need

    Hell 40,000 for. $100 million. If NDSU started fundraising tomorrow and advertised it with a big thermometer showing the fundraising status outside the SHAC.. we could hit it in 1 year


    Yeah, that's right, my bad. I forgot how quick and easy it was to raise that $18 million for the BSA renovation. $100 million should be no problem!

    The current playoff system makes all teams eligible for the playoffs. They won't change that because to do so would be illegal--a violation of federal antitrust law.

    Your statement is simply not true. Even if they don't have automatic bids to non Big Five teams. There are always 2 to 4 teams in the top 20 that are not in the Big 5. Currently, there are two teams.

    You keep beating that drum.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Raising $100 million for football would be 100 times easier than $40 million for basketball. You are kidding right? Football is king fool

    Being eligible and being selected are two different things me boy! If a team isn't in one of the P5 conferences the latter ain't happenin.

    At 4 teams correct. At 16 or 20 teams incorrect.

    Georgia Southern would have to get a waiver approved if there weren't enough teams. But as far as I can tell, teams in similar situations with bowl eligible records have always had their waiver denied.

    We'll all be dead by the time the playoffs expand to 20 teams.
