A new and better FBS thread

I mean... there isn't going to be a ton more realignment... is there? If not now, when?

AAC needs to replace what they lost (3 teams).
What # do they want for their conference?
12 14 16?

When the Big 12 tv deal expires is another point in time.
2025? Texas and Oklahoma gone then, if they don’t arrange an early buyout.
Big 12 back down to 12 teams then.
What do they want?
12-14-16?
So they could add 2 or 4 in anticipation of new tv contract plus negotiating that contract

Lol remember when all the old farts were claiming the P5 was going to split off? Haha, nothing major is going to change. Time to move up. The P5 with a seat at the table aren’t going to change the status quo, the G5 eating the scraps are just happy to have scraps, and as it sits no one can sue the P5 so they’ll stay put. Won’t see major structural changes besides the 12 team playoff for decades.

I’m pretty certain that this is the last realignment if some of the G5’s expand and the dust settles. Basically our last shot. Color me not very optimistic.

K states QB just blew a knee. Non contact. Klieman looked nervous.

I would say he looked devastated. It didn't look good, but I hope I'm wrong.

[El_Chapo]

That's encouraging. You were told from someone in the know?

yea. after 8 years, I'm finally waning on them

I love the argument when people bring up Fargo...most have a perception all FBS teams are in a major metro, when in reality they are not

Listening to what is being said on the Insiders (especially when ML is on) and reading between the lines, I have no doubt that NDSU is actively looking to move up. No guarantee it happens tho. Many moving parts. But I like our odds

and the MAC might not be bad in the new 12 team playoff. Play 3 regional heavyweight FBS programs in non-con and then sweep the conference. High probability of getting in frequently IF you can get highly ranked non-con wins
