The money they are discussing here is not fan/booster money because that amount largely does not go to the NCAA. It mostly goes directly to the schools. They have that money and keep that money. The NCAA money is like 85% March Madness media rights. A decent percentage of that money goes to D2 and D3, smaller D1 conferences, and non-revenue sports. You can call it greedy, but you can also argue they are interested in keeping more of the money they generate just like any taxpayer who would rather keep more of their salary. I don't believe they want to shut off the tap to everyone else, but I assume they want to keep more of the revenue. And also have more autonomy in some of the decision making. There are more of the smaller voters than the bigger votes so they have a lot of say over what the big boys get.
It's much more complex than just saying they are greedy. As I've said before, the best and worst thing to happen to the NCAA was the crazy growth on March Madness and the media money it generates.
Another reason to FBS. We obvious weren't included in this survey since it says it only surveyed "Division 1 football fans". I would think this is something we'd win hands down "if" were included. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/nebr...150317160.html
FBS OR BUST FIRE LARSEN

It's like 80-85% of the NCAA revenue comes directly from the broadcast rights for March Madness. CBS recovers their expense through advertising. Advertisers gain revenue from that advertising so i guess if you count the money the advertisers attribute to this advertising I guess you can say the money comes from fans and boosters. CBS wouldn't bid that much if not for the fans.
Universities get a slice of that revenue but they get a larger percentage of their revenue from fans and boosters and their own sponsorship and broadcast rights. The mix of that revenue will vary from school to school.

I've been on FBS bandwagon for 10 years now, screaming yelling and convincing people and I KNOW I HAVE THE MAJORITY FOLLOWING ME for last 2-3 years now.
But this is so freakin depressing. suck in fcs the 3rd tier of football. no AD with balls, no President pushing it.
stuck with a irrelevant Basketball program for another 2-3 years with a horrible head coach & philosophy, not exciting whatsoever
wrestling, baseball - meh

NDSU is going to miss out on capitalizing on this Football Dynasty run, we are already losing attention/marketing bad right now.
