A new and better FBS thread

[NDSU1980]

Closest opponent in CUSA is what, Middle Tennessee? 70% of schools in Texas and Louisiana, and Florida? Hard pass.

I'm not opposed to moving FBS, but to move and join this conference sounds flat out silly.

I've been holding out hope these past few years that the G5 would somehow break off from the P5 to create their own championship, but doesn't sound like that will be happening anytime soon. Until then, I don't really see a point in entering FBS if all were going to be playing for is the "Charmin Ultra Bowl."

I bet you say that to all the cute customers at your bank.

I'm not saying CUSA is the best ever
but if it's a football affiliate and we fly to 5 away games every year in exchange for 5 FBS home games and 2 POWER 5 out of conference games with $2
million payouts in Big 10/Big 12. they HELL YA I'm all for it.

Mountain West ALL sports is the goal (or Big 12 )

That schedule is a pipe dream. Must be awesome to just make random shit up that'll never happen and hope it sticks.

Hell yeah Big10 champs, Rose bowl, I'm all for it!

Status Quo Forever !!!!!

67 national titles in 70 years.
11am on a soccer field in cold dallas.
every bar knows who we are.
blah blah blah.

Frisco this year was 60% ndsu snowbirds, I saw maybe 1000 fans under 30. not even kidding.

Considering you were drunk for 3 days straight thats not surprising. But youve always been pretty bad when it comes to math.

We are only flying 5 times in a 12 game schedule that has 2 P5 OOC road games?

OK "BRO." Couldn't be more excited for that epic Liberty rivalry followed by a season ending trip to the river walk in San Antonio for the abracadabra bowl on 12/23 I'm sure.

Here’s the difference bro: my solution is temporary just like the great west sucked but was a stepping stone.

We made the most out of that and got into a great position to dominate.

Where would we be had we waited for the big sky or gateway to come calling?

Time for us to yolo bro.

[El_Chapo]

time to do SOMETHING. we are dying a slow death here.

Have you tried posting shit on the internet bro? It used to be a place where you could say stuff.

Nothing will happen for a couple months anywhere with respect to any realignment. After that, who knows really ...

"The (D1) board will also conduct a joint meeting with the (D1) Transformation Committee to provide its perspective to the committee as it begins its work."

That was just last week

At risk of repeating myself, an FBS conference doesn't want a football affiliate. Why?

20.02.6 Football Bowl Subdivision Conference. A conference classified as a Football Bowl Subdivision conference shall be comprised of at least eight full Football Bowl Subdivision members that satisfy all bowl subdivision requirements. An institution shall be included as one of the eight full Football Bowl Subdivision members only if the institution participates in the conference schedule in at least six men's and eight women's conference-sponsored sports, including men's basketball and football and three women's team sports, including women's basketball.

A football affiliate does not help an FBS Conference maintain that precious FBS Conference status. Eight full is minimum; ten full is better in case the next round of musical conference chairs starts. An affiliate doesn't help that calculus.

Honestly, that "full" membership is why southern teams (SHSU, JMU, JSU) get sniffs and not the northern plains. They are an easy add geographically to already southern conferences: bus trips, not flights, for the Olympic sport teams.
