FCS Selection Show

I hope that's not the case. Also, I thought I remember that if two seeded teams play, the higher bidder gets the game. I also recall that some AD out there, maybe GSU's screwed the pooch one year and missed out on home game. ???????

I don't think so unless it has changed recently. Every higher ranked team has had home field going back to at least 2010. In 2011, #1 SHSU and #4 Montana played, with SHSU being the home team. I'm pretty sure Montana would've outbid SHSU if that was the case at that time.

I'm pretty sure the top 2 seeds are guaranteed home games as long as they submit the minimum bids.

I'm a bit puzzled then as to why GT seemed to always put in a much higher bid than minimum. Not trying to argue, just trying to figure out how this works again.

To save everyone a lot of searching and needless reading...

CRITERIA – PRELIMINARY ROUND SITE SELECTION
With regard to first-round, second-round, quarterfinal and semifinal sites, in addition to the criteria listed in Bylaw
31.1.3.2.1, the NCAA Division I Football Championship Committee shall consider the following additional criteria
when selecting playoff sites:
1. Prospective host institutions must submit the following minimum financial guarantees, which shall be 75
percent of the estimated net receipts as submitted on the proposed budget:
First round—$30,000
Second round—$40,000
Quarterfinals—$50,000
Semifinals—$60,000
2. If the minimum financial guarantees are met, the committee will award the playoff sites to the top eight
seeded teams.
3. When determining host institutions for playoff games when both teams are unseeded, criteria shall apply as
follows: (1) quality of facility, (2) revenue potential plus estimated net receipts, (3) attendance history and
potential, (4) team’s performance (e.g., conference place finish, head-to-head results and number of Division
I opponents), and (5) student-athlete well-being (e.g., travel, missed class time).
4. If a second-round, quarterfinal or semifinal playoff site is not available due to the fact the institutions
involved did not submit a proposed budget, the committee will contact the institutions and offer the
opportunity to submit a bid at the current round’s minimum financial guarantee level. If seeded teams are not
involved, the committee will determine the host institutions by applying the championship site-selection
criteria in Bylaw 31.1.3.2.1.
5. If no institution is willing to submit a proposed budget at the current level, the previous round’s minimum
financial guarantee will be offered. If seeded teams are not involved, the committee will determine the host
institutions by applying the championship site-selection criteria in Bylaw 31.1.3.2.1.
6. The committee will consider previous crowd-control measures and crowd behavior of the prospective host
institution.

Teams have already submitted their guarantees so NDSU will have gone over the minimum in case they aren't a 1 or 2 seed.

It'd take pretty big ones to gamble on bidding the minimum.

Can someone smarter than me tell me what exactly this means?

1. Prospective host institutions must submit the following minimum financial guarantees, which shall be 75
percent of the estimated net receipts as submitted on the proposed budget:
First round—$30,000
Second round—$40,000
Quarterfinals—$50,000
Semifinals—$60,000
2. If the minimum financial guarantees are met, the committee will award the playoff sites to the top eight
seeded teams.

Does it mean you have to submit a bid that is 75% of game budget, meaning a 75% sellout crowd at NDSU produces a much higher bid than the minimums? Also, this doesn't seem to reflect that the higher seed automatically gets the game if other seeded teams bids higher.

I'm effing terrible with numbers (and computers/Iphones) btw and in case not obvious!!

You have to guarantee at least that dollar amount, whether through 75% of net receipts or out of pocket.

You're eligible to host as long as you meet the minimum bids for each round. If you're a seed and bid at least the minimum, you host a 2nd round game.

If you play another seed, the better seed hosts the game as long as the minimum is met.

EDIT: if I remember correctly, the amount that is paid is the greater of 75% of net receipts or the host institution's bid guarantee.

Come on CAS you're a lawyer and you can't figure that out????

It'd take pretty big ones to gamble on bidding the minimum.

Also, it isn't as if, if you 'win' you only pay what you bid. The bid is a guarantee to the NCAA, if you take in more $$$ than that the NCAA continues to take their slice so the floor for an NDSU bid shouldn't be the minimum NCAA requirement it should be based on the NCAA's share of the minimum amount you think you're going to earn on the game.

The numbers shown are minimums. But you have to show 75% of the projected revenue for the game. Because thats what the NCAA takes. Thats my best guess.

We need Hammersmith back.

1. Pretty sure that the 75% of estimated net receipts is just a general estimate used to establish the minimum guarantees. What the NCAA will take is a different deal altogether.
2. If all top 8 seeds supply the minimum guarantee, then the top 8 seeds will host in the second round (the round of 16.) If one of the seeded team's guarantee is under the minimum, then it's not automatic that they'll get to host.
