Re: NCAA meetings this week
I heard Matt Larsen on the radio about a month ago and he said that NDSU was looking into the feasibility of offering "full cost of tuition" if the top conferences would go to that. He iterated that NDSU was competing more with MAC/CUSA/MWC schools for recruits than other FCS schools and that we can't let them have that advantage.

I don't know for sure but I think that would have to be a conference level decision.Originally Posted by HazenBizon

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

Better to be leaning forward and have seen the feasibility or lack thereof ahead of time. It would probably make it easier if NDSU were ever approached by any of the listed conferences to say, yes we have looked at "full cost of tuition" and yes we can afford to do this or will be able to get to that level within a certain amount of time vs telling them it will take us time to look at this issue and we'll get back to them.

Re: NCAA meetings this week
I agree. It's going to be interesting at all levels to see what sort of economic and philosophical conclusions different institutions and conferences come to and where fissures could open up.

My first thought as well.

Well obviously this was going to pass. However, it raises lots of questions specifically if it relates to FCS.

Interesting. I think they made a couple of good moves.

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.

Re: NCAA meetings this week
IMHO the 4-year scholly guarantee is potentially a bigger deal than the cost of attendance
