NDSU Football TV Ratings

I think it would help yes......as u have pointed out many times, the g5 have nothing to play for but our bowls Is it the end all be all....nope. But the fanbase wants it.

But your really not addressing my main point r u. To refresh it was if the g5 ever figures out a real fcs like playoff, ndsu better figure out how to move up cuz if they don't su FB will suck

The magic wand cant do that also????

pro football is often unwatchable and ethically dubious. Many college teams have jacked up ticket prices to the point that students and young fans cant afford to go, over a period where economics prospects for the yound have whithered.

the number of high school students has also fallen slightly since the peak millennial wave from 2004-2010 or so. The primary driver of the decline in participation is more likely economics. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobcook.../#401f0a962e4c

again, its the economics. Participation in virtually all sports is down, not just football.

I don't believe all sports are on the decline, I think lacrosse and Golf are on the upswing. I would have to double check but I think I read that last night when reveieing the National Federation of State High School Associations statics on sports participation ... I think there were like 10 sports that were growing.....fball definitely not one of them.

Wow, and I came to this thread to read about ratings. Many things are going to die out unless something changes with the way parents are raising their kids, let alone all the garbage taught in public schools. Yep and all the oil was going to be gone before the year 2000 according to the experts back in 1977. Now it's global warming and high schools kids won't be playing football. The only reason football dies is all the illegal immigrant Mexicans keep flooding over the border and they take over and make boring soccer most important in the USA.

Me too, but I got to read a post filled with paranoid right-wing ramblings, so thanks for that.

Not to mention a slight racist slant to it oo. Merry Christmas to all! Well not all just the ones I like.

I'd argue that professional football is less ethically dubious than any amature form of the game.

Any speculation why LeBron James called out the NFL owners and not the NCAA and collegiate athletics establishment? Serious question - I have no idea.

Big 10 or Big 12??? Im all in. Mac or MWC. I have no interest.

I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. I've waffled back and forth on the whole FBS thing but after watching these early bowls games, I'm pretty entrenched in the FCS camp. Our early season non-conference schedule gets frustrating at times, but IMO, nothing beats the playoffs, even this year with relatively easy games.

Watching these early bowls is absolutely pathetic. Absolutely no one cares about these games from the players to the crowd to the announcers to everyone in-between. These games are about as boring as you can get, even more boring than our OOC games at the beginning of the year.

Because the players in that professsional league have less power than at the highest tier of any other professional sports league in North America. Also, he had an NFL player on the show when he said what he said, so context.
