The right time

[Herd]

The only issue I have with what Bresciani said, is that I'd say we are currently atop the third tier. Figure the P-5, then the G-5, then FCS. Moving up to the top of the second tier would be just fine with me.

Who won the G5 national championship last year?

Really? Did you read Stewart Mandel's most recent mailbag?

Is there any hope for the non-Power 5 schools at all? I support a school, Tulsa, that has history in football, but since we are not in the Power 5, no one cares, and in turn, no one comes to games (unless they are playing Oklahoma or Oklahoma State). I imagine we aren't the only school to experience this. I know the easy answer is to win football games, but is there anything else schools can do to be viable in FBS?

There's no question the Group of 5 schools have become more marginalized than they were even 10 years ago. You've got 60-plus schools dreaming of becoming the next Boise State, but the fact is there's only one Boise State. Few other non-power schools have managed to achieve that level of success for more than a couple of years. Which means they're all mostly just playing for a spot in the Camellia Bowl, which for all but the most diehard fans is mostly a three-hour side note during Christmas week. And of course as soon as a school strings together a few such seasons, someone else is going to come along and hire away its coach. That seems depressing.

Staying in the second tier of D1 is what Larsen and Taylor before him have been consistently saying for some time now.

NDSU ISNT IN THE 2nd tier. P5 G5 FCS D2 d3. We are in 3rd right now. Furthermore playing a FBS team every 4 years like the Olympics doesn't give us a taste of FBS! What is Deans smoking & why doesn't a reporter in this town ask him point blank. "Why haven't you or your AD approached the Mountain West?" (Hell Wichita st did & they don't have football!)

Any thoughts on what impact, if any, the no fcs scheduling policy had on the B1G's big media contract?
