12 games for FCS?

To lessen the wear and tear of players and the risk of serious injuries to those players who are a must for a Championship run. Look how last year's schedule affected the team.

BTW, most NDSU fans are fans of the Bison, not their opponents. They still watched when the likes of Morgan State, St. Francis, Prairie View A&M, Delaware State, Incarnate Word and UND came to town to be sacrificed at the FargoDome.

You get excited to watch them play games they have a >99% chance of winning? Those games are lame, as evidenced by the half empty dome in the 2nd half.

Absolutely. This is the only time we get to see the "playmakers of tomorrow." This is how I, and others, knew how good Carson Wentz was going to be prior to the Iowa State game. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten to experience this since the Incarnate Word game in 2014.

As far as a half empty stadium, that's not true. It's mainly the student section, which seats those who have an attention of a goldfish.

Or.... it provides opportunities for more home and homes with half decent teams...that'd be the fun way to look at it.

We already have an opportunity for more home games. It's called the playoffs. I see no reason to bang us up some more. Leave as is, we get 15 games most years as it is.

Then don't schedule 12. Pretty simple really.

So do other teams not get banged up too?

The one difference is we get every teams best shot. Not sure if that translates into extra wear on our guys or not, though. I would think that we had a lot more games where teams planned extra hard for our game, than what JMU had to deal with last year. I could be wrong, though...it happens from time to time.

[El_Chapo]

Guessing he means extra games me more wear on the players...and team being depleted by extra injuries.

no. 24 teams is a JOKE> should be 16 maybe even 12

What about when the other team is just a fhawker without a cause not going anywhere and we have home field through the playoffs on the line.

Doesn't matter because we'll still have to play those dirty ankle twisting rabbit turds twice.

All the more reason to schedule meaningful games, where the other team has something on the line too?

Still going to have to play the valley schedule.
