    Default 12 games for FCS?

    A couple of conferences want a permanent 12 game season. I guess if you have no threat of competing for a natty and potentially playing 16 games it is a good idea. I am not so sure.

    More games=good. Opens up a lot more possibilities for home and homes since 6 home games becomes easier. Hopefully this is paired with a rule for not more than 1 sub D1 game, maybe not more than 2 FBS.

    Opens up another date. Might make scheduling easier. Plus you dont have to play 12 if you dont want to. Plus its more revenue. . I like the option

    I'm still not sold, mainly because both Bohl and Klieman have discussed multiple times the wear and tear these players have gone through multiple 15 game seasons. From a player health perspective I am lukewarm on the idea.

    As long as 12 is not mandatory I like the idea a lot. I am with Taper though, there should be a few stipulations to keep AD's from abusing their football teams to collect checks or loading up on D2 schools.

    Good opportunity for a cup cake game to give the backups some real reps maybe

    How many teams have that problem?

    Bring on the competition. Play 2 FBS teams if the chicken shit watered down FCS teams won't play NDSU. Start playing DII and the dynasty ends. Keep on playing FBS because that is where NDSU belongs.

    I'm dead set against it. If you want more games, make a playoff run. No 12th game gives a little time for the walking wounded to heal up. We already play 15 games a year. And do it every year.
