I don't understand how you wouldn't want to give just one of those games up once for the opportunity for something like this. And don't kid yourself, we are scheduling ZERO FBS games in the 5 years unless we start losing consistently. Put it in perspective of any other FCS team and they would KILL for this opportunity. Hell UND is trying to kill themselves just to get their games on FSN North so people in MSP can watch the game on TV. This is just another way for us to push the envelope and increase our footprint.
Those 3 HOME playoff games arent automatic. The key to the success of the gimmick is the opponent. Other than that I dont see what the big deal is. Weve played there 3 times already.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
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.
