Intro Videos Banned from Playoff Games

[HerdBot]

I think the best thing to do is NDSU stand up to this nonsense and do it anyway and say what are you going to do to your arguably #1 moneymaker in FCS? At least over the last 5-6 years that has been the case. Can you see the NCAA trying to enforce this in any manner that would not be a egg on their face?

Some battles ain't worth fighting. Who knows they could probably call it a forfeit if you want to complain, flood their voice mail, email, twitter, facebook, etc

Get after EWU and that red field... There has to be some rule against something that hideous.

EWU has enough to worry about...Their coach is interviewing and a finalist at Nevada.

Well since NDSU doesn't make crap off the playoff tickets and since the NCAA is decreasing my entertainment how about NDSU just charge 30 dollars a ticket instead of 40. Might as well let it cost the NCAA a few hundred thousand per game in the dome. Heck they should be adding things of entertainment value instead of taking it away, have they even looked at the attendance numbers of the playoffs.

Well! You must not have witnessed the NCAA's Wheel Of Cams at the game on Saturday. Or the NCAA's same Pick 5 infographic that they have been using for the last 6 years. If those things don't add entertainment then there just is no pleasing some of you.

If I recall correctly, this was a big topic of discussion during our first playoff run. Home teams were to provide a "neutral" atmosphere and for at least a game or two we had no cannon fires after TDs, no "move those chains" first down calls, etc. Then we said F it and did all that stuff the following week cause no other home teams followed the rules. Not sure if this no intro video is something new or just a restatement of the existing rules.

Its trivial...but one of the stupidest things NCAA has done if this is new. Has no impact on the outcome, just taking away pleasure and enjoyment from fans...particularly kids.

There was no homegame the next week, we went to Bozeman and there we saw that MSU didn't abide by the rules, and then the next week we went to tampon carpet and they didn't either. So the next year NDSU had the #2 seed and said screw it we're doing what we want and NCAA never did anything.

Also - is this why there was no tunnel walk video last week or was that just a technical F-up? Maybe we just cut out the tunnel walk to "abide" by the rule.

PL won't be allowed to wear yellow?

Darn. Hope I can find a green one to wear.

Actually GT called the NCAA and got a clarification. They said ----treat it like a home game. BUT these are the no-nos. Like the selling of 50/50 tickets in the concourses , the ncaa will provide generic tape for the video boards and a few other things.

On the bright side their playoff highlight videos were over 1/2 NDSU because they had to be.

This thread should probably be introduced to the "signs" thread for this week's game. Might spark some creativity.

Play Thunderstruck everytime one if their videos is played?
