Who is coming with us to form this league? We will never be invited into a current G5 conference. location location location
    That's not really true. A lot of NDSU fans follow college football (FBS), and then follow NDSU. There's nothing wrong with that. I watch a ton of college football every Saturday. I watch 1 game from FCS. NDSU. That's it. I'm not wasting any time watching anything else from FCS when there are a ton of better games on throughout the day. I group a loyal NDSU fan. It's my first memory of sporting events, freezing my ass off at dacotah field. I didn't waste my time watching any D2 games either. I watched what was on TV, and the good games between ranked teams. Sometimes those good games don't even involve P5 conference teams.

    I don't know, do they have a professional football team that put's their city on the college football world? I'm going to guess no.

    Now this sums it all up. If G5 does a playoff the FCS becomes as relevant as D2. Pull your heads out NDSU experts. What are you doing about this? Please share with teammakers.

    Did I miss something where G5 is openly talking about a PO? Or, is this the hypothetical P5 split?

    A few G5 AD's(NIU seems to be leading the charge) are starting to make some noise. That said the AAC is still very much against it, then again they did put P6 on the helmets of all the AAC teams competing in bowls.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    I love that attitude; you are completely getting screwed and you act like you aren't. Great strategy.

    If they go that route, I don't see why they don't go to the FCS.

    Kind of funny how it would be more enticing to go FBS if it was more like FCS.

    A playoff works a lot better without the NCAA mucking it up.

    Thats worked wonders for the FBS.

    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.
