    111 fcs teams need 56 teams.

    if Pioneer bails, we down to 58 haha. (but does JMU count? )


    Play Football in Fall Period in my opinion... if you can make it work... if there is no NCAA Championships, big deal, just have a Bowl Series!

    I don't think it's teams, it's conferences. And do the conferences that do not participate in the playoffs count in that 50%????

    Exactly this. If at all possible get the season in and if things haven't gotten better by the end of November then either hold the championship game in Frisco with the top two teams or just call it good and let the media vote for a champion.

    Yes I am quoting myself. So I read a little closer and realize it is TEAMS. "If 50% or more of eligible teams in a particular sport in a division cancel their fall season, there will be no fall NCAA championship in that sport in that division. "

    I would guess "eligible" includes all those teams from conferences that don't participate in the playoffs but ????

    Teams deciding not to play right now will make the decision for the board. Below 50% of playoff eligible teams opting out means no fall fcs championship. Sadly, I think this reality is coming. Hope a spring season is in the works.

    Not much headroom for more teams to drop out with pioneer and caa already called off.

    Still not sure how a playoff is even possible in this environment, what if a team has an outbreak during it? Are they just done? Would be a complete sham if that was the case.

    Maybe we have a vaccine by the spring and if so it would make things a lot simplier. That said, maybe we don't but the FCS is a complete tire fire when it comes to being on the same page with this thing right now. It is a complete joke.

    If people really want to try fall football, I would move to a conference schedule only if I was the MVFC and try to copy the Big 10's plan. It is the best I've seen, maybe we could have a conference title game if there is no playoff and then some kind of bowl game. I don't know, it is just a mess and they keep kicking the can down the road instead of making a decision.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    It’s all a slow procession to no playoffs. Probably doesn’t matter anyways, what happens when UNI gets 5 positive tests the week before we play them? We’ll be lucky to get three games in this fall.
