    Mods, since it is it covered in another thread, you can pull this one down.
    Oh I wasn't be a D.ck I was just letting you know.

    more exposure for it the better I HOPE IT HAPPENS!!

    Given the change in players being able to benefit financially from their likeness use already underway...I think you have 20 to 30 teams that already considering breaking away...

    Oh, all's good. I didn't take it that way. I was just bummed...I thought I finally had a scoop to share on the board. I need to be quicker on the draw.
    I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

    The key take aways from the article for me -- the SI author and I are in complete agreement about the two things:

    1. there are a lot of FBS teams that have no business fielding a team at the FBS level
    2. the only FCS team that truly could compete at the FBS level is NDSU

    There are a number of FCS teams that if given the additional financial resources this would provide they would do just fine at the next level.

    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.

    I also suspect the other role of the NCAA is to provide cover... The NCAA can't do a thing without University President approval. However whenever something happens, the Presidents can say "Hey, its the NCAA's decision."
