    College football still owns Saturday tv.

    It's a given that media companies have billions with b available if they think folks will watch.

    Plus, a FBS school isn’t paying 10 million to potentially get beat.[/QUOTE

    Did I say 10 mill? No...….you're the one tossing around numbers. I'm saying NDSU may be in a position to negotiate a better deal than the norm...….what's the norm? 600K vs Oregon?
    10 million was thrown around earlier in the thread in regards to a PPV event. I’d say the norm dropped to 300K for games signed in the last couple months to be played this year.

    The NFL is going to fill Saturday's this fall if there are no college games. Bank on it!

    If you had a choice, would you pick 3 road FBS games or 1 road FBS game and 2 homes?
    .


    17X National Champions: 65, 68, 69, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

    3 FBS games, the AD needs the money now more then ever, the players look forward to those games and we haven't been able to schedule them lately. Might as well take advantage of this pandemic if we can.........


    even though I know no games will be played.

    And that's why the remaining schools need to keep/get new games on the schedule.

    3 FBS road games by a country mile
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    1 million @ $50 = $50 Million ! TV station gets $20mil, Nebraska gets $20mil, NDSU gets $10million
    Nebraska loses $40 million when the Big 10 kicks them to the curb.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    Easy fix: Nebraska goes back to Big 12 and we replace them in Big 10, making that conference even better. #UnsureOfPurpleFont

    Three FBS road games, gotta think the seniors would take that in a heartbeat considering the outlook right now. Play one game a month, go 2-1 and maybe just maybe we could petition the NCAA to allow us to play a bowl game if the Covid situation let's up...Yes it's all doubtful but let's dream big and would send the seniors and Trey out in style.
