It's OK to not be OK.
so 3 good teams, then the rest are trash and about 10-15 points behind. yet another reason for moving up.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Was it Furman that set up the aggressive NIL?
Some small school with money did…
I remember Incarnate Word also has a meaningful NIL…
but everything is bigger in Texas and they are a good sized school
